...hour in trying by "hollering," chasing, forcing, coaxing, pelting, praying, beseeching, and cursing to induce that calf to leave the track. It only meandered slowly along, just a "lectle grain ahead." They all returned finally to the train. Bill furiously swearing, "By the holy horns of Beelzebub, if I bust my biler, I'll run that blasted critter down." The tender was emptied into the boiler, and the fireman sat on the safety-valve, and we ploughed along like an enraged elephant whose legs have been cut off by a circular saw.

When asked yesterday, afternoon about his future plans, Couming said, "We'll have to play it by ear. I'm just going to wait here until the marshals come to get me.

Civil Engineer Charles Francois Mallet poses...
...cellblock C at Brushy Mountain Penitentiary n Petros, Tenn. But Warden Lewis Tollett keeps a special eye on the man who is serving 99 years for the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and vows that he will never escape. Indeed, Ray, 42, would need a miracle to bust out of Tennessee's only maximum-security prison, a stark structure of white stone in the rugged Cumberland Mountains, where inmates used to dig coal round the clock for 25? a ton. Things are far better now, but only a masochist would try to get away...
