started an investigation OF the amazing
escape Of Robert Fay, reputed former

ton of ships
Fay walked out Of Atlanta peniten-
tiary late yesterday with another pris-
uner.

not need to risk exposure because of
lack of money.
No arrest is expected as the result
Of the escape. Warden Zerbst believes
J. W. Pouncey, guard at the gate, was
careless.
