The convicts were employed in do- ing some re-inforced concrete work fn the new boiler building which is located 'about twenty yards from the stable which they set fire. There were a number of scantlings near the stable, and they were to be used in connection with the new boiler room. The work of building the ladder was done so quickly that the convicts 'only used one nail in each of the scantlings to join them to- gether. The scantlings were fifteen féet long. Scraps of rope and small pieces of wood were used to make the steps on the ladder. A short plece of rope was used on the top rung, so the first convict who went up the ladder could hold it until the rest of the men got on. It is thought that senb.convict held the ladder at the bottom until ome man got to the top and then there was no troub- le getting over the. wall. . The height of the wall is thirty feet and the men jumped to the soft ground with- out being hurt. Firing the Stable. The stable, which was set on fire, was large enough to accommodate about twenty horses. It is thought that there was about three or four tons of hay or straw in the barn at the time. The hay was 'set ablaze and the dense smoke was carried over the top of the wall and it was almost impossible to the guards lo- cated in the sentry boxes at the 'southeast and northeast corners 'of the walls to see the men until they Jumped to the ground. ; The guard on the southeast end was about 180 feet from the men when he fired, and the man on the northeast tower would be over 200 feet. The guard who was doing duty on the wharf was alarmed by the frir- ing from the tower, and he fired at @ distance of abut two hundred yards. He was afraid to raise the sights of his rifle for any greater distance -as some citizens passing along King street might be killed by the bullets. It may not be generally known but {he system of the penitentiary does not allow all short term men to work together or all long term men sentenced for the same offence to be close together. All convicts, regardless of the length of service, are put in gangs. It has been sug- gested that men of the type of Me- Mullen and Slade should be kept in close quarters and make them real- that a prison term is very sev- ere. ee -- Guard Forsythe Shot McMullen. McMullen when captured, stated that the bullet which hit him was fired by the rifle which was in the '{hands of Guard AHen Forsythe, as the three convicts were turning the corner of King and Pembroke streets. McMullen said that his fingers gave him a great deal of pain but he stayed with the auto- mobile until he arrived at Arthur Kemp's farm; five miles from the city. The point: where the con- victs left the stolen automobile is exactly five miles from the Whig office, and is marked with a Brit- ish Whig road marker sign. The Surprise Element. _. The escape of the prisoners from the penitentiary on Monday came as a great surprise, although the man- ner in which it was executed indic- ated clearly that the daring men who. participated had carefully and deliberately planned every move. They chose their own time, too, for putting it into effect and it was the surprise element that enabled them to catch their guards napping and succeed In the first daeh for liberty. There are some questions that will have to be answered before the auth can be satisfied that there wilP not be a repetition of the escape soon again. How can five men working in a gang in the boiler- house leave their work unobserved to accumulate material and build a ladder twenty feet or more \ Where were the guards in charge of the work these men were supposd 10 be assigned to? There is a Yegulation which says that no two or more prisoners shall 1] g be permitted to be out of the sight hearing of a guard, but Me- Slade, Bryans, Simpson and all longterm i : Kemp's field some parties stole ail the tools out of the car. It may be that. the convicts took 'the tools thinking that they might be useful {to them. When the office staff at the pris- ion heard of the escape, they immed- | lately got ammunition and formed a guard outside the east wall of the | prison. ak - fon -- Saw One of Convicts. One of the four convicts was seen jis the Kemp woods early Tuesday | morning, according to a citizen who | watched the guards searching for | the fugitives. This has confirmed the belief of the prison officials and { police that the four men are stili in hiding within a few huadred rods of the abandoned car, and' the cor- don of searchers is gradually cutting down the space in which the men must be secreted. The reports that the convicts es- caped through the guards lines dur- ing Monday night have been dis- counted by those in authority, and every available point where they might jump on a freight train is carefully. watched. The search wiil be continued diiigently until the four men are rounded up and safely land- ed in their cells. -- INCIDENTS OF THE DAY, R. J. Bushell left today to attend the Ottawa fair.
