West Virginia Fugitive
Held in Fairfax Jail
Picks Lock and FIees

A convict, who in 1949 escaped
from a West Virginia peniten-
tiary. was at large again today
after breaking out of Fairfax
County Jail.
James Wayman Tyree, 80, got
out Of the Fairfax jail yesterday
morning after apparently picking
the lock of his cell door and
walking through two unlocked Jail
doors, according to Sheriff John E.
Taylor.
Tyree was being held in the
Fairfax jail for West Virginia
authorities, who said he escaped
from the State penitentiary at
Moundsville on June 7. 1949. Fair
fax police picked Tyree up Sep
tember 8 on charge of possessing
stolen property and subsequently
they reported he was West Vir-
ginia fugitive.
Sheriff Taylor said Jailer Henry
Ayers discovered Tyree missing a
few minutes after Z am. Tyree
had been in the cell when it was
checked about 20 minutes earlier.
A small piece of metal found
inside Typee's cell might have
been used to pick the lock, the
sheriff said. A door leading into
the cell block had been unlocked
to permit the hourly check of
prisoners. and the side door of
the jail leading outside was un-
locked because breakfast was be-
ing carried in at that time.
Sheriff Taylor said he planned
to make a full investigation of
circumstances surrounding Ty-
ree'S escape. New Fairfax jail
facilities are included in plans for
the county courthouse addition,

might well feel for the Americans
in Korea. Dominating the group
is one of those tough, cynical,
heart-of-gold sergeants who, if
the movies are right, make
it superf1uous to pay Gen. Bradley
and all those second lieutenants.
The only reason this character
has not won the war by the time
"Steel Helmet" opens is that they
did not put him in charge of
enough troops.
AS the film opens, this doughty
soldier is the sole survivor of an
ambushed group but in working
his way back to the lines, he hooks
up with a lost patrol sent ahead
to set up an advance observation
post. When he finds the group
being led by a dewey-eyed second
lieutenant, the sergeant takes over
in the fashion Of old sergeants

The OP is set up in a Buddhist

chance to study the troops under
