described what he saw of the pris

"The first shot J . heard . ws
from the turnkey's office, I believe
It was . directed toward : tower

shots were fired into tower one."
, "I next saw Murray7 and Jones,"
the witness said. . 'Jones was
working the lever of a Winches

Murray throw Willos a revolver.
Murray, Kelley and Willos then

shooting from the left side: There
was also some shooting from the
tower. Murray was shooting. with
a 'short gun. " J '
"I then ; aw " Jones' run , past
them under the tower; the other
three followed. They were appar
ently undecided as to the next
move. They then rushed up the
steps ! of ; the guard tower.- with
Jones ia the lead and Murray fol
lowing. Murray apparently was
hit. I saw him. stop, shake him
self, grasp his ' arm, and change
his gun from one hand to the
other.: They were shooting into
the tower, and also at some one
outside of the fence."
Robinson also , declared that in
a conversation -with Murray, the

"we had been planning this break
for four months."- Murray is also
said . to hare stated that they had
planned, taking two guards as
hostages. "What if. we ' didn't
go;" Davidson says be asked Mur

didn't go,M Muray Is said to have
stated.

said. "We've Just killed a man at
the pen. Come and show us the

us and they won't shoot a woman.
