„ admit- a human body, was found to

lar tents to a point 50 feet beyond
the stone walls surrounding the pri
son. /
Haynes and Lepper, tubercular pa
tients, had occupied the tent for some
time and Anderson and Schmidt, pri
son officials said, have had no oppor
tunity to assist in the excavation. 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.
Officer* do not hesitate to advance
their convictions that Chapman aided
