...Another escape try from Missouri state pen, on March 10, 1966. Ray placed a dummy in his bed, shinnied up a pole to his cell window, used wire cutters to snip through the steel mesh, and crept through a shaft to a fan ventilator. He hid there until the next night, but when he tried to leave, guards nabbed...
...Successful getaway on April 23, 1967, from Missouri state pen. Ray claims he clambered up a water pipe and used a stolen steel hook to yank himself over the prison wall, but prison officials believe he hid in a large bread crate, and escaped in a delivery truck that carried...

They went out to Locke-Ober's, but Shapiro, to steel himself for the ordeal, had drunk too much bourbon. By the time the steak tartare had arrived he was green; rapturously ill, he tried to run--outside, bathroom, anywhere. Her father would fix him with an eye regarded in some New York financial circles as imperious, but betrayed only the stupidity...
