Life term inmate Mike Donnelly escaped from the center of Walla Walla prison during a dust storm. He fled via roof and a hidden rope, crossing an open yard to the hospital area, then down near the warden’s house. This marks his second escape in two years after a 1913 dust storm escape led to Montana capture before being returned. He is described as a one and a quarter blood Negro and murderer serving time since January 1911.
