Kudos to Lewis Lawes,Warden of Sing Sing Prison 1920-1941 & a proponent of prison reform, when Barry was incarcerated in 1927.

Every time Barry climbed a porch or placed a ladder under a 2nd story window, he was taking a gamble. Not only betting he would not get caught-he was rolling the dice & hoping he would make it out alive.
