The transfer of Captain Kilpatriek te this prison, which is a solitary-celled lockup where “third degree” methods are used by the committee to wring confes: sions from inmates, was due, according to | the belief expressed in Riga, to the escape from another prison camp of Captain Merion Cooper, an American, who was a member of the Polish Kosciusko aerial squadron. ; Captain Cooper had no assistance what- soever in making his escape.
