Indian colony's election Wednesday

When jailer Hugh Daley entered the call block to release a prisoner for supper, the pattern of previous jail breaks was repeated. when the two men grabbed. him and forcibly topk the keys.

After freeing themselves they looked the main gate oi the cell block and thus locked the jailer in this area of the jail. Fleeing into the jail yard they escaped by un- locking the gate and then disap- peared after throwing away the

keys, which were found later in the '1

evening.

The jailer. who lives on the third floor of the building, attracted the attention oi his wife by pounding on pipes in the cell block. -

She in turn notified the R.C.M.P. and phoned the assistant jailer, the only other -person who assists the jailer in the around-the-clock job oi guarding the custody oi the in- mates at this jail. ,

On arrival with his set of keys the assistant jailer released jailer Daley. and an immediate search was launched by R.C.M.P. and town police for the eschpees.

At the time of their escape Thibeau was wearing a plaid shirt and blue dungarees, while Murphy was dressed in navy trousers and a blue American Navy jacket. Both men are said to be in their 20ls.
