Original Toronto Star caption: Hard-to-get-into jail in Milton has 16-foot fence around backyard. Four escapers scaled it easily from inside last Sunday; after overpowering their guards ? but police arriving minutes later to investigate couldn't get inside because they had no key. They finally had to borrow ladder from fire department to clamber over the wall and break into the jailhouse through the kitchen. Three of escapers have been recaptured; the fourth is still being sought.
