feet Of the outer wall Of the prison.
The tunnel extended under the prison
yard and probably would have been

that an exodus of many convicts had
been planned.
About ton of dirt had been excavat-
ed by Olstein and Watson. who. it is
estimated, had been at work on the tun-
mel more than a month with implements
stolen from the stone pile in the pri-
son yard. Disposal Of the dirt was ac-
companied BY packing il in small bags
and gradually dumping il down a drain
pipe in their cell Stone encountered
in the tunnel was broken into small
pieces. concealed by the convicts on
their persons and thrown on the dirt
pile in the yard.
For light in their underground work,
the prisoners utilized ten tooth-pow-
der can from which the top had been
removed and pieces Of rag twisted in
the shape Of wick. similar to a min
ers lamp. As fuel they used oil stolen
from the machine shop.
The tunnel consisted Of drop of six
teen feet below the cell floor and ex-
tended under the driveway in the di-
rcction of Fairmount Avenue. Floor
boards in the corner OF the cell had
been cut with jig saw blades.
