got off the cars at Plattsburgh, stole boat,
and on Saturday night rowed across to this
city, where his wife lives, reaching here at
about two O'Clock Sunday morning. Officer
Jerome Dumas learned of his visit and sters
were promptly taken to follow him up
After visiting about an hour with his wife
he took his boat and rowed to the Red Rocks,
and there he was captured at noon Sunday,
ty Sheriff Drew, Officer Dumas and NJ.
Grafton, another party going by water to
head him off should he attempt to escape in
his beat. The recapture reflects great deal
Of credit on the officers, all the circumstances
being considered, and they are deserving OF
praise. Lefevre was originally imprisoned
for the theft Of u quantity of oats ut Col
chester Point and he is the sixth to be re-
captured of the seven prisoners who broke
