Guards al State Prison
Kidnapped, 6Convicts
Shot in Battle
Tennessee Fueitives
Seriously Hurt, os

By tie Associated Press.

oN tLe hsSOClbteQ
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 10
Six desperate convicts who escaped
from the State Penitentiary to-
day after tying up three guards
and taking two others along as
hostages in a prison truck were re-
captured an hour later after all had
been seriously wounded.
The two officials taken with the
prisoners salso were wounded in a
gun battle with State, county and
city officers in the heart of Nash
vile, and one of the guards left
tied at the prison was found to be
suffering from serious stab wounds.
M. A. Warren, assistant chief of
the State highway patrol, said about
20 officers discoverd the prison truck
about a mile from the penitentiary
and opened fire when the convicts
kept going.
Felons Shoot 1t Out.
I'VE shot it out with them" he
said. "and they stopped only when
We shot them all down. I think
their guns were emptied by that
time"
Deputy Warden c. c. Woods and
his assistant, Capt. H. Sampson,
were the officials wounded when the
prisoners holding them were shot,
They were taken to the prison hos
pital, where the seriousness of their
condition was not Immediately de-
termined.
The stab wounds Of Guard Strick-
land were reported as serious.
Guards Dick Smith and Tolley, also
tied up, we're not injured.
Trusty Returns to Walls,
A seventh prisoner, Bill MAYO, a
trusty and driver of the truck cap
tured by those escaping, was forced
to accompany the six beyond the
prison walls. Mayo. serving a mur-
der sentence. returned to the prison
after his captors had released him.
All six prisoners were loaded into
the prison truck and returned to
the penitentiary hospital. All were
bloody and most had been peppered
with buckshot in addition to pistol
and machine gun bullets. The truck
was backed up to the hospital en-
trance. where the prisoners were
thrown bodily to the ground and
then carried into the building.
The prison hospital reported
Dewey Pinkey, alias Pankey, serv-
ing q larceny sentence, and Mil
lard Edwards, serving a robbery
sentence, probably would die. Both
had been shot numerous times.
Others Expected to Die.
Other prisoners involved, none
believed fatally wounded, were:
Lonnie Taylor, serving a 80-year
murder sentence and Rufus Guy,
serving a 99-year murder sentence,
both of whom had been involved in
former break.
Horace Woodruff, serving a life
sentence for murder in Davidson
County.
Milton Harley. serving a robbery
sentence from Shelby County.
After overpowering the guards
and taking their weapons the pris-
oners started out of the yard in
the appropriated truck. When the
guard on the outer gate attempted
to stop them they threatened to
kill Woods and Sampson and were
allowed to 60 through. A general
alarm Immediately was sounded,
putting State and city officers as
well as prison guards on their trail.
Excitement spread through the
city In the wake of the screaming
sirens Of the police cars.

his reelection majority mounted to
new high of 1872 900, surprising the
mark President Roosevelt set when
he carried the State by $4,000 in
1896.
O'COnOr Lead Grows.
At the same time the majority by
which Herbert R. O'Conor won the
governorship from Republican Gov.
Nice had climbed to $4,000, with the
possibility it might equal the high
point of 66,775 majority reached by
the late Gov. Ritchie in one of his
campaigns.
The apparent victory of Mr.. Byron
means the Democrats retain solid
delegation of six members in the
House. Mr.. Byron's strength in
Montgomery County, where he is
credited with a majority of 5,65l,
was an important factor in giving
him a safe margin. He also had
majorities of 3400 in Washington
County and 1890 in Frederick. Mr..
Stewart, on the other hand, had
majorities of 1915 in Allegany and
1867 in Garrett.
Tydings Boom Starts.
The Tydings s-for-President move
was launched by the Associated
Democratic Clubs of Baltimore, with
plans under consideration to form
clubs in other parts of the State.
The New Deal drew national at
tention to the Maryland senatorial
race by opposing Mr.. Tydings in the
primary, as part of the unsuccessful
purge effort.
Mr.. OConor had been expected
to carry Baltimore by a good mar
gin, but the extent of his strength
in the counties, and particularly on
the Eastern Shore, surprised many
of his supporters.
They recalled today, however, that
IN running for other Offices over
15-year period the handsome, studi-
Gus attorney general won successive
elections by increasing majorities.
While his vote for the governor
ship will not reach the 100000 ma
jority by which he was elected head
of the State Law Department in 1884,
his present lead over Gov. Nice sur
passes the expectations of his close
associates in the recent campaign.
But while the voters were placing
Mr. O'Conor in the Governor man.
sion at Annapolis by these decisive
figures, they appear to have rejected
the graduated income tax the Demo-
cratic nominee advocated to meet
the States financial requirements.
Although returns are not complete,
the vote against the income tax
constitutional amendment stands at
54.682 to 43, 3,449.
Elkton Ponders Future.
In Elkton, noted for years as
Marylands Gretna Green, the chief
point of discussion today was what
effect the new marriage license law
will have on the towns future. In
the referendum the vote to approve
the law, which is destined to end
Elkton's position as an elopement
center, is 88,764 to 29,134, with about
500 precincts still out.
With returns nearing completion
the figures for the governorship
were: Mr.. O'Conor, 235, AS; Gov.
Nice, 22l ,098.
Mr.. OConor had a majority of
2,341 in Baltimore County, whicn
spreads over a wide area north
and east of the city. He was leading
also in the following counties: Anne
Arundel, Caroline, Cecil, Howard,
Montgomery, Prince Georges, ST.
Marys, Calvert, Queen Anne, Talbot
Wicomico, Kent, Worcester, Carroll,
Frederick and Washington.
Gov. Nice is expected to carry
on the final returns Dorchester,
Somerset, Charles, Hartford, Allie
gany and Garrett Counties.
