Only Man To Flee Chicago
Jail Dies in Electric Chair
Chicago (U.R) The only manj
ever to escape irom deatn row
at the Cook county jail was elec
trocuted Friday only a short dis
tance from where he clubbed a
guard to death. '
Three jolts of electricity
1,900, 700 and 300 volts hit
Harry ' Williams beginning at
12:05 a.m. CST.
Six minutes later, three physi
cians placed their stethoscopes
to his chest then announced that
Williams was dead.
Baptised Catholic
He walked steadily to the
execution chamber after saying
a final hail Mary with the jail's
Catholic chaplain. Williams,
once described as one of Chica
go's most vicious criminals, was
baptized a Catholic recently.
Earlier in the day he had been
visited by his mother, Mrs. Edna
Williams of Cleveland, and his
girl friend, Miss Barbara Swa
der, 20.
Miss Swader, also a county
jail prisoner awaiting trial for
burglary, was permitted to
leave her cell to pay a last visit
to the condemned purse-snatching
murderer. Her last wards
with him were, "Goodbye, and
God he" with you," jailers "said.
Guards said his composure
when he entered the death
chamber was outstanding. - '
A black hood covered his en
tire head. He wore a white,
sleeveless undershirt,, trousers
cut off at the knee and over
sized laceless shoes.
As he was strapped in the
chair, he murmured "goodbye"
to a guard.
He accomplished ' what was
considered the impossible when
he tricked guards into permit
ting him to leave his cell shortly
before midnight last Aug. 15.
Guard Clubbed to Death
While he supposedly was in
the washroom, Williams made
his way out a ventilator to the
high concrete wall surrounding
the jail.
He crept along the catwalk
atop the wall and came up be
hind George Turley, a guard on
duty in a watchtower. He grab
bed Turley, wrested his shotgun
away and clubbed him to death
with it.
Then Williams, a well-built
man, slipped down a handmade
rope and fled into the rainy
summer's night.
But exactly 47 hours after
his escape, a detective spotted
him on a street car.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN
Pirating of Labor
Being Investigated
Wenatchee U.R) Regional
Wage Stabilization Board Chair
man Leo Kotin said Friday the
WSB is investigating reports that
some fruit growers are "pirat
ing" pruning labor by paying il
legally high wages.
Kotin said the preliminary in
vestigation in this area will be
made by the wages and hour di
vision of the U.S. Department of
Labor.
The official said reports reach
ing the board indicated some
growers were paying $1.25 per
hour for pruning labor. Accord
ing to these reports, the prevail
ing rate in 1950 was $1 per hour
or less. Kotin said it appeared
on first glance that few farmers
in the area can legally pay a
rate in excess of $1.10 without
prior authorization of the WSB.
