Six Walla Walla
Prisoners
Still at Large
WALLA WALLA, Wash., (/P)—
Six tough, patient convicts who
scooped out 12 tons of dirt in
boring a 200-foot tunnel under
•the Washington State Prison
walls were hunted throughout the
Pacific Northwest Tuesday.
Seven made the spectacular es
cape early Monday mornnig. One,
Ralph Courser, 45, sentenced in
Seattle on a robbery charge last
July, was wounded and captured
in Portland, Ore., six hours later.
The manhunt for the fugitives
was one oi the region’s greatest.
Coui'ser was alone when he
was spotted by Portland police,
and winged in the neck as he
tried to flee on foot.
The six convicts still at large
were described by prison officials
as dangerous and “maximum se
surity” prisoners.
The break astounded authori
ties at the penitentiary, who said
the men must have worked for
months digging out the dirt a
cupful or handful at a time.
If prison cups were used, of
ficials said, it would have taken
28,800 of them to complete the
bore. The dirt was scattered each
day with the ashes and carted
away. The entrance to the tun
nel was beneath the steel plates
used in the ash pit.
One of the escapees, Bob Pal
mer, Walla Walla, has vowed he
will never be taken alive.
Alvin and Louise Polet arrived
from Fairbanks to spend the holi
days with A. Polet and the
Boucher family. They plan to re
turn to Fairbanks next Tuesday.
