Theodore Cole Alcatraz

In a model building at nine o'clock a.m., the four men used prison knives called “shivs” to knock out a custodial officer. Another officer named Henry Weinhold went to check on the custodial officer, but Weinhold also got knocked out by Boarman, Brest, Hamilton, and Hunter. The prisoners then jumped out of a thirty foot tall window into the water. Weinhold then was able to blow into the custodial officer's whistle.
