de les dresser dams la lu1niere; lis les

FROM STATE PRISON
Five OF Most Desperate Grim.
I. inals Are Now AT Large
In State

With three more convicts escaping
from the state penitentiary last night,
five to get away this week
and four others who attempted to get
away but were caught, the prison Off
cials are today taking extra precautions
to hold the prisoners who are still on
hand.
The privilege of going outside the
prison yard has been withdrawn from
some of the trustees, while greater
vigilance is being exercised over the
other conyicts inside the walls James
Carroll, Herbert Merithew, Jack Mono
han and Frank Smith, the four who
were caught as they were escaping Tues
day night, are confined in the prison
bull pen' where they can be closely
guarded.
The three who escaped last night
were TRUSTEES. They were:
James Kelly, serving a term of two
to five years for burglary committed
in Multnomah county. He had also
SERVED time in California and New York
prisons
G. D. Jones, sent up from Hood River
for two to five years for burglary.
This is the second time he has escaped
He escaped before while employed in
flax mills. He was recaptured at Med.
ford, where an automobile he had sto-
len broke down.

tiers, which are outside the prison walls
and Armstrong also was outside tn,
walls. Jones and Kelly wore whit
walters clothes, but these they sool
! discarded as they were found toda,
a few hundred yards southeast Of th,
prison. That they filled their shoe
with red pepper is also indicated b,
the fact that the prison bloodhounds
which were following the trail abou
midnight, ran into red pepper.
. Warden Murphy is personally lead
ing the posse which is on the trail o.
the three. It is believed they are max
ing their way south.
