three prisoners, among the most

criminals in the jail, congregated III
q single cell, where for several hours
they worked at severing bars Of the
cell. They used saws which either
had been smuggled into the Jail by
friends of the prisoners, or had been
left behind by workmen. The pris-

jail corridor toward the entrance
to the entrance OF the run-arOund
where they knew the jailer would

Hearing a noise, Jailer Ben CaId-

TEXAS STORMS
INJURE SEVEN
Wichita Falls-Vernon Area
Hit Hardest; Honeymoon
ers Seriously Hurt

DALLAS. Teaxs, May 18.-tFD-
Disrupted telephone communication
today delayed accurate accounting
Of storm damage in northwest Texas
last night in which seven persons
were injured.
The Wichita Falls-Vernon area
was hardest hit. Reports today said
Mr.. and Mrs. Merell Wilkerson, mar
ried last Sunday, had been seriously
hurt when a twister. wrecked their
home 30 miles south OF Vernon
where they were spending their
honeymoon. The wind carried the
occupants and the wreckage OF their
house about 100 yards. A heavy rain
accompanied the wind.
Fears of possible further damage
we're expressed at Wichita Falls.
Skies remained overcast and warn
ing had been received that flood
waters were sweeping down the Red
River. A watchman was posted at
the railway bridge as precaution-
ary measure.
AT least three persons were hurt
at Dundee, heaviest suffered from
the storm. Two were injured nc
Clara. None Of these was believed
to- have been seriously injured.
The interruption to telegraph and
power service was short, but tele-
phone communication to many
towns had not been restored today.
Dundee remained isolated.
A message from Byers said that
half the buildings In the town were
damaged" and that the loss would
approximate $4,000. No estimate OF
loss in other communities was made.
Scores OF derricks in northwest OIL
fields toppled in the wind.

SOUGHT PRISON
Gangster Goes to Jail With
Smile and No Indication
Of Appeal

PHILADELPHIA, May 1s-tPl-
"Scarface Az Capone, sentenced
yesterday to one year in Jail for
carrying a concealed deadly weapon,
was believed In some quarters today
to have sought jail as an asylum
from the bullets Of rival gangsters.
At the brief hearing at which he
pleaded guilty it was intimated he
had courted arrest and the loaded
revolver he turned over to police
was carried for that express purpose.
The Philadelphia Record said to-
day his action followed receipt Of
word at Atlantic City. where he had
asked hostile Chicago gang leaders
to meet him for q peace pact, that
not only would they refuse to meet
him but he would be put on the
SPOT" and killed at the first oppor-
tunity.
Capone went to jail with a smile
on his lips and no mention was
made of an appeal from the SEN
tence, the maximum jail term for
the offense.
He declared the rumor that the
so-called peace pact in Atlantic City
had fallen through was not true.
.rThat suggestion Is absolutely
wrong" ne said. I'm here because
I'm here, although I do feel secure
for the first time in q long, long
while"
Il have tried hard to stop all tn
killing and gang rivalry" he said
THAT was my purpose in going to
Atlantic City. 1t was q peace con-
ference; I engineered 1t. Some Of

Chicago were there.
