BRIBERY SAID
TO FIGURE IN
PRISON BREAK
Guards at Joliet Jail Held
For Quizzing by the
Authorities,
BY BERT M. DENBY
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, March l4.-The love
affair between a pretty Mexican
girl and prisoner, condemned to
die, coupled with tales of alleged
bribery, occupied the attention Of
authorities of two counties today in
an attempt to solve the escape of
three prisoners from the Will coun-
~ Jail at Joliet Saturday.
Two Of the escapers were captur
ed, while a third, Bernardo Roa, is
still at liberty.
a series of notes, half hearted
confession, and vague rumors have
resulted in a series of arrests IL
connection with the escape. The
majority of the notes were those
written by Roa--highly educated
Mexican - to pretty Juanito Gal
lardo, his sweetheart. In these notes
Bernardo told of plans to escape
and besought the girl to purchase
saws and slip them into the viii
county Jail.
The girl denies having obtained
the saws.
Plot Is Foiled
The plot, according to police, Gov.
cred the escape of six men from the
jail. The six were Robert Torrez,
Bernardo Roa, Gregorio Rizzo, Wal
ter Stalesky, Charles Duschowski
and Charles Shader. The six were
awaiting execution for the murder
of Deputy Warden Peter Klein at
the state prison at Joliet.
The three Mexicans, however,
were the only ones able to leave the
prison. They passed guns to the
three others but posse prevented
Stalesky, Duschowski and Shader
from leaving the Jail.
Back of the investigation there
is the hint that $500 was spent to
ease the escape. Duschowski made
the statement that this money was
spent and Torrez is said to have
made confession telling of brib
cry.
Police, in addition to holding
three guards at the Joliet Jail, have
taken Miss Gallardo, Miss Atalna
Elavalde, Miss Elavalde's father,
Francisco Ayala, and Eloisa Avala
into custody.

They come so full of confidence, ambi.
