Freedom Is Won
For iames Lucas
Next April 20
By CHARLIE HALL
(American Editor)
James Lucas, first convicted in
Breckenridge, and who lias beeii
in prison 28 years, soon will be a
free man, proof that friends and
acquaintances do not forget, and
that a man can win a rehabilitation
chance, iu matter how dark the
picture.
A letter received Friday by Mr.
and Mrs. Garland Carey from the
mother of Lucas, Mrs. Bcrline Bay-
lor, Sacramento, California, states
that Lucas will be freed from pris-
on on April 20. In this she stated
how happy they would be, and
thanked Carey for his great part
in securing the release of her son,
Lucas was convicted in Brecken-
ridge in 1030 and sent to Hunts-
vine for five years for burglary, a
burglary in which it was said a
number of others here were involv-
ed.
Lucas escaped ftom Huiitsvillis
twice. The second time lie went to
Denver Colorado, came back and
robbed the bank at Albany. For
111ihe was sentenced to 25 years.
And was sent to Atcatraz. While
there he became renowned for stab-
bing AI Capone.
Life Is Given
But he and two others attempted
to escape from Aieatraz in 1037,
and during the escape attempt a
guard was killed. The three were
givi n life sentences.
Lucas then did six years in soli-
tary. and tile other two convicts
still are ia Aieatraz. Lucas was
sent to Fort Leavenworth in 1053,
along wi.th Machinegun Kelly. This
made him eligible for parole.
Carey went to w.irK trying to
secure his release iu 1055. He and
Mrs. Carey went to Leavenworth
to see him. They talked with him
for two hours and became convinc-
ed that he could be rehabilitated.
Tins, Carey said, followed a
statement by a prison warden to
Mrs. Baylor that he knew Lucas
did n >t Kill the guaid. l_,ucas later
stated lie did not even know the
guard had been killed.
Assistance Enlisted
Carey came home and enlisted
friends and acquaintances to send
letters and telegrams to the federal
parole board. Assistance was se-
cured from Dale Hitchcock and Les-
ter Clark, Carey said. Clark secur-
ed an interview for Carey with Gov.
Shivers and a letter was sent from
the governor's office to the Depart-
ment if Justice.
Meanwhile. Lucas hail finished
courses in Bible, geology, and ac-
counting, which he had to pay for
himself. And each year he had ap-
plied to the parole board.
First blight ray of hope for re-
lease came when Lucas was moved
to McNeil Island, an honor system
prison.
Carey first started action when
a prisoiiei who had served his time
came back to Breckenridge and
told Carey the ieast he could do
for Lucas would be to write to him.
What the outside world will look
