FELONS
IN VIRGINIA
H|DEOUT
Two Robbers, 3 SIayers Fell
Guard in Getaway; Steal
Auto, Abandon 1t

Richmond, Va.-FOur Of the
five cOnvicts who escaped early
today from the Virginia State
Penitentiary were captured
shortly after noon in the woods
just beyond the State Prison
Farm in GOOchland county, rs
miles north of here. Wexford
Hayden, cOlored, serving life for
murder, is the only one still at
large.
Five desperate criminals, known
to be armed, were being sought in
the District this afternoon follow
ing a spectacular jailbreak from
the Virginia State Penitentiary in
Richmond in which they kidnapped
a matron and used her for
shield to prevent guards from fir
ing on them.
Three of the men are murder
ers, while the other two are bank
robbers, who used a machine gun
in robbing a Lee county bank sew
eral months ago.
First Auto Found
The men stole an automobile
near the prison and headed for
Washington. This car was later
found abandoned on the highway
80 miles north, and authorities be-
lieve they stole a second machine
to throw off pursuit.
The men overpoWered q guard
while cleaning up in the women's
ward of the prison, took his keys
and gun, then forced the matron
to accompany them until they
were safe in the machine.
Guards were unable to fire on
the men for fear hitting the
woman.
The men who escaped were Will
liam Lynn and Edward Veal, each
serving As years for bank robbery,
and three colored murderers, Clai-
borne Layne and Wexford Hayden,
serving life. and Paul Austin, serv-
ing 81 years.
All Roads Guarded
The spectacular jailbreak was
made at $50 this morning, when
the five men, directed by Guard
J. w. Coffey, went to the Women's
quarters to clean up.
Two of the men suddenly
turned on the guard and seized
him, while another secured his
pistol and keys. They then seized
the matron, Mrs. Virginia Spen-
GER, unlocked the door and STEP
ped out into the street, using her
for shield.
AS they sped away an alarm
was sounded, and all roads were
guarded by State and county pc.
lice.
Shortly after the break the
car with the escaped convicts
sped by the State prison farm.
Guards there opened fire on
the machine.
May Have Helpers
A short distance from the farm
the car was found abandoned,
and posse was organized and
started to beat the woods nearby,
but found no trace of the men.
1t is believed that the men
stole another car or that accom-
plices provided another machine.
Washington police were notified
of the break and placed guards
at all bridges.

IN this county, a series of meet
inga has been arranged through
the cooperation of Mr.. Tootell and
our county commissioners.
These meetings will deal prln-
eipally with the Corn-Hog program
but a portion of each meeting will
be devoted to clearing up any mis-.
understandings relative to the
Wheat Allotment Program.
Those who are interested IN com
bining two or more Wheat Allot-
ment Units into eae should by al.
means attend one of thebs meet
ingsi the forepart of each will be
given over TO the Wheat Program
and the balance If the meeting Ia
