were headed toward Baltimore.
Deputy Sheriff Ellwood Racine, son
OF the sheriff, said he heard 4 loud
noise IN the Jail when he was going
home about 2:l0 am. and entered the
building to investigate. The only
source of the noise, he said, was water
that was turned on full blast at all
the faucets.
Deputy sheriff Seth entered the jail
about o'clock and discovered the
heavy iron grated door from the pris-
oners' cell room to the jail yard had
been sawed open. Most OF the pris-
oners remaining, he said, did not know
Of its being open.
Two locks had been locked on the
outside OF the door, Seth said. The
staples holding the locks had been
sawed on. He said the prisoners ap-
parently had put their hands through
the crates and used 4 saw on thu
staples.
When he tried to react his version
OF the escape, he could hardly get hi,
hands through the grating He did
not know how the prisoners got the
saws.
The deputy said the fugitives made
an improvised rope from blankets and
must have boosted one Of their num-
Der to the top Of the 30-foot wall
with the rope. He believed this one
then helped the other six over the
wall.
The prisoners being held for action
OF the grand jury are kept in large
room in the jail. The doors of the
cells along the sides Of the room are
not locked, but large locks are used
on the doors to the room.

Farmer-Iabor party for whose ad-
vancement the conference was called
should be the American equivalent
Of the Peoples Front In France"
Thomas at that time disagreed over
any need for a popular front In this
country.
Thomas said he favored Socialist
Communist cooperation ION issues
i. on which q common agreement can
be reached" but opposed "a blanket
agreement for joint action or organic
union"
Alfred M. Bingham, editor of Com
mon Sense and executive secretary of
the Farmer-Labor political fedora
ton, urged the conference toward "a
real peoples movement not a
mere farmer-labor alliance for the
furtheranoe Of special immediate class
interests, but popular crusade, such

shadowed-a crusade to achieve an
