Built to hold 3,000 pri- soners, its population had risen to More than 6,000. Not especi- ally noted for its comfort and congeniality at the best of times, Life in -the prison had become intolerably wretched. A feeling of unrest among the inmates snowballed and soon a score of prisoners were singled out ' as agitators and cast into Ahe infamous dungeons. But far, f r o m relieving the tensibn, this move aggravated it. Rudolph "Bad Boy" Straight, a 35-year-old criminal who had twice tried, and failed, to escape from San Quentin, became more determined. than ever to succeed at his third attempt. At a time when most •people were looking forward to Christ- mas, Straight was anticipating a happy new year of freedom. Carefully he selected three accomplices. They were a 28- year-old Scotsman, Alexander Mackay, and two 'Americans — Joe Kristy, 26, and Fred Lan- ders, 27. The four of them plan- ned to make their bid for 'free- dom on January 16th, 1935, Straight promised them there would be "outside help." At about noon on the day, a party of distinguished men, all responsible prison officials, were sitting d6wn to lunch in the office of Warden James Hollo- han. They finished their lunch and, while they sat smoking and chatting, Lieutenant Jones and watchman Doose of the prison guard left to fetch the warden's car. A minute after their depar- ture, four desperate men, each of them armed, stopped work in the nearby prison garden, en- tered the warden's house, and burst info the lunch room. The 62-year-old warden tried to restrain them, but was thrown to the floor and his skull was fractured with a blow from the butt of a pistol. The rest of the Routed Lions With Flashlight Every day people show flashes of brilliance in getting out of tricky situations. Mr, Hendrik Coetzer, a South African lawyer, took his attractive young wife, their two children and six other youngsters to camp with him, re- cently, on the boundaries of the Kruger National Park. At 2a. m., while they were all sleeping round the campfire, he suddenly awoke and saw a pair of eyes glinting at him out of the dark. Calling to his wife, "We've a hyena nosing around here," he switched on his flashlight and saw, to his dismay, that instead -of a prowling hyena, the place was full of lions! He counted ten of them, all padding towards him. But he didn't panic. He shouted to his wife, telling her to bun- dle the children into the car, and while she did so, he swung his flashlight beam from lion to lion, holding each .one at bay. When his wife gave the "Okay," he backed slowly to- wards the car, but still waving his flashlight beam as a warning- off signal, then he spun round, hurled himself into the driver's seat —ancrelainined'• the door. Revving up, he drove slap am- ong the lions, causing them to flee, roaring angrily. True, resource, again under nerve-racking, circumstances, dis- tinguished an Indian family when the river Tapti recently burst its banks, flooding the. Su- rat district, 200 miles north of Bombay. Tile floods swept aside the family's home, and all surround- ing 'dwellings, as one of the daughters was about to have a baby. Then the girl's family had a brainwave, Four: 'of its members waded with her to a large tree, and helped her to clanslarrnnto its branches. There they spread out a -cloth, rigging it up as hammock, and I laced the mother-to-be on it. Some hours later, as the flood waters swirled around the tree- trunk, she gave birth to a healthy boy.

SECRETARY-TREASURER 140 CUMBERLAND "ST., OTTAWA CE. 6.7475 victims were ordered to swap clothes with the convicts, Mark Noon, the prison board secre- tary, was forced to telephone the guard, to warn him not to open fire. The hostages emerged just as the warden's car was driven up. Jones and Doose were disarmed and the members of the prison board were ordered into the car. The 'four convicts followed them in. Forcing the two guards to stand 'on either running board,. they drove out through the west gate. O n c e outside, Doose was- pushed off and Jones hauled inside to drive. The car sped 'on its way with the wake of pursuers keeping II respectful distance _.for fear the convicts used their guns. Realiz- ing that the escapers were alarmed by the speed at which the police had' closed in, Mark Noon suggested that he should be set down to hold, beck the pursuing cars, T h e convicts agreed and dropped him off just before the Petaluma Bridge. Noon stopped the leading po- lice car and learned that the Petaluma drawbridge was up, effectively blocking the escape of the fugitives, The convicts' car came roar- ing back along the road. Swear- ing with rage, they headed to- wards Novato, doubling back through the ranks of their pur- suers and creating 'wild confu- sioTnh.ey encountered a road block near Marshall and opened fire. The police, apparently unaware of the hostages in the car, re- plied with rifles and machine guns. Both rear tires of the car were blasted away but somehow it kept going. Driving at a suicidal pace, the convicts reached Valley Ford. As they rounded a bend another hail of bullets met them. The windshield and- rear windows were shattered and "the car ca- reered crazily off the road. Forcing open the nearside doors, the convicts leapt out and raced for the shelter of a nearby dairy. The driverless car plung- ed towards the brick wall of the building at 30 m.p.h. Somehow the officials t hr e w themselves clear 'just before the vehicle smashed into the brickwork. A huge army of police closed in on the dairy in which the convicts had taken cover after locking the staff in the deep freeze. Straight appeared at a win- dow and raised a rifle. Before he could fire a charge of buck- shot hit him full in the face. At the fall of their leader, the other three "men surrendered.. Bach was found to have a..45 Ruth- !static, and a hundred rOunds between them. The four Members of the pri- son board were safely retrieved and one was taken to hospital to have a bullet removed from his hip. Straight was also re- moved to hospital, but died later that day, With the three surviving Con- victs safely back jail, the most draniatic break in the history of San Quentin was at an end. But one question remained to he answered, How had' the guns been smuggled into the prison? The mystery was cleared up by Landers who revealed that the guns had come from' a man called Clyde Stevens, a former Sari Quentin convict; wanted by the pollee •for robbing a Sari Praneisco bank, They had been hidden under the hotici of a truck 4 Whc lll WEIS stored night in a Sari garage.

Riding Bucking Bulls For Money Jee Green is a sensitive 23-Year-old from the town of Sulphur, Okla., who makes, a liv- ing by riding rodeo bulls who do everything but snort fire and brimstone, Green does not par- ticularly like to ride bulls, In fact, he is almost,always ner- vous just before he performs. But, going into the National Finals Rodeo at Pallas last month, Joe Green felt strangely cairn, Not that it helped, "That worried me," he said, "It always worries me when I'm not ner- vous." The Dallas rodeo, organized this year as a World Series for a sport which annually draws 15 million spectators, matched Joe Green and 68 other carefully selected cowboys against the most dangerous rodeo animals in the country for prizes adding up to $57,500, The events ranged from steer-wrestling to calf-rop- ing, but to the cowboys, the busi- ness of ridiing bulls was differ- ent — and more perilous than anything else. Riding bulls, with their fran- tic spins, their quick direction changes and, as a special fillip, their horns, is more risky than riding braises. Further, ball rid- ers are not permitted saddles. They cling with one hand to a rope tied around the hull's stom- ach. What they fear 'most, under- standably, is being thrown for- ward in the zone where a bull can hook them in the face with his horns. Two things distinguished bull rider Joe Green as the Dallas rodeo began. He was hot — he had won prize money in a dozen straight rodeos since August, building his year's earnings to $9,921. And then, unlike many of his rivals, he was not afraid to admit the fact of fear. Green himself believed that money, rather than the bulls, was the underlying cause of his tension. "I went through long periods of not winning and I got in debt and I needed the money so bad, But it got to a point where, when I could win some money, I jumped off. I actually jumped Off, I was so tense." Green, paused, then added:, "Still I haven't choked up since April." Green's third bull, in Dallas was an animal named Baldy, not big for a' rodeo bull (1,600 pounds) but fast. Baldy's coat was brownish` yellow, his face was white, and his horns were small. As Green spurred. Baldy out of the chute and into the arena, the bull spun hard and tight to the right, Green hung on. Sud- denly Baldy stopped spinning and leaped high. Green lost his tight foothold on the animal's mid-section, but stayed on. Then Baldy spun to the right again and Green sailed off his back. Baldy planted his hind feet in the small of Green's back before a rodeo clown lured him away. Green tried to ride again that night. "I couldn't," he said. "My ribs felt like they were pulling in two. It turned out the cartil- age was torn between three of them." Why does Green do it — sub- mit himself to physical beatings and mental torture year after year? (He started bull riding when he was 14.) Green makes no mystery of the answer. "Hell," he said, one hand on his battered side, "Why do you think E do it? For mon e y." —From NEWSWEEK Stevois.

On February 20th, the Cali- fornia supreme Court mom, mended that Mackay's execution be delayed until the 1.7,S. Su- prune Court had dealt with an appeal from Joe Kristy. This was rejected and a new exe- cution date was fixed fo' April 24th. Then, an hour before the' two men were due to hang, there came another dramatic in- tervention. Governor Merriam postponed the death penalty fora further thirty days in response to a re- quest from the British Govern- ment. There was an immediate re- sponse • from district attorney Bagshaw, w h a. called Britain's intercession "an insult to the California Supreme Court" and a third date was set for the exe-• cution — May 22nd. On May 21st, Sir Ronald, Lindsay, t h e British Consul, visited the State Department and as a result a further request was sent to Governor Merriam to commute the sentence, but once again it was rejected, An eleventh hour 'appeal by An- thony Eden, Britain's Foreign Secretary,. also failed. • At 10.05 a,m, on May 22nd, Mackay and Kristy were hang- ed before a hundred witnesses at San Quentin.
