 Clark said early Friday morning three convicts left the party in an automobile. Clark, who was slightly Ill, decided to walk with Neal Together they roamed through fields trying to get to q city, Clark said.
 At Hobart. Noal paid for a meal for both, Clark related. Neal also paid their interurban fare to Gary Hers they said goodbye and part. cd. Clark started for Hammond wearing Neals overcoat. Neal went to police headquarters.
 Police were unable to explain Neal's failure to bring Clark to headauartcrs. Captain Matt Leach of the state police said he would questoin Neal to-day on his failure to hold Clark.
 Neal had Just delivered a prls- oner 10 the penitentiary at Michi- gan City when the 10 convicts came charging out the main gate. firing revolvers. He was kidnapped and taken along.
