fully carried out last night when
twenty colored inmates of. the IN
stitution elided three women guards
and made their escape. Four were
later recapt1red.
A concerted attack on Miss Julia
sfiesy, a Inatron, was made shortly
after dinner. The girls were as
sennbled in the Washington Cottage
near the main building when the
lights were suddenly switched off
and the first intimation OF q
wholesale escape was made known.
Take Keys from Guard.
Miss Glesey was seized and her
keys taken from her. Two other
guards in nearby cottages were un-
able to come to her aid for fear
that the girls in those cottages
would Join the escape. "a

al Of the girls, since they are be-
liavAd to have had little money with

girls.
Miss Altoona Gales, superintendent
OF the institution, declared that the
escapes had been engineered by q girl
who was recently returned after
running away. She believes that
