CONSCIENCE OF CONVICT MAKES HIM COWARDLY Escaped Jail Breakers Give fThemselves Away, Being ft Panic Stricken. BETRAYED BY" CONDUCT I By FREDERIC J. HASKIN. AfJASHINGTON, D. C.—Prison escape's seagr- to be unusually numerous of late. Ota man miraculously departs from jail w# three fellow-prisoners, and no clew s fjfound. At a reformatory several deLSians lead to the suspicion that a key circulated among the Inmates. are similar stories in the is a frequent IggCSK. the question up to Earl Duti. fGgjX-d of the Prisoner's Belief Sogot this reassuring answer.

I>ESIRE FOR FREEDOM |CAFSES RETURN. “Nearly every day," says Dr. Dudding, “one or more men of this type come to me for help because the situation Is too much for them. There was a typical just a few days ago. The man and asked to talk with me. He Agl3|ftpoking at me. trying to decide could trust me with Ids and to him, 'when did you rlv k: -)-ke uv"r. ID be showed his fear so plalnhe looked relieved. We talked (the matter over, and I showed him that Khe only thing to do was to go back and Bnish his term. Then he could walk the streets a free man. ‘You aren’t free now,’ I told him. ‘You don’t dare talk to anyone.’ “ ‘That's true,’ he said. ‘But If I go back I’ll be put In. irons, and I was a trusty.’ “ ‘No, not if you give yourself up,’ 1 told him. ‘I will write to the superintendent and explain that you are coming back voluntarily, and ask him to give you your old place.’ ” The man agreed and here Is the surprising part of the story, to one who does not understand prisons and prisoners as Dr. Dudding does. The man was not pot under guard or handcuffed. Dr. Dudding told lilm to come back at a certain time. IVhen he came he was given a ticket to the jail town and a letter which had been obtained from the superintendent of the prison saying that he was traveling by permission of the prison authorities. The convict was to

carry this letter with him, to r he was wanted by the police and might have been arrested on his way. This man did not make any attempt to use either the letter or the ticket to escape. The adventure was over for him. Something like this happens about a hundred times a year. Escaped prisoners from all parts of the country coma In to an office of the Prisoner's Relief ■ Society or write to Dr. Duddiug to know ' what to do. He tells them, as he told the man Just mentioned, that they cannot expect to live honorably or in peace until they hare been freed by the State, and then, when he has their permission, he does what he can to make their return to prison easy for them. He says that he has never failed to convince any one who appealed to him of the wisdom of this course —even in cases of escapes from life Imprisonment. RETURNS TO PRISON AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS. Such an Instance occurred when Dr. Duddtcg was on a western trip some time ago. A man read in the newspaper ot the work of this Dr. Dudding, who had been a prisoner himself, and came to see him. The man explained that fifteen years before, he had, in a fit of anger, killed a girl who refused to marry him. He was given life imprisonment, /iut served only a few months when [Xfriends, who were indignant at what ■ they felt was an unjust sentence, helped ■ him to escape. He went West and built Sup a business and a name for himself. ■ Bnt the shadow of fear was always wor- [ rylng him. After consulting Dr. DudV ding, he went back to the prison. Ha [ served four years and was pnrdoned. As Dr. Dudding says, escapes of any kind ore rare, and the romantic escape, from prison at least, is seldom heard of jii-y more. William Hoheurolle.rn, ln.erned in a Dutch castle, apparently never thinks of putting poison in the guards’ afternoon tea or of burrowing bis wr.y out of the grounds of his estate, as any high-spirited monarch nsed to do in like circumstances. Louis Napoleon got oat of a similar awkward situation quit* by strolling out of prison dlxin workman's clothes, and carrying a plank on his shoulder. Still more ingenious was the famous Casanova. He was not of royal blood, but his exit from a prison cell over the room where the dreaded inquisition met Is one of the most famous escapes In history. Casanova’s escape has been spread out over several volumes. The most amusing Incident Is that in which he. desires to send a crowbar to a fellowprisoner. He planned to conceal the crowbar in a big Bible but it stuck out a few Inches beyond the covers, so he arranged with tha Jailer—who was either naturally or intentionally half-witted to carry a dlah of macaroni and the Bible to his friend. The platter was very large and very full. The crowbar was placed in the Bible and the dish was laid on top of the book. The idea was that the jailer would have to walk so cautiously to avoid spilling the sauce that he would not notice the crowbar projecting from the boojc below the dish. SOME ESCAPES FAMOUS IN HISTORY. You can imagine a modern prisoner evolving such a wild plan or a modern warden guilelessly bearing unexamlned gifts Atom one cell to another. Yet the ruse succeeded, and with many more breathless adTentlres, Casanova and a k fellow-prisoner battered their way out of the heat prisons of eighteenth Casanova’s day a prisoner was shut a fortress SrabWr that e iWlfeytA -

Shank Slated as County Board Head Carlin Shank was expected to be elected president of the board of county commissioners which was to reorganise today. The reorganisation was delayew because of the failure of Ilarr.v Tutewiler, commissioner-elect from the Second district, to appear. Lewis George, the present president, said he would nominate Mr. Shank, who is a hold-over member of the board.

traditional methods of a dramatic escape. Once in a great while, indeed, guards are still hoodwinked by an audacious trick. Some years ago. in Newgate, Connecticult, a very unusual and original departure from prison occurred. A prisoner had died, and his body was lying in a pine box in the chapel ready for burial. A colored prisoner realized the possibilities of that box. Pretending illness with convincing realism at the dinner table, the was permitted to leave the room and" go to his cell unattended. Instead, he went to the chapel, removed the body from the box and hid it In a corner. Then he fixed the nails In the lid so that the box would open easily, and got Inside. After dinner, three Irish prisoners and a guard were sent to get the box. The four got into the prison w.igon, with their burden, and drove off to the cemetry. As they set the box down by the grave n moan came from it. The men stood staring at it with bulging eyes. Then a louder groan arose. “Howly murdther!” yelled the Irish convicts. “The corpse is aloive!” and they tore back to the Jail, the guard only one step behind them. The “corpse'’ lost no time In coming out of his hiding place. The guard's gun lay where he had dropped It in his flight, and the prison wagon was also conveniently left. With these to help him. the fleeing convict had a good start liefore the pursuit began to and he got away. This Is an escape after the pattern of medieval affairs. There is adventure in It. But such tricks are rarely planned, '•et alone executed. Mostly, prisoners who depart unofficially from Jail do so by collusion with a guard, by force (in small Jails, not strongly policed), or occasionally by breaking their word when given liberties under the honor system. And when the prisoner does carefully break out of jail by one of these methods he usually ends by coming to Dr. Dudding to help him break in again.

EVANS PLEDGES LAW AND ORDER New Prosecutor Takes Oath in Criminal Court. Declaring in open court that It is his object to render service as prosecuting attorney of Marion County which will plense the "people who believe In law enforcement.” William P. Evans, after taking tho oath of office as prosecuting attorney of this county, today clearly defined his policy. Mr. Evans, standing before the bench In Criminal Court after repeating the oath of office, which was administered to him by Judge James A. Collins, immediately took the initial steps t*> return from Kentucky a fugitive who is wanted here on a charge of vehicle stealing. Jackson Carter, who is now in charge of the Marion County grand Jury by virtue of an appointment at the hands of the new prosecutor, received the oath of office as a deputy at the hands of Judge Collins. Mr. Carter Is prepared to begin work before the grand jury as soon as the new body Is empaneled next Monday morning. He states that his one object will be to handle all Investigations with the necessary rapidity which will assure a speedy trial. Judge Collins reviewed the six years spent by Claris Adams as a deputy and ns prosecutor, and commented at length on the personal friendship existing between Mr. Adams and the court. While Judge Collins was congratulating the citizens of Marion County in having the services of Mr. Adams as prosecutor, the Judge became so affected tears catne into his eyes and It was with difficulty that lie proceeded In fils remarks of praise. Mr. Adams stated that his one regret In leaving the prosecutor's office was the “severing of this official bond of friendship,” and contended that his best privilege of being prosecutor was the opportunity given him to “know the Judge” and declared that Judge Collins was “the highest type of a man.” The retiring prosecutor stated that the one pleasure in retiring from public office was that Mr. Evans, who has been his chief deputy l'or two years, now succeeds him and slated he was sure that the law enforcing agency of this county Is In the hands of not only “a capable lawyer, but an upright man.” Judge Collins then ordered court adjourned until next Monday, • when a heavy arraignment calender Is scheduled to be called.

SAYS COURAGE IS BEST ASSET American Meat Packers’ President Says Lack of Faith Dangerous. WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—“ This is no time for pessimism but it Is a time for constructive cooperation with a generous slice of pluck,” declared Thomas E. Wilson, president of the Institute of American Meat Packers, in a statement issued today reviewing the Industrial future of the country. “Industry must forge ahgpd and such severe setbacks which have been experienced must be considered as being left behind, for we cannot build permanently upon a structure having as a foundation its lack of faith in ourselves and our country,” said Wilson. “Each one of us must place ourselves In a position of being willing to make some sacrifice for the good of all.” GOMPERS GIVES WARNING TO LABOR WASHINGTON, Jan.

These are described as ail effort to “make real collective bargaining impossible,” through the establishment of various kinds of governmental boards and tribunals and the “heartless determination of many powerful employing Interests to reduce wages and to stop the wheels of production entirely in many cases, resulting In great unemployment.” LAMBDA CHIS ADJOURN TODAY Business Sessions Mark Last Meeting of Fraternity.

Church, Just as the whistles announced the arrival of tho new year, the fight took place. Efforts to find the police report on the affair failed. If there was a written report from the policemen who made the arrests It was ‘tkept under cover,” but several stories of the fight were obtained through other sources. A Jnnltor of the flat where the two men lire stated that Laltner was the cause of the trouble and that he drove up in an automobile, stopping In front of Alher’s house and started abusing Albers. The Janitor declared that Albers ran into the house and returned with a .45 calibre revotver and opened fire, shooting at least four times. He said that there had been much troublo between Albers and Lnltner.

She has written several books, one of them, “The Garden of Faith,” based on early experiences in her girlhood home. She is said to have often worn male attire as a girl, and her relatives declare she has entered on this escapade, they believe, to secure "color” for another novel.

Mrs. Church is a small, angular woman, giving her age as 38 years. She has a heavy, rather husky, voice. The Churches deny any deception or intent to defrnud. WORTHINGTON RESIGNS FROM CHAMBER BODY
