PRISON and are believed TO have es-
capped about 4 o'clock, in broad day
light.
Outside Aid Seen
To reach patch of nearby woods,
through which they are thought to
have gone, is was necessary to go
through an open field, in full sight
of guard tower on top of the wal
about 100 yards away. Officials were
at a loss to account for the success
of the escape under these conditions
and expressed the opinion that sew
eral notorious convicts who were re-
leased several days ago probably of
fered outside assistance.
Considera BILE skill had evidently
been used in digging the tunnel, the
construction of which, prison off,
cials said, probably occupied about
only occasional opportunities to
work at it.
The floor of Haynes tent was of
wood and was raised about two feet
from the ground. The space between
the floor and ground had been hid
den from view by flower boxes, in
which growing plants had been
placed by the prisoners. These
formed an effective shield for the
digging operations.
Trap Door in Tent
A trap-door had been cut in thu
wooden floor of Haynes tent. and
from this point the tunnel was dug
straight down for about eight feet,
the sides being boarded up" with
wooden braces to prevent a cave-in.
Steps, similar to those sometimes
found in wells, were cut in the sides
of this hole to facilitate entrance
ard exit
From The bottom of this hole the
the tunnel was dug straight towards
the big wall. fifty feet away. When
it reached the wall, however, it
having evidently underestimate the
depth of the big barrier. and it was
necessary to dig straight down for
several more feet and then to tunnel
underneath tie wall and up on the
outside.
in the tunel, which was barely
large enough to admit the passage
of human body wooden cradle
arrangement was found, with hooks
on each end. This is thought to have
been used TO convey the dirt taken
out of the tunel to the mouth of the
shaft underneath Haynes tent. A
short shovel also was found in the
hole and a small pick, very similar
to trowel, was thought to have
been used to loosen the dirt.
Prison officials were at a loss to
explain the method used by the con-
victs in taking the large Quantities
Of loose dirt away from the shaft.

foreign news gave the wheat market

undertone, and values took an up

active buyers at the start and the
market responded well. Initial fig
ures. which ranged from as to IA
higher, with September 1,215s to 1.22
and December 1862 to 1.27. were
followed by additional gains all
around.
Corn and oats followed wheat up
grade, the former being mainly in
f1uenced by the continued run of un-
favorable crop reports regarding the
corn growth. After starting l to SA
up. with December 1.13 TO 1.1324 the
market sagged a trifie and then ad-

NEW YORK. August 2S.-The cot
ton market opened steady at a decline
of three points to an advance of six
points. and soon showed net gains of
20 to q points on the active months,
October selling at 24.67 and Decem-
ber at 24.20. Covering was stimu-
lated by relatively steady cables and
a bullish private crop report.
The effect of these features was
offset partially by private reports of
rain in Texas, and another private
report appeared later making the
condition 81 and the indicated yield
13,320,000 bales. These figures ap-
parently were nearly in line with ex-
pectations, and fluctuations after the
early advance were irregular.
