ESCAPED PRISONERS
i.'ommuea ironi jirst faee
A Washington license plate was
fn use when the car was found but
this is said to have displaced a Cal
ifornia license. The car was stolen
at Gold-mdalc.
The third man in the jail break
ing party was Charles Ronning of
Duluth, Minn., wh owas apprehen
ded by state police near Boardman.
Ronning was in the act of stripping
parts from a car when arrested.
Justico A. E. Chaffee of Boardman
sentenced him to 10 days in the
county jail in order to hold him for
investigation.
The prisoners fashioned a make
shift wrench from a small rod re
moved from the jail toilet. With
this they loosened .bolts holding
iron bars over the cell ventilators.
Had they not been slight men they
still could not have gotten out of
the cells. Once out of the cells their
next task was to get out of the
jail proper and this they proceed
ed to do in a manner which re
moves any doubt about their being
experts. They first tried to spring
the outer door of the jail but failed,
except to bend it so it will not close
tightly. They then turned their at
tention to the ceiling and this prov
ed the way out for them. The jail
toilet sits in the corner. It is an
early model with the flush box
near the ceiling. The sheetiron
ceiling was not difficult to remove
and they tore enough away to per
mit one of them to work at the
outside covering which was of the
same material. The roof stringers

the ends of the stringers from the
stone to the roof. Only men of
small stature could figure on

through a hole about nine or 10
incne3 by 12 inches.
It is stated that the escapees at
tempted to run off with the Jack
O'Connor car which was parked on
Court street in. front of the Court
apartments. The car door was un
locked but ignition "and steering
wheel were locked. They left the
door open and the car was quite
badly rain soaked. Farther north
on Court street Russell Wright's
pickup was parked with the keys
in it. Wright had returned from
Pendleton Monday evening and
left the keys in the car so that
Orel Wright could drive it to the
garage tne next morning to worK
on it. I t developed Wednesday
morning that Orel did not find the
car and police officials are of the
belief that this was the vehicle
the escapees used to get them to
Arlington, where, apparently, they
decided to ride in better style and
appropriated a Chevrolet sedan, or
at least that was what they were
driving when caught at Baker.
Information received by Sheriff
Mollahan this morning was that
FBI agents were taking the trio to
to Portland today to be examined
on federal charges.
