Warden John S. Kennedy and the keepers In the prison confessed that they had not the slightest idea how Yates escaped. The prisoners on their way to the shop walk across the big prison yard. When they reach the door they are counted. It was here Yates was missed. The prisoners were returned to their cells and the alarm whistle of the pris on. which can be heard two miles, was sounded. Within fifteen minutes of the discovery Warden Kennedy had dis patched several bands of guards to search for Yates in the surrounding country. The fog from the river was thick and a passing train also made everything favorable for the escape. Yates possesses a remarkable career for a criminal of only 29 years of age..
