YOUNG GUNMAN BREAKSPRISON Makes Houdini-Like Escape From Strait-Jacket Bu United Press BOSTON, June 23.—A widespread police search was under way today for a 17-year-old gunman who had done a Houdini-like feat of escaping from city prison. The youthful jail breaker, Victor Stanwhite of Dorchester, was arrested Saturday after he had shot a pawnbroker in an attempted holdup. At that time he gave his name as Frank J. Page of Long Island City, N. Y., but subsequently was properly identified. He claimed to be “3X,” New York’s murderous maniac, but authorities found nothing to confirm this. When transferred from a police cell to city prison, the youth warned his captors that he would escape. He was put in a straitjacket and lodged in a padded cell and an arml guard was posted outside the cell. Patrolman Joseph W. Walsh, the guard, was enjoying a nap when Stanwhite escaped. Somehow the young prisoner struggled free from his straitjacket, dressed himself, reached through the bars to obtain the guard’s keys, and then unlocked five steel doors and escaped. Seventy-five fellow prisoners witnessed the getaway. Never before in the half-century history of the institution had a prisoner escaped from inside its walls. Houdini once escaped from the prison as a feat, however.
