VICTS ESCAPED FROM NE
BRASKA STATE PEN.
ONE SENT UP FROM CASS CO.
John Doud. Gne of the Trio, Con
victed Here of Robbery Es
caped in Snowstorm.
From Thursday's Dally
Twelve years ago today, March 13,
1912, three convicts dynamited their
way out of the Nebraska state peni-
tentiary, killing the warden, deputy
warden and usher and wounding a
pruard i nthe flight. Five days lat-
er, two of the number. Shorty Gray
and John Dowd, were killed in a run-
ning battle with 'officers and the
third. Charles Morley, gave himself
up. A farmer, Roy Blunt, was also
killed.
Lloyd Dickman, Lincoln milk wa
gon driver, has a vivid memory of
the chase and gives his detailed storv
of the escape to the State Journal in
the following:
"Scared? Yes, sir. Actually I
never was so frightened in my life.
I first went to the milk house. A
convict popped out. Goose pimples
stocd out all over me. I went to the
j door. I felt crowded there wrere
too many convicts about our place
and I imaeined all our neighbors had
jeenvkts at their homes. I can nev
' or forget that day as long a3 I liva,"
is the way Lloyd Dickman expressed
himself.
"Yes, it is true, I am the milkman
who hauled a load of convicts thru
the streets of Lincoln, twelve years
ago, thru on$ of the worst storms
and the leepest snows I have known
ot in many years. ; ,

Dowd, treated mother

toward his memory for the gentle
manly tro.itment he showed toward
my mother. Dowd also helped me
with my chores. He spent consider

petting them.
"As darkness of the evening came

to the consternation of our unwel- i

the end of the warden and deputy
without the slightest regret, but of

they said they liked him as he had
always treated the prisoners as hu
