Feb. 3 - Tools used by prisoner allowed 10 build toy ships may have figured in tho escape of | three convicts from Wcthcrsticld 1 prison January 4, it Was learned over the weekend, Although two improvsed saws were discovered 1 after the trio escaped, officials at the 1 jail still believe that il steel saw was 1 finally used to cut the bar by Whilh
 the men gained their way 10 the , roof.
 The story Of the convict, man named Curtis, and his part. if he was involved in Inc escape. which ! indirectly resulted in the murder of a, Jacksonville city detective in Flor ida and for which Roland c. La. lone, Watson MOulthrope and Leo Landry are now indicted, begins about the middle of December. Curtis. a skilled mechanic, was | sentenced from New Haven. and be- cause of his demeanor in jail was entitled 10 privileges. Like many others he followed q hobby. in his case the hobby being the building of ship models Special tools were re- qurcd for this work, including saws and these were purchased by Curtis through the prison coInmssary with the Knowledge and permission of Chief Clerk Edward C. GcissIcr. pur- i chasing agent,
 ChisclS Also Allowed In addition to the saws Curtis was allowed to have chiscls, files and other steel tools. When the trio planned their escape q steel tool. similar to those used by the ship builder, was fashioned into an iIn- provlsed saw, This crude tool was later discarded by the trio
 Saws in prison arc more dan eerous than dynamite" Warden Charles $ Reed said Sunday. when interviewed by the press. He said nothing about tho Curtis case but insisted that the saw eventually used by the convicts in their escape had not been found.
 Asked whether any conyicts were making ship models since the escape of the three men, the warden an sWered in the negative.
 Efforts to ascertain whether the dismissal of two guards, Thomas F. Hickey and Frederick J. WhapIes had anything to do with the escape met with the reply that the guards were let go flor the good of the service"
 Hickey it is said. was in charge of the store room and issued nom regulation shoes which were worn by Lalonc, Mouthrope and Landry when they were captured in Florida. instead of the shoes regularly worn by convicts inside the prison.
