DOSSIE offered to help her ex-husband Carl Janaway escape from Alctraz, and he declined. Several years after Dossie helped Ted Cole and Ralph Roe escape Alcatraz, Carl Janaway gained a cell mate by the name of Al Capone, and became his caretaker after Capone showed signs of neurosyphillis early in his sentence. Carl Janaway was also a master escape artist, breaking out of the deadly Tucker Prison three times. In fact, he escaped twice in only four months, becoming the only inmate to escape twice and not be murderd, as guards then were ordered to shoot to kill.
