den at the wheel of the automobile.
The three desperadoes dropped CON-
pletely out of sight and no trace OF
them was found until five days later
when store was reported burglar
ized at Redfield, jefferson county. 4
stolen automobile loaded with cloth
ing. food and supplies was found
broken down short distance from
the store and little later Joe Sulli-
van staggered into the village of Red
field and gave himself up to the Off
GERS there, sent to investigate the bur-
glary. He admitted that he and his
companions broke into the store and
that they had continued through the
woods when he gave up the effort to
get away.
Details of the escape and where
abouts of the three men. not known
before, were given officers by Sulli-
van after his companions had been
killed. Leaving the automobile, the
three had made wide circuit and
walked back into Little Rock on the
night following their escape, early
IN the morning. They procured a
boat and floated down the Arkansas
river for three nights and then left
the boat and went across country sew
eral miles to Redfield TO secure food,
having been practically without any
thing to eat since their escape. Con-
nell was wearing an artificial limb
when he left the prison and the unac-
| customed walking had SO injured his
| leg that his companions were forced
| to carry him in their arms, Sullivan
\ said.

fused TO divulge their identity.
Pardons Two Trusty COnyicts.
Governor McRae has since pardon
ed two trusty convicts for their "loy-
atty and devotion to duty" in con-

reported the presence OF mysterious
automobiles near the back wall of the
prison the night before the escape.
The trusty was on duty at a watch
tower and sent word by the night yard
man to have Little Rock police noti-
fled by telephone. Before police ar
rived the two automobiles had driven
hastily away just as AZ small factory
building near the prison burst into
flames. Officials advanced the theory
that the building was burned as a sig,
nal to the prisoners that the guns had
been thrown over the walls. Sullivan
later denied this. The other trusty
attempted TO prevent Connell from
taking the warden's automobile by
telling him the batteries were out OF
