How He Got Away From Morro Castle

In a 1909 interview a former prisoner recalls being captured during the Spanish American War and escaping by exploiting a jailer’s gambling habit. He teaches the man to gamble with loaded dice, then uses a forged check to secure freedom and returns to camp, while the pursuing captain ends up captured among other prisoners.
