Lamblike he marched before me to the Fort and was quickly locked into that silent room. I rushed back to the office and found the bookkeeper still unconscious, and was greatly relieved to discover that his heart was still beating. It was a most distasteful task to bind | his hands behind him with his uwni suspenders and to gag him with his | coat sleeves. | When I stepped out of that office | and locked the door behind me, 1 was | in complete charge of that State prison, whereof, a moment later, the gates &tood ===¢ open. All I had to do to b2 free was to walk out of the prison, proceed to the prison garage and, in the warden's own car, depart in peace— obviously a warden going about his lawful occasions in the prison car. But even one additional hour before the news was broadcast might make a difference between successful escape and a burst for freedom inglorious and ineffective. ‘Thus thinking, I hurried across to the “Administration block” and set about smashing the telephones and telegraphic instruments and cutting every wire that entered the Adminis- tration Building. This work I bethought me that, ere borrowing his car, I might put the warden where he would do least harin for the longest time. If I made off at once, leaving him peacefully slumbering, he would arise and stroll over to the prison at about 9 o'clock—and the hunt would be up. If, however, I put him “under re- straint,” not only would the discovery be ned, but when it did arrive the | absence of the warden would inevitably | increase the confusion. | Straight from the “Administration | block” I hurried, passed through the | wide-open gateways and walked boldly | up to the front docr of the lonely | house, close by, where, alone with his | elderly Irish housekeeper, dwelt Warden | O'Shaughnessy. | How to get into the house? I had not stopped to think of the bolted deors, nor of fastened windows. How was I to place the warden under ar- rest if I couldn't get to him? | Another bright thought.
