SIX CONVICTS
ESCAPEFROM
PRISON FARM
Confe d derates Make
Daring Raid; Prison
ers Escaped i'm Two
Automobiles

HOUSTON, July 2.-tP)-A guard
named Raider at the Ferguson state
farm was killed and six convicts were
helped 70 escape early Thursday
morning. Police have been asked to
watch for two automobiles in which
the men fled.
According TO the reports here. two
cars drove up to the prison farm
about 1915 this morning. The men
IN the car opened fire on Raider,
killing him instantly. The six con-
viets then fled with the men in the
cars. The escaped convicts are
George Dixon. Charles Pryor, Richard
Nayior, q. X. Holland. Robert Bar
nard and Alvin Ireland.
Pryor was serving a 3O-year SEN
tence for murder. He escaped May 8.
1923, and was recaptured May 27.
1928 lie escaped again July %.
1923. and was recaptured few dats
later.
Ireland was sentenced TO 20 years
for bank robbery in Archer county.
tie escaped December 20, 1925 and
was recaptured.
Naylor was given two years for
burglary and felony theft. He es-
capped November ~, 1925, and was
reeaptured a few days later.
Holland, sent up from Bexar and
Guadalupe counties To serve 25 years
for robbery with firearms and 49,
sault to murder escaped November
], 1925, and was recaptured a few
days later.
Dixon was sentenced from San
Antonio for 30tyears. safe robbery.
He escaped in April, 1921. but was
recaptured.
Execution Of the plot was daring
and ruthless. The moment the men
in the automobiles sighted the guard
they opened fire on him. Raired, rid
died with bulleas. fell dead. In
stantly they were upon him and
seized the keys to the barracks. With
drawn pistols they opened the doors
and called the names of six men
who stepped out from the ranks Of
their fellows and took their places
behind their liberators. The other
convicts. apparently dazed by the
swiftness Of the affair. made no
move. With no apparent haste the.
three men satisfied themselves the
men they had come for were account
ed for, locked the door on the re-
mainder Of the convicts who N mo-
ment later heard the automobiles
rush away in the darkness.
The story as il was telephoned TO
Houston failed TO indicate how the
alarm was given. Presumably, how
ever the shots had aroused other
guards who came too late 70 prevent
the escape.
