POWERS FLIGHT
STIRS ATLANTA
First Bunco Man Con
victed Make Good His
Boast At Farm

ATLANTA, April 18.-Last Fri
day Abe Powers, the first man con
victed and sent to the state farm a
Milledgeville in the bunco game
syndicate here, escaped. The fact
was not reported to the State Pris
on Commission here until Saturday
after he had had "a hours start
Today the escape is the center of {
new and bitter controversy, it being
charged that the prison officials eth.
er were criminally negligent with
Powers, or, as has been vaguely
limited, the confidence man bought
his way to freedom. 1t is recalled
that before going to MilledgeVille
he boasted that he would never serve
his sentence.
Chairman Davidson, of the state
prison commission, is understood to
have gone to Milledgeville to make
a personal investigation of the facts
in Powers escape.
1t has developed that Powers, al
though at the state farm only few
weeks, was afforded his OppOrtuni-
ty for flight by being made q
"trusty." He was made "trusty
by the state warden on the strong
recommendation of the Jail authori-
ties in Atlanta, where Powers was
confined for along while before his
trial and conviction. That is the
statement made by the state prison
warden. On the other hand, Sheriff
Lowrey says it is not the policy OF
his jailors to recommend anybody to
the prison farm warden for special
consideration. He admitted, hOwev-
er, that the deputy who had charge
of Powers may have told the state
farm authorities Powers had been "a
nice prisoner"
Warden j. E. Smith says it is not
ordinarily the policy Of the prison
to make a trusty of q prisoner as
soon as he did of Powers but the
strong recommendation from the Full
ton Jail and the mans good record
two months were the basis.
When asked if the work assigned
water carriers at the state farm was
not among the lightest duties impos-
ed upon the inmates. Warden Smith
stated that the service was consid-
cred "hard work" The duties in
cluded, said, supplying water for
about eighteen men, two water car
riers being assigned to a squad Of
workers, which was the
case at the time the escape was made
The source of the water supply fo.
the squad of men on Friday morning.,
at the time of the getaway, was a
small spring located in the woods
about 100 yards from the scene of
labor. The spring is said to be hid
den within the woods, and the car
rier is at times out of sight of the
guards.
Official reports, made to the
State Prison Commission and to So
icitor General Boykin of the es-
,ape of Abe Powers are followed by
Indications that Powers getaway was
well framed by pals.
1t was his capture and C. B. Hol-
eys complaint that he could get
