Cut Turnkey's Bonds Sliger, it iy said, rolled himself across the cell floor into a posi. tion beside the latter, Then, al- though his hands were bound tight enough to sear the wrists, he man- aged in some way to reach into one of the turnkey's pockets and get the latter's knife, He opened the knife and cut the cord around Palmer' wrists; Palmer then was able to free himself! and Sliger, "We rewarded Sliger today," sald Governor Oates, 'with the best meal we could get for him and we are going to try and have him let out without serving the rest of his term," All four fugitives were serving terms for fraud, O'Donnell and Kennedy, both of whom are sailors from Nova Scotia, were in for 30 days each, while the others who are now helieved to be in the Mab- erly swamp were doing 45 days each, The terms of the first pair would have served on July 28, The others would have been free on July 20, REPORTED LANDING OF SPANISH FLIER PROVES UNFOUNDED Fliers Have Not Yet Landed at the Azores London, June 24~The whereabouts of the airplane in which four Spanish fliers set out on Friday from Carte agena, Spain, for Ner York was a mystery here last night, The Madrid bureau of Reiuters last night said that the official report Sat- urday night of the landing of the Spanish transatlantic plane at San Miguel has proved unfounded, A French report was received at Madrid denying the plane had ever arrived at San Miguel, No such official or semi-official denial had reached Spain so far as Reuters could ascertain, The Areo club, which is usually completely informed on such events as transatlantic flights, had received nothing since Saturday.
