and If they are promised they will
rot be shot, think they'd surrender. :"
said Jenkins.
The guards often used to befriend
prisoners, and 1t may be that the
break away resulted from the men
taking advantage OF a friendly guard.
1t would be easy for the men to get
ammunition from the outside. Chicken
dinners were ordered from hotel
outside. Inspection at the gates often
was superficial. Guards and employees
were rarely searched or suspected Of
intrigue with prisoners.
They might possibly have started
to tunnel their way out. There were
no guards inside the enclosure. At
dusk, movement within the walls was
easy. Prisoners are always rushed to
the cell house in case of darkness
from storm or fog because of this
fact"
