'Tiger" Johnson ut Wulla Walla
penitentiary eeveral years ago and
whose unerring rifle about three
years ago endea the life of Jim
Ogle, robber who killed J. N. Bur
gess and George Peringer of Pen
dleton in the Ciaremunt tavern
holdup in Portland in November
1922. Because if his grim record
as a guard, Davison Is hated by the
more desperate class of convicts,
who have given him the soubri
luete of "Shooting" Davison unci
Slaughterhouse John." There is
:i bit of irony in tl:e fact that Ore
gon Jones i'nd not John Davison
is dead, for the veteran guard was
one of the first men attacked by
Hie escaping desperadoes, but
Davison almost paralyzed Murray,
their leader, with u kick In the ab
domen, then ran for his rifle,
which ho used effectively a few
minutes later.
Break nt Sunner Hour.
The break started about five
minutes before 6 o'clock. Muirayj
Jones, Kelly and Wi litis were
working in the yard when the sup
per call was sounded. Instead of
:','oing to the dining room the four
went to their celit, later contriv
ing to get together. The count ut
this time of the day is made us the
men leave the dining room, nut as
Lhey enter, wliicn accounts for the
tact that they were not missed.
They went to the north wing o
the building on the east side and
worked their way to the top
the fourth tier of cells. This is
near the roof. Here, with knives
doubtless made from files, they
cut through six boards and the
tin cover of the roof. On the root
they made their way to the west
:nd of the building and hy mean
of a rope stolen from some of th
buildings and spliced together in
live pieces, lowered themselves to
he ground in the front yard, slid
ing down the rope between ui
two front windows. Hy a peculiar-
ty of architecture this point can
not bo Been from tithcr guard post
No. 1 or No. 7, which guard tho
front premises. This identical
means of escape has been used be
fore, once several years ago by
Jeff Baldwin, a notorious ehar-
ictor who never was captured nnd
is beli2ved to have been killed at
Tia J nana.
Warden Wounds Murrav.
Wurdcu Dulrymplo iiad just
L'inmhed dinner his house near
the prison entrance outside the
iron grunt fence, and was return
ing to bis officu fur the mail, ilia
attention was attracted by Mur
ray whom he saw in the yard. The
warden ran thru his office toward
Lhe turnkey's office and saw the
others, lfo knew it would be use
less to enter the turnkey's office
where he would have been trap
ped with the other officers, so in
stead lie ran back to his house and
armed himself with a shotgun.
Judging that the convicts would
toward the state insane hos
pital, the warden hastened to lhe
rison garage, also outside the
walls and lay in wait. It was from
Ills nni'juscadc I lint he winged
Murray a little later.
From the pr'son yard Iwo of the
ouvictfi ran to the south side of
(he wing and up steptf leading in-
short corridor between the
parole office and the turnkey's of
t'icc. The other two entered from
lhe north side. All tho convicts

met Charles McKiuley, a guarJ,
ind made a P"a nt him with his
nife. Mclvinley parried the knift
ind Jones struck McKiuley on the
taw with his fist, flooring the
muard, but McKiuley jumped up
i nd rai from thj corridor, across
ho yard nnd to r.ost No. 7 where
no got his rille.
Davison Floors Lender.
About the same time that Jonos
ittacked Mclvinley, Murray, the
leader, encountered John Davison.
riirustinir his knife at Davison,
.Murray muttered.
'Give nic the keys to the arse
nal, or cut your heart out."
nslead Davison lifted a foot and
Irked Murray squarely in the ab
domen, knocking him against a
tannister that guards a etairw-iy
ending downward nnd almost pre
cipitating him into the prison
lasement. There It a bit of humor
ihout this Incident because Davi
son, years ago when he lived in
t'liiatilla county, was known as
"Hig Foot" Davifon.
Davipon Immediately left a
north door Into I lie yard and ran
to post No. 1 on the north wall
and armed himself with a rifle.
Timikev Attacked.
Goine. on into the turnkey's of
fice the convicts found eeveral of
ficers to dispose of. Murray thrust
a knife nt IVto White, a guard
who was writing at the desk, and
demanded the Keys to the arsenal.
"You're crazy,' answered White.
Murray, then recognizing him, and
evidently knowing that Whito did
not have the kevs. gave his atten
tion to James Nesmith, tho turn
key. J encs also rushed Ncwmith
and slugged Nesmith i the jaw,
flooring him and possibly break
ing hi jaw. Nesmith was In a
dazed state until taken home. His
keys were taken and the arsenal
opened 1 thg desperadoes.
Four Winchester rifles, a shot
gun and two boxes of cartridges
were taken from the arsenal, be
sides the cartridges In the guns.
Shootinw Beirinn.
The convicts began to shoot at
nnec. Two shots were fired through
the south window at (Juard
Charles McKinlev on post No. 7,
and Mclvinley's mouth was filled
with brickdust when the bullets
hit the tower.
About the same time the con
victs began shooting through the
north window at post No. 1, kill
ing Sweeney ana wounding Hol
mnn. Ilolnun wan hit first.
Sweeney ran along the wall from
post No, 2 lo relieve him and was
shot through the head, dying in
stantly. W. K. Cardner, another
guard went to aid Hoi roan, tak
ing his gun and helping him
downstairs. A bullet from the
convicts knocked tho gun from his
hnnds. Hy this time Guard Davi

covered White with his gun and
ordered him to open the front gate.
But about this time llolman began
