Wilt had had no medical treatment
since the Sunday prior to his escape,
he stated. The fugitive was injured
in making his getaway from the insti,
tuition. Wilt told officers he fell So
feet from a second floor bathroom
at the hospital. He said he had tied
two sheets and bed spread together,
fastened them to a radiator and then
started his descent to freedom.
Hardly had he started down. he
said, when one of the sheets began to
tear. He tried to make his way back
to the window, but because of his in
jured hand was unable to do so, the
window screen having dropped back
to place. Accordingly Wilt said he
dropped to an areaway which runs
along the basement dispensary ana
injured his back. He told officers he
lost consciousness following the fail

his way to Ridgeley, where he got

that three homes of Wits friends and
relatives were "raided" without sue

Reinforcements Of a nature un-
specified have arrived within the last
few days at Singapore to encourage
the defenders. They need all cncou-
agement they can get, for the great
trial is at hand.
If the British had plenty Of var
planes one would say they might
hold out Indefinitely, but unless air
reinforcements arrive the japanese
may be able to blast THEN way
ashore. There is to my mind another
grave danger for the defenders, and
that lies in the open reservoirs OF
rain-water upon which three-quarters
Of a million people must depend The
amount Of water undoubtedly is suf-
ficient for Il long siege but there is
a possibility Of the Japa poisoning it
from the air.
