Convict Digs Way Out
OF Jail With Spoon
Handle

LANCASTER, Aug. 19-For
weeks Martin Tabor, serving
time in the county Jail for, rob-
bing a local store, picked and
pried patiently at his cell wall
with the handle of q spoon.
Early yesterday morning he
pried away the last bit Of stone
and cement holding the bars in
the window Of the cell. Wrench-
ing them from their sockets,
Tabor, who weighs about 10
pounds, climbed through an
opening barely more than five
inches wide and two and one
half feet long, dropped to the
prison yard, climbed the stone
wall encircling the yard, and
escaped.
His escape was branded as
the most daring in the history
of the local jail. He risked his
life several times to gain free
dom.1 After forcing his body
through the small window,
Tabor was forced to drop about
ten feet over a sloping cement
wall lined with iron pickets.
Residents in the vicinity of
the prison saw Tabor drop to
the prison yard. They notified
city police, who in turn notified
prison. authorities, and the es-
cape was verified.
