Guerin's Only Hope of Escape
Was in the L0ue of "ChicagO Mau'

But Eddie Guerin had in the hole-one
slender hope in thousand black despairs That hope
was Chicago May Churchill. Everything rested with
. Chicago May. Eddie had implicit confidence in her.
II she could only get out Of the pententary before her
three years sentence had expired, he might escape
for Eddie firmly convinced that Chicago May
could move heaven and earth II she had mind to-
This was the hope that he carried with him as he
loaded chained hand and foot the dirty black
convict ship that carried him to the unspeakabe hole
to which he had been sentenced. And in the months
men beneath the blazing tropical sky, it kept him
alive while his fellow convicts dropped in their tracks
and were emptied into the shallow graves that cov-
cred the island
For months he heard no word. The guards an
to every question the point of the bayonet
and he was forbidden on pain of punishment to speak
to the new victims that arrived with every boat His
hopes fell low and lower as the dreary months went
by and the fever began to creep into his bones he
dragged his heavy chains under the tropical At
last he gave up hope and resigned himself to the tor
lures Of living death.
Meanwhile Chicago May Churchill was employing
all Of her arts and wiles with view of getting out OF
the French prison in which she confined and going
to the rescue of Guerin.
She sent word to the governor of the prison that
she had information Of an intended robbery which she
would trade for a Communication of her sentence When
she granted interview with the French prison
OF fifth rate crooks, whom she named, planning
to rob the Lyons branch of the Bank Of France on
certain day two weeks from that time.
OF course, the unlucky rascals that she named had
dreamed of the ambitious plot she unfoded to
the French police. Guerin himself had planned the
robbery, which nipped In the bud by his arrest
But the credulouS Frenchmen seized the men she

His Chains Unlocked Just
as Death Was Reaching for Him

week later Chicago May sat in the squaid back
room of water front cafe in Havana with three dis
reputable sailors. There a long conversation
held in whispers and when it Chicago May
reached into the bosom of her dress and brought out
roll of bills She handed $40 900 to the leader of the
trio and $4,000 apiece to the others.
few days later new guard was placed over
Eddie Guern. To all appearances he was crueler
than any of his brutal predecessors
Eddies means and chattering teeth failed to move
him. He prodded the gaunt prisoner to his feet in
spected his shackles and ordered him to march into
one OF the swamps near the shore On they marched,
beyond the usual limits set for the prisoners until they
reached a sandy strip of beach.
Halt! said the guard. He bent over and un.
locked the heavy irons Guerins ankles and wrists
Eddie stared in amazement and increduous surprise.
The guard smiled.
Chicago May is waiting for you in Paramsribo"
he added. This afternoon another convict will be
buried as Eddie Guerin. Co. and don't waste mo-
He handed him revolver and a flask OF water.
But how can go?" asked Guerin. The coast
Is at least forty miles away"
The guard gave low whistle Two heads ap-
peared over the dense vegetation the border of the
swamp He made sign and two convicts appeared
from the swamp, dragging hollow-log canoe
The guard wished them good luck and returned to
the prison When night came Guerin and his two
companions pushed their primitive craft into the
breakers and started for the South American coast
The safest route lay in straight line, but that
would have brought them to the French province Of
cayenne, and the risk of recapture great SO the
trio padded In coastwse direction intending to
beach their canoe in the mouth of the Maroni River
which was the boundary between French and Dutch
Guiana From there Guern planned to get to Para
maribo thirty miles up the coast, on foot.
They padded by turns all night long. A heavy
was running and the little bobbed like a CORK
on the mountainous swels Il not long before
Guerns weakened vitality gave out and he sat in the
prov OF the shaky craft while the others took
All night long none Of the three had uttered word.
But as Guerin seemed to doze the two convicts
began muttering to each other. The first sentence
galvanized Guerin into life Still feignng sleep he
listened to their talk.
The convicts knew that Guerin was an American

Sentenced for Life to the
TOrments of DeUiLs Island Prison

Devils Island, as have limited, is unquestionably
the nearest thing to torment and burning birthstone
this side Of the hereafter. 1t is dismal pile of sun
beaten rocks and pestilential swamps off the east
coast of South America, the Equator. 1t is
graveyard in the where living rot in chains
among the rows of crosses that tell the fate of their
convict predecessors and predict their end When
convict lands In this fever bed 1t is only question
of months before he becomes one Of the living skee-
tons he totterng in their heavy chains before the
bayonets Of their guards.
Death is mercifully swift in Devils Island The
average convict is released from his agony within
three years, when his system becomes too weak to
sst the poisonous miasma that cings to the marshes
of the island. And death is the only escape
No ship comes to this graveyard in the sea except
the convict ships, carrying victims of French JUS
tce and fresh guards to relieve the garrison The
tire personnel OF the prison guards must be changed
