Washington police are scour-

Of apprehending five prisoners
who calmly walked away from

Guards were posted on all roads
leading into the Capital from the
direction OF the workhouse and
many ears were stopped for exam

the men had stolen car and had
vanished.
Here are the i've escaped pris-
oriers. none OF whom had been
convicted Of serious charges:

Not Seen BY Guards
Although guards surround the
workhouse, the five men were not
seen making their getaway. Indeed,
the sleeping quarters occupied by the
quintet were not closely guarded.
1T was unnecessary to smash any
door or break any bars to bring
liberty. All the men had to do was
to raise the window and climb out.
This they did without disturbing
anybody.
Their escape was not learned
until a couple OF hours later when
the alarm was sounded.
In investigating the escape 1t
was found that the men had taken
a motor car belonging to one of
the guards, and, according to Julian
A.. Schoen, assistant superintendent,
they are believed to have put many
miles between them and the work
house by daylight.
Haunts Are Watched
Believing that the men had
headed for washington. Assistant
superintendent Schoen telephoned
pOIlcG nSdu1udILSLS hCtC' oShAiS
that lookout be kept for the
missing prisoners. At once the
various precincts were notified and
it was thought that they would be
picked up before they had enjoyed
their liberty many hours.
The haunts usually visited by the
men were being watched closely,
police believing they would want
to be with friends at this holiday
season.
The workhouse authorities re-
fused to become excited about the
escape.
"Oh. they'll come back" said
Assistant Superintendent Schoen.
"They probably wanted to get
out for a little Christmas cele-
brating. But they'll be back, all
right. all right.
"They didn't have TO work very
hard to get away, just open a
window, climb out and start Wen
soon have them rounded up and
back on their old jobs"
