The outlaws held up jailers and visitors at the county jail at 11 a. spear, Charging out from their cell room, they surrounded Drs. 4) W. B. Stanley and Guy M. Ford, A. C. Rosenfeldt, finger- print expert, and Jailers W. P. Riley and Dave Morgan and | Attorney Milo Loveless. The escaping prisoners, menacing ti , the men with their weapons, forced them into tank No. 2, H | from which they had escaped. i They locked the civilians and jailers in the tank and H dashed outside, where they stole Dr. Stanley’s auto and | sped away for the downtown district of the city. The men who took part in the sensational escape, all of whom are known as “desperate characters,” are: | | Floyd Richardson, Ed Watson, Joe Ward, Alvah Kil- ; bourne, E. H. Johnson and James Burns, alias Jim Cam- | bertino. Richardson was held in connection with the murder of Patrolman Litzie. Alvah Kilbourne was held for a bank robbery at Bothell, in which he was wounded. Johnson ‘and Burns were held as two of the bandits in the $42,000 4 Nanaimo bank robbery at Nanaimo, B. C. Ward is held : for the first Bothell bank robbery. Watson was serving « 90-day jail sentence for robbery and recently attempted 0 escape from the stockade, where he was shot with buck~ shot by guards, : CITY-WIDE MANHUNT : BY POLICE AND SHERIFF Jailer Morgan, who bravely refused to hand over his keys to thé escaping prisoners, even when threatened with | death, opened the tank door and released himself and the | imprisoned civilians and other jailers. | The alarm was quickly sounded and the posses quickly organized. Sheriff Matt Starwich, who has foiled numerous ; attempts at jailbreaks in recent months, in which some of the fugitives were concerned, immediately ordered all E deputies into emergency service and led them on the grim : chase after the fleeing desperadoes. q | Chief of Police Severyns, informed of the jailbreak, 1 j ordered all available patrolmen and downtown police to _| join in the hunt. Detective Captain W. E. Justus likewise 4 | detailed all detectives on duty into the increasing manhunt. The possemen spread like a net over the route taken by the outlaws. ‘ The fugitives, fleeing in Dr. Stanley’s car, dashed away } from the jail into the downtown zone. They had trouble i in operating the car and as they approached the Pike Street | Tire Shop at 1024 Pike st., they ran the car onto the side- walk and abandoned it. The six men in the car were yell- ing wildly at this time. Three of them fled towards Howell |st. and the three others ran down to Pine and east on that street, They were dressed in overalls and white shirts, the usual prison garb, and one of them had no socks. W. O. Standring, of the tire shop, said the men were | trying to pump gas into the carburetor and in their excite- | ment they locked the car. Believing that they were out of | gas, they quit the car and fled on foot. From this point the chase by the possemen was again taken up and all rooming houses.and “hangouts” were be- | ing combed for the outlaws. | ABANDON CAR AT BOREN AND PIKE ST. A. C. Rosenfeldt, finger-print expert at the jail, and Jailer Riley were returning Alvah Kilbourne to tank No. 2, which is acell room. He had just been treated by Dr. Stanley for ‘wounds he had received in the Bothell bank robbery. As | Jailer Riley opened the door of the tank, Kilbourne jumped jto one side. Joe Ward, one of the prisoners in the tank, covered the two men with a revolver. The two jailers, Dr. Stanley, Dr. Ford and Attorney Milo J. Loveless, who was on his way to see a prisoner, were forced into the tank as the six men dashed outside on their way to freedom. The civil- ians and Jailers were locked in. The prisoners dashed into the jail office and held up Jailer Morgan, They demanded, on penalty of death for refusal, that he open the door to a cell housing Clarence Bagley, an- other Nanaimo bank-robber suspect. Morgan refused, and succeeded in keeping his keys. He was taken to the tank and locked in with the others, later liberating all of them. | Ward and Watson were armed with revolvers, which they had obtained in some unknown way thru connections | with the underworld. Johnson, according to Dr. Ford, car- j vied the spear, which was made out of a broom stick to which was tied an old table knife sharpened and ground to a point, The back door of the jail was open and it was thru this exit that the outlaws escaped. The prisoners choose an opportune time for the break, | since other jail officials were at that hour in conference in ; the prosecutor's office, } IX armed desperadoes, making a wild dash for freedom, | i t m. i | with two revolvers and a crudely-fashioned —
