CHAPMAN PLOT 10 ESCAPE BARED (Continued From Page 1) ported by railroad detectives that at three water tank stops strangers boarded the cars and asked the porters if there were any Federal prisoners on board.

CHAPMAN PASSES .JUROR Defendant Takes Active Part Ih Murder Trial. Bv United Pres HARTFORD. Conn.. March 24 Gerald Chapman, prince of bandits, will take an active part In his own defense on a charge of murder. That became evident nearly as soon as his trial on charges of having killed Policeman James J. Skelly of New Britain, Conn., opened today, Fred W. Veits, & farmer, wag the first juryman passed and he was passed on Chapman’s personal recommendation. “He looks like a fkir man,” Chapman said to his attorney when Veits was called to the Jury box. ”1 believe he will Judge the case on nothing but the evidence.” After brief questioning, Veits was accepted. He will be transported to and from the courtroom In an armored car and will be handcuffed to an officer, while other officers will form a guard around him. In the courtroom two officers will sit with him at all times. Before the evidence Is completed. It may explode stories that Chapman Is a college graduate; a man of linguistic attainment, and the scapegoat son of a prominent family. It Is understood that It will be revealed that Chapman in reality was born in New York on the East Side; that his education was gained in the public schools of New York and In a few months at a private school, during which time his honest, Irish parents hoped to make a priest of him, and that he left school to launch a criminal career which has lasted for approximately twenty years. He was first arrested when he was 17 years old and Is now said to be 37.

"Mrs. Beeewax,” whose reel Identity Is kept secret. Is understood-to have acted as Chapman’s banker. It Is alleged the profits of his activities were entrusted to her and that she gave him a monthly allowance. It was through letters that she wrote to Chapman that the bandit was captured and “Mrs. Beeswax” is expected to prove an Important State witness In establishing that he was in New Britain, the night of the shooting. The moat Important State witness, however, probably will be Walter F. Shean, "black sheep” of a wealthy Springfield. Mass., family, who Is said to have made a complete confession regarding the robbery that led to the officer’s murder. The confession, according to the police, indicates Shean had only a small part In the crime and that Chapman fired the fatal shot. The iiolieenian, James Skelly, was shot and killed la*t October when he surprised two men who had broken - -
