historic event. This is because of the weather the night of the escape, the water of San Francisco Bay, and the overall construction of the raft that they took to escape from the Alcatraz.

they drowned on their way. Evidence has shown that Frank Morris and Clarence and John Anglin survived their escape (Hopkinson 6). This paper is going to explain why it is that they did in fact escape. According to an article by (Escape from Alcatraz by Hopkinson, Deborah) three men managed to escape Alcatraz on June 11, 1962 leaving no evidence whether or not they’re alive. Those three men were Frank Morris, and John And Clarence Anglin. They were more clever than any other escape attempts,…

had a little problem. The yard and the halls in the courthouse were full of hundreds of people (Nardo, 1997). The courtroom was standing room only, and even then, there was no space to stand. Every seat and square inch of the room was accounted for, Darrow noticed, as he squeezed into the courtroom (Nardo, 1997). Scopes and the judge, John Raulson, were already in their places while over 100 reporters squeeze in (Nardo, 1997). The worst part is that Dayton was in the middle of a heat wave…
