tunnel which had been dug to
within Is feet of an outside prison
wall.
The tunnel. about IL feet down
and so feet long, was discovered
leading from convict's cell. II
was about feet in diameter.
Prison officials said several con.
victs were involved in the escape
attempt. The only one identified
was Robert Green, 80, in whose
cell the tunnel originated. He has
been moved to a segregation cell
Officials said the digging had
been going on at least a month
Dirt was flushed down a toilet
which had been pluggd up in re-
cent weeks. This led prison au-
thorities to believe a tunnel was
being dug. and they began a
search for it.
The convicts hacked out an
3 by IL inch hole in the concrete
cell floor and started digging. The
hole was covered with a piece of
gray-painted plywood.
Among things found in the tun-
mel were wooden model of a
pistol, a waterpump. electric fan

ously lowered. Thus. your brain and nerv-
Gus system may suffer from insufficient
