...compare a military prisoner to a criminal prisoner? The military prisoner hasn't the friend and money for which to spring him while, as the records show, the criminal prisoner uses friend, money and all other types of schemes to make his escape. Remember, the Golden Gate does not always see the beautiful sunset but is enveloped in a heavy fog a great number of days during the year. A prisoner with enough "guts'' could on one of these foggy nights plan his getaway, swim a short distance to a confederate in a boat and disappear under...
...Chicago steamed out of San Pedro harbor one day last week, headed up the California coast to join the Navy Day ceremonies in San Francisco Bay. Off Point Sur, 110 mi. south of the Golden Gate, a dense fog closed around her. Suddenly just before the 8 o'clock morning watch was called, a large brown ship loomed out of the mists across her bow.

Alphonse ("Scorface Al") Capone may be transferred there from Atlanta Penitentiary.* The Army keeps only two guards armed to watch over the 38 military prisoners now incarcerated on Alcatraz. Since 1858, when Alcatraz first became a military prison, only one convict...
...cleaving sword. But a simple man and true, an honest yardcop, the flower of Colonel Apted's force, could shear the tangled threads. He would divert traffic from Widener's airy porch, the prime lurking lair of homicidal chauffeurs. To do this he would open the at present unused gate by Harvard Hall, where trucks bearing heavy burdens would be admitted, and at which the carriers of light parcels, laundrymen and such, would be denied the luxury of motor transportation. This would shunt all traffic to the dormitories, where it belongs and leave the pavement before Widener free for initiations...
