Some of the men were employed in

They worked quietly and swiftly.
While they were putting the ladder
together. Charles Toomey, serving
time for a 100000 bank embezzie-
ment, tried to dissuade them from
escaping. He was backed against a
wall at the point of a gun. Then a
guard appeared and he was knocked
out with the butt end of pistol.
several OF the convicts kept pulling
up the ladder while this was going
on. on the wall another guard was
encountered. overpowered and locked
In the watchman's tower.
Capture Motor Truck.
The prisoners dropped two slender
ropes, the end of which were fast
ened to the wall. and then they
slipped to the street. They tried to

small auto truck came along and
the driver was persuaded to abandon
1t under the influence of several
pistols.
Reports differ as to whether three
OF the men left the vehicle or wheth-
er they stuck together. In any
event they abandoned the machine
and Communicated another, a half
mile away. They were last seen

Mr.. Nagel agreed to go to the out

So he took the American flag and in
the face Of constant firing went out
to the army and talked with their

compound neutral ground. and since
then there has not been much firing
