No recommendations are made | in the report as to methods of preventing | further escapes in a similar manner, but "lhe department commander will probably | attend to this feature of the case him- | selt. Ralph Williams went free on a forged order of release early in September. The other four prisoners effected their escape simultaneously a month later by the same | means. It was thought at first that the felons were alded by conspirators on the outgide of the prison walls, but Major Morrow is inclined to think from the evi- dence presented during the recent inves- tigation that the whole work was done at Alcatraz. Moore and White had access to the adjutant general's office and to the printing plant on the island. Major Morrow went into the printing office and made an exact copy of the fraudulent pardons. He thinks that the only ald which might have been given the prisoners must have come from Mes- senger Foster, who carrled mall bet®een Alcatraz and headquarters, and who de- serted as soon e made known. The investigating officer does not see how there could have been any connec- tion between the escape of Williams and the subsequent release of the other four felons. He thinks it might have been pos- sible that White and Moore heard how their former fri won his way to fre dom and were thus inspired to make a similar attempt. The orders on which White, Moore, Stokes and Darling were released are not at all like the one used | by Will nor was the same method ams, followed in placing the documents in the regular military channels. Colonel Andrews received an order from the War Depa ent yesterday directing at all orders of release must bear th signatures of the Secretary of War and of the acting Secretary of War, besides those of local officers. The War Depart- ment seal must also be affixed to all such documents. It is thought that this wi pr e of the escapes has been recap- although officers in every part of the country are on the lookout for them, It is known that Willlams was at Val- lejo rec he fled before the au- thorities could lay hands on him. | ———— s | “Drummer Evangelist” Lecture. | Rev.
