day captured two Of the eight con-
victs who broke out of Western
State Penitentiary little more than
"a hours earlier.
Caught were Cormack F. Nc

was fired by police. A companion
Of the fugitive escaped. He is
believed to be another escaped

Two other convicts failed to
get outside the prison walls. One
surrendered meekly in front of
the prison gates. A tenth was
caught on the prison roof.
McNelis and Mastermonica, like
the convicts still at large, were
armed with cell made knives
when they overpowered four
guards and a deputy warden,
sawed a hole in the prison roof
and let themselves down to the
ground on a 70-foot-long rope.
They made the rope from towels
and sheets.
