Convicts Escape
In Warden',s Car
San Quentin, California,. the
biggest penitentiary in t h e
world, was grossly 'overcrowded
in 1935. 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. Soon afterwards the floods
subsided,

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

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

Their execution date was fix,
ed for February 28th,. 1986, but
on February liath the British
Government interceded in the
case of Scotsman Mackay, 'who
said. he had taken,part in the
break because he considered he
had been unjustly treated.
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.

Easy Ways To

In these days of crazy values,
.when a Prime Minister cannot
expect to earn as much in a year
as a grunt-and-groaner can reap
in a month it'is not surprising
to learn that there are young
babies making 'fortunes with but
little effort.
Take the case of two-year-old
Lyndall Venn Brown of Sydney,
New South Wales. All Lyn does
to darn her fabulous wage is to
spit out the food she doesn't like.
Daughter of a professional die-
tician, Lyn,• is employed 'by' a
firm of baby food manufactur-
ers anxious to market only prep-
arationa that have baby-appeal.
They have 'learned' that moth-
ers 'will not buy tOods that are

high-chair and try out their

gulps, the food is given the 0.K,
But if she spits — then that 4 is

Tt is unlikely, however, that
Lyn will earn the vast sums al-
ready amassed by four-year-old
Anita trutehinson, of Los Art-
geles.
