It was estimated by officials that three weeks were required for completion of the passage. Anderson and Schimidt were in mates of a cell house, but had free dom of the grounds inside the walls on Sunday. Prison officials expressed their be lief that the men were aided by per sons outside. Anderson and Chapman-were lead ers of what postal authorities say was one of the most daring gang of rob bers known to the postal service. Chapman was said to have been the man who engineered the Leonard street mail robbery iw tfew York, in which more than 31,000,000 in securi ties were taken from a mail truck. Both Chapman and Anderson re ceived 25 year sentences. Their ar rests ended an eight months’ search. More than $400,000 of the loot, it was said, was recovered on Long Island. _ Chapman escaped from the federal penitentiary here March 27, 1923, to- gether with Frank Grey, serving a five year sentence for passing forged money orders in New York City. They were recaptured after * gun battle near Athena, Ga», Chapman be ing taken to a Athens hospital to re cover from wounds. Chapman later escaped from the hospital by jumping out of a second story wjndow. Two men who are charged with having aided him to get away from the hospital were arrested some time later in New York. Chap man made good his escape. Prison officials after a thorough in vestigation of the tunnel, which they said is about 200 feet long, stated that outside aid" was given in this work. Perhaps, they stated, more than half of the tunnel was excava ted fiom the outside. The escape was not discovered un til late in the afternoon when the night check of all prisoners was com pleted. The entrance to the tunnel was hidden by the wooden flooring of the tant. Loose dirt from the long hole was packed tightly under the flooring. The last of the prison ers to enter the tunnel was unable to pull the flooring back over the en trance. Two small garden tools were also found under the tent. It is believed by prison officials that tools no larger than a brick mason’s trowel were used by the prisoners. Prints around the exit of the tunnel showed shovels had been employed, it was said. Four men were seen to run away from near the prison walls about dusk tonight, according to a report reaching the penitentiary. Track dogs were put on their trail but af ter a short run the dogs were thrown off the scent on reaching a concrete paved road leading to Atlanta.
