- that Cole and Roe reached the mainland without drowning after their break from the rock" in San Francisco Bay on a foggy afternoon in December, 1887.
 Calvin unhesitatingly identified pictures of Cole and Roe as his as- sailants. His identification cli- maxed week of rumors that the two fugitives were back in this neighborhood, the scene of their outlaw days before they were put in Alcatraz as desperate fellows.
 No Break Before, Since
 No man before or since them has broken from Alcatraz. For weeks after the break it had been ex- pected that sooner or later the bodies of these two would be washed ashore, because the waters between the drison island and the mainland seemed beyond the endurance ot any swimmer, and every conceivable safeguard has been taken against boats going near the prison.
 The Federal Bureau of InveStiga- ton assigned agents to hunG the two fugitives and never recalled them from the job, although until this week there had been no public knowledge of any evidence that they were alive, and it had seemed that the G-Men were hunting two des- peradoes who didn't exist.
 More than 60 state and city police and federal agents joined immedi- ately in the manhunt. Flying squads moved into criminals hang outs in the city and state troopers took up stations on all highways.
 Three Men In Party
 Calvin said three men were in the party which accosted him and ord cred him to drive them to a hill on the edge of the Osage County line, inside the city proper. He drove there and when they ordered him to
