was too Fate for me t6 go. Also they had taken the raft which
was to be cur means of eséane, “The last I saw Morris Was at —
9737 P, M. on June llth, 196Z and it is' my belief that they would

that directioz. Upon_getting to the mainiand we had decided that
we would commit a burglary so we could obtain guns and clothes,
and then _sté - Was our this
area as we could, although we had noo plan as to wheres we would
go. “Just the four of us were involved in this escape. To assist
in this effort, I had made a periscope out of paper and mirrors
which we could stick out of the hole on the roof to see if there
were any guards in that area prior to leaving the hole. [I had
given this periscope to Morris fot one of the Anglins and it was
_stored next to the roof. The only pesetitee weapons which they
would have would possibly be a kitchen knife or some similar type
objects which they might have sharpened.
When we were working attempting to get out of our cells we
would work from between about 5:30 P.M. and 9:0? M. in the
evening. When Morris or the glins were working up near the roof
they would generally do such work between 6:45 P. M. and 9:00 P. M.
at night. Generally, Morris, was with one of the Anglins when they

direction and let the Anglin brothers go in another. - line »
