PRISON ESCAPE
EHTSiie
Calm Investigation Made
After Excitement of Pen
itentiary Tragedy .: ;
MANY REPORTS WRONG
Guns . Are Banned ' Inside ' of
Prison Proper; Guards Receive
-From Locked Steel
Cabinet
BY C. K. LOGAN
With the first excitement of
the tragedy at the prison last week
subsided and routine matters once
more taking their course it is now
possible to make certain explana
tions that will clear away con
siderable misunderstanding "upon
the part of the general public.
In the mind of the average
person every guard at the prison
is constantly armed with either a
rifle, shotgun or revolver. This
impression is erroneous.
When a guard reports for duty
or to relieve another guard he
reports to the turnkey's office and
obtains his firearms which are al
ways kept In steel cabinets and '
under lock. Immediately upon
obtaining his equipment the ar
senal U re-locked and he goes to
whatever post he may be assigned.
The relieved man goes directly to
the turnkey's office and places hi .
personal armament under lock. No
guard leaves the institution with
firearms unless lt Is to guard pris
oners, relieve any outside man cr
go to the rifle range for practise.
At no time is there a gun In
the front offices occupied by th
warden, book-keeper of the turn
key. Guards stationed la the
main building are without person
al protection and lack guns ef
any kind. This applies to the
turnkey, any other who happen
to be about the onter building and
in the chapel, the large room just ,
Inside the main building from
which the cell tiers are extended
north and south la large wings.
Thee guards, as far as protec
tion, for themselves or prevention
of an escape are as helpless si
the casual visitor.
An investigation was made int
routine activities at the pen i ten
tiary Saturday. It was found im
possible for one man -let alone
four to step from line while going
to supper as is stated In Interviews
with Oswald Weat, former gover
nor, published In Portland papers.
At mealtimes all convicts ars
lined np in the yard and marched
to their cells where they are lolk
ed in and counted. When this Is
complete a gong sounds and the
cells are automatically unlocked
from the chapeL- The men then
go to the dining room. Upon com
pleting the meal they are returned
to their cells. locked In and again
counted. This count Is made six
times a day, before and after each
meal. It has been customary to
permit convicts to remain in their
cells if they did not wish to eat.
None of the four men concerned
in the escspe Wednesday. . night
have been cell mates nor have
four other known desperate ehtr-.
acters celled together. When in
the yard every effort Is made to
prevent them from communicating
with each other and they are sep
arated at work. Warden Dalrym
ple said.
Plots are continually being
hatched and in nearly every In
stance are blocked. Some of these
have peen well prepared and along
toward completion when discovery
has been made. Nipping of these
is considered routine business and '
the public is not aware of them
Th only ones that the public
know about are those: that r
