FIVE FLEE INDIANA
PRISON HOSPITAL

Bank Banditry-Route
a Mystery.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, July 28.-
Five convicts, four of them convicted
Of bank banditry, escaped from the
hospital of the Indiana State Prison
here early today.
The manner in which the men ef-
fected their escape was a mystery.
The convicts involved in the break
were:
John Burnett, 81, sentenced from
Vermillion County to 10 years i'm
prisonment for burglary.
Kenneth Rogers, %, sentenced from
vanderburgh County for robbery to
10 years Imprisonment.
William G. Jay, 43, sentenced to 90
years from Allen County for robbery.
Louis Grail, 19, sentenced to is
years imprisonment from Lake
County for robbery.
Marion OFlaherty, 25, sentenced to
20 years from Marion County for rob-
berry.
1t is believed the escaped convicts
placed dummies in the hospital beds,
which were unnoticed by the guards
as they made their rounds.
A door to the basement of the hos
pital was found locked. but skeleton
key was found on the outside. The
door, of wood construction, leads to
other doors beyond it which are made
Of iron.
Door Found Unlocked
The escaped men went TO the hos
pital basement, authorities believe,
and found the door unlocked between
it and an addition to the hospital,
now under construction. w. F. Mezel,
a guard, said the door had been
locked when he made his round OF
inspection at pm.
It is believed the men entered the
prison yard and, using rope, climbed
the bars of the prison windows to the
roof. Following the roof OF the dor
mitory the men came to adminiStra-
ton building, near the south wall Of
as to the manner in which the fleeing
men descended the prison walls. No
ropes, ladders or other devices which
might have aided them, were found.
Two Worked in Hospital
Jay and Grail had been working
in the prison hospital. The other
three men were patients there.
DR.. P. H. Weeks. prison physician,
ordered the release of Burnett yester-
day afternoon. Burnett complained
that he stin felt III and asked to be
allowed to stay in the hospital. His
request was refused and he was taken
to his cell where he again complained
to guards. Feigning illness, during
which he spat blood from his mouth,
he so impressed guards that he again
was removed to the hospital, 1t is
believed Burnett cut himself and
sucked the blood from the wound TO
convince the guards.

VIENNA, July 2s.--The spirit Of the
assassinated chancellor, Engelbert
Dollfuss, was invoked today by Acting
Chancellor Ernst Won Starhemberg to
plead before the throne of God for
Austria's independence, as thousands
lined up before the Vienna city hall to
pay their last honor to the martyred
chancellor.
Other hundreds Of thousands lined
the streets through which his body was
carried. Millions Of persons in every

broadcast of the funeral exercises.
The tall Won Starhemberg, at the
casket of his predecessor, said:

before the throne Of God, the all
highest"
Crepe and Color.
A riot of color, which except for
the abundant black crepe in evidence
everywhere, almost belied the sorrow
of the Austrian nation and made the
picturesque square before the city hall
seem almost as though it were
adorned for joyous occasion.
Candlelight around the catafalque,
the bright white-red cloth in which
the cof11n was wrapped, the natty blue
uniforms of the members of the old
imperial army, the gay blush gray
of the Heimwehr men, the gold dress
uniforms of the diplomats-among
whom George S. Messersmith, United
States Minister. in his plain cutaway
looked conspicuously democratic-the
field gray of the regular army and
the purple and gold robes of the
clergy all presented a picture. In the
midst of it was the gently sobbing
and deSolate Frau Alwine DollfuSs,
clinging to the arm of Won STAR
