that Davison was In the turnkey's of

Warden Dalyrmple, it was said, was

Jones then took the gun nnd fired a

Murray said: "'No, thin goes for all

Newman asked Murray: 'What do
you think of Dalrymplc as a warden "
"llo's as good a man us could be In

"What do you think of his actions

"No othor courso to follow," suld
Willos.

"Was tho break executed as plan
