Russians would agree to lift the
blockade against the German
capital, not later than June. Gros
seemed quite certain of his pre
diction at the time and did not
qualify his assertion, although
he did not reveal that source
of his information. The speaker
impressed his audience with his
factual talk and with his facility
in handling the English lan

Student Nurse Said Involved
In Hospital Inmates Escape
Two inmates of the criminal ward of the Oregon state hos
pital were returned by attendants Monday following a brief pe
riod of liberty after they had sawed their way out of a third-floor
window about midnight Saturday and their capture in Portland
Sunday afternoon.
The men were Marion Wat-'
n, 21, and Floyd Barnes. 19.1
Being questioned in connection
with their escape is a former
student nurse not yet identi
fied by Dr. Charles E. Bates,
hospital superintendent. The
girl is said to have known Wat-
on prior to his confinement
and later resumed the acquain
tance at the institution.
Watson and Barnes told Port
land detectives that they had
shared the same ward and had
obtained four hacksaw blades
fronV'one of the attendants"
but refused further identifica
tion. After sawing through the
bars the men lowered themsel
ves to the ground on a rope of
bedsheets tied together and
hitch-hiked to Portland. Their
story was verified at the hospi
tal.
After reaching Portland the
pair hid in a hotel room but la
ter ventured outside and were
arrested at a street corner at
West Burnside and 7th avenue
within a few blocks from their
room.
Watson had escaped from the
hospital once before, in May,
1948, being received from Wash
ington county. He escaped early
in July of that year and went to
Clackamas county where he
took part in the holdup, torture
and robbery of a motel owner
near Milwaukie and is under
