Dyed His White Stripes
Color Of the DARK

An ingenious escape was made several years
ago by a prisoner confined in an institution on
Ghe Pacific Coast. At that time the uniform
Of stripes was being used. Incidentally, it
may be stated that the use OF stripes has
caused an endless amount Of criticism, and
they have now been abolished in practically
all the larger institutions Of the country. II
has been contended, and Justly SO, that they
caused the prisoner needless humiliation. But
the hasic idea Of their use was TO render his re-
capture easy II he escaped In this they
Jailed dismally. Prisoners intending to escape
found many ingenious ways Of securing civil
ian clothing. The prisoner in the case have
mentioned could not obtain civilian clothing
so he invented another way out. He contrived
to get some dye of the same shade as the dark
stripes with which he dyed the white ones He
then stole an overcoat from one of the guards.

shem that Mcclure had been boasting that
they would never get him 70 Portland and that
there was no doubt he would attempt to escape
on the way.
Young had been guard for more than
twenty years, and he informed the warden
that he knew prisons and prisoners inside and
out, and that there wasn't any prisoner who
could escape Trom him. We find the three of
them two days later ON the North Coast Linn
tied going through Idaho. The train had just
passed Sand Point when Mcclure asked TO go
TO the layatory. Young accompanied him and
held his foot In the door. Mcclure suddenly
stamped on his foot and as he involuntarily
withdrew it slammed and locked the door.
Young rushed around TO the platform, opened
the yestbuie door and looked out This did
not take minute. The window to the lava
tory was open, but Mcclure had disappeared
as though the earth had swallowed him. Young
sprang for the emergency bellrope and stopped
the train with jerk that lifted the passengers
out Of their seats and threw the food off the
table in the dining car AS the train came to
a stop Young and Wickens alighted and ran
back along the track. There had been light
gnow and they figured it would be easy to SEQ
where Mcclure had alighted and trace him.
But there was not the slightest sign Of foot
atep in the snow, so there was nothing TO dc
but again board the train and go on to Port
land A puzzling case, as DR.. Watson would
say? Not at all. Mcclure had figured that
his recapture would be easy Ii he alightedp
30 he didn't alight. He merely grabbed small
rod above the lavatory window on the outside
# the train and drew himself up to the roof,
where he threw himself fat on his stomach
and in this manner rode into Portland, alght-
ing mile or two from the station when tbs
train slowed down. Mile after mile he hao
ridden on the roof, not three yards from his
srstwhile custodiang
Hardened as Mcclure was in gonae respects,
ne showed that ne "had heart" by actually
writing letter TO the warden about week
later begging him not TO discipline either of
these guards as they had both been very vigi-
liant and had used every precaution in guard
ing him. He assured the warden that he would
have escaped from any other guard just as
easily and that both Young and Wictens had
simply been "out Of luck" in being chosen for
the trip.

'kidded 'en along" So that was all of that
I investigated the escape of Robert Fay
from the Federal prison at Atlanta. Fay, it
will be remembered, is q German who was con
victed during the war Of placing bombs on
American ships. He got away with ease. With
another prisoner named Knobloch, his cell
mate, he forged pass in the name Of MI
Bixby, the chief engineer, which permitted
them to 60 out into the yard of the institution.
They secured ladder, some rags and some
coils OF wire and presented their pass to the
guard, stating that they had been sent to clean
and fix electric lights in the yard. They spent
about fifteen or 5wenty minutes pretending to
fix lights. Then they presented the pass to
one Of the tower guards, stating that they
aad been sent to fix the lights on the grounds
of the warden's residence, which was further
away. This they did so cooly and with such
an air of authority that the guard did not
telephone into the deputys Office to verify the
pass, as he was supposed to do, but permitted
them to go out. The pair then graciously

there the pipe, however, did not run into
"I'Il stop that" said the warden. So near thes
end Of the drain he took out twenty-five feet
of the large pipe, replacing 1t with a battery
of small ones through which no man could
possibly crawl He figured that the next man
who tried to get away would go to all the
trouble the first one did and then find further
progress barred when liberty was just in sight
Two days later another prisoner took the same
road to freedom. When he reached the battery
of small pipes he Was not at all disrnayed. He
had already provided for that Taking from
under his coat the hammer and chisel which
he had brought with him he cut hole through
the top Of the large pipe, scraped away a few
feet Of earth and came headfirst up into Tho

Escapes and attempted escapes are not bv
any means confined to men. Women prisoners
do not take kindly to the deprivation of lib
erty any more than do their brothers But in
proportion to their totals I believe that 4he

institution happens to be located outside city.
"A woman cannot tramp through the country
alone, begging q ride here and there in an
automobile, hopping" freight trains. loafing
around railroad yards and doing similar
things without exciting a vast amount of In
quiry and suspicion. For this reason most az
the escapes by women are made from reforwu

inclined to look upon a getaway" as lark.
In most Of the reformatories it is simplv .
case of walking out, as the girls are allowed
ordinarily around the grounds of the institu-
tion. which are not always protected by walls
The officials know, ss well as the girls. that
their recapture is almost certain.
Consequently, however, women do escape
from prisons. A short time ago two women IN

spent another fifteen or twenty minutes pre-
tending to fix lights here and there, their
labors taking them further and further away
from the prison, until, like the Arabs, they
silently stole away.
Like many other escapes, this one illustrates
that, no matter how secure bars and bolts may
be, it is in the Last analysis the human element
which must ever be recognized. Crooks, like
love, laugh at locksmths
