From the moment when they com
pleted their eighty-foot slide down
tho ropo dangling from tho lop of
tho prison's outermost wall, not n
trace has been found of either man
up to the early port of the after
noon. Warden Johnson win con
vinced, he snid, that he liml every
nvenue of escape from Marin eounl.v
closed. Somo of the scorchers
seemed to think it odd. however, Hint
so minute n hunt ns they have made
should not have uncovered at least
n scout if the men remained in the
prison's vicinity.
They declared it certain, nt nny
rate, that they were not in tho vil
lage of San Qiiontiu. Every house
thero was ransacked from cellar to
garret nml not so much ns n kitten,

From Sun Quentin the quest ex
tended into the Marin cnuntv hills.
