traditional methods of 4 dramatic es-
cape.
Once in a great while, indeed. guards
are still hoodwinked by an audaciOus
trick. Some years ago. in Newgate, Con
necticult, a very unusual and original
departure from prison occurred.
A prisoner had died. and his body
was lying in a pine box in the chapel
ready for burial A cOlorcd prisoner re
allied the possibilities of that box. Pre-
tending Illness with convincing realism
at the dinner table. the negro was per
mitted to leave the room and so to his
cell unattended. Instead. he went to the
chapel, removed the body from the box
and hid it in a corner. Then he fixed the
nails in the lid so that the box would
open easily, and got inside.
After dinner, three Irish prisoners and
n guard were sent to get the box. The
four got into the prison wagon, with
their burden. and drove off to the
cemetry As they set the box down by
the grave n moan came from It. The
men stood staring Mt it with bulging
eyes. Then a louder groan arose.
"Howly murdther!" yelled the Irish
convicts. ''The corpse is aloive!" and
they tore back 70 the Jail, the guard only
one step behind them.
The corpse" lost no time IN coming
out Of his hiding place. The guards gun
lay where he had dropped 1t in his flight,
and the prison wagon was also conven-
iently left. With these to help him, the
fleeing convict had good start before
the pursuit began to and he got away.
This is an escape after the pattern
Of medieval affairs. There is adventure
In It. But such tricks are rarely planned,
let alone executed. Mostly, prisoners who
depart unofficially from Jail do so by
collision with guard. by force in small
jails, not strongly policedl, or occasion
ally by breaking their word when given
liberties under the honor system. And
when the prisoner does carefully break
out Of jail by one of these methods he
usually ends by coming TO DR.. budding
to help him break in again.
