East convict plans escape after writing statement to Warden
Convict No. 82 named East, awaiting escape, submitted a written statement to Warden Hawk at the federal prison. He says three parties betrayed him, claiming he was unfairly sentenced to fifteen years though he expected four, and that he acted only after verifying suspicions through an ex-guard friend and a message from Indian Territory. The warden will not publish the contents, honoring the promise, while East may speak with a Constitution representative if he chooses.
