No tracks were observed on the 01
side of the fence, but the street
hard and it would be impossible
note the tracks had he pumped doi
from the nine foot wall. Just at t
place Vaughn Is supposed to ha
climbed over the wall the tracks
an automobile were plainly discer
ble. This, however, is misleading,
about 10 feet'below there were oth
automobile tracks indicating that {
other machine had driven in to t
side and turned around as the fli
machine and still another below t
second. Officials o? the hospital aro
a loss to explain the car tracks, b
are not inclined to believe tli
Vaughn was spirited away in a vr
chine.
Hotti Doors liOckcd.
The second theory advanced is th
the prisoner had assistance from t
outside. That keys were used in eith
case ic certain as no violence was
sorted in making his escape. Vaug
was confined on the fourth floor
the main building and to get out
the house had to pass through t
ward door at the top of the four
floor and then out of n Ropnnd /in
at the bottom of tho staircase. Bo
these doors were securely i lock
when attendants discovered Vaug
was gone.'The only other way to g
out of the building was by the fl
escape and as he would have r
greater risk of being seen this w
It is believed he used the stairway
the bottom, unlocking both doors
being let out that way.
May Have Had Keys.
In discussing Vaughn's escape I
C. Fred Williams, superintendent
the hospital, said the prisoner mig
have had two keys that would ha
unlocked both the ward and botto
doors. Two keys were stolen or d
appeared about August 30 and i
effort to trace them had proved n
availing. These keys, however, we
believed to have been taken by a do
fiend, who was later dismissed fro
the institution, and Dr. Williams sa
there was only an indefinite belief

Vaughn was convicted of crimin-j
In'l ally assaulting one of the girls of the,
rR, Odd Fellows Orphanage October 26,'
Pp 1912 and was sentenced to die I)o-1
irn cember 20, 1912. The case was takenj
bl to the supreme court and later to
'n the United States supreme court, the!
opinion of the lower court in each I
_ instance being upheld. During the
* interim between the trial and thej
passing of sentence he escaped from
the Greenville jail. He was later ap-j
prehended in Baltimore and brought
back to South Carolina.
