Shortly after the escape was reported, police learned an automobile had been stolen in Mt Carmel in the afternoon. They received another report that Bruno had been seen driving through Tamaqua, IS miles from Pottsville. Bruno, small and swarthy, headed the Bruno clan and for years wag a Republican leader in the little mining community of Kel-ayres, situated on a barren hill near Hazleton.
