thief, was captured Thursday night, In

Wolf Nichols, who is only 20 years old

six months ago and started with them to
his home in Lancaster. He was appre-
hended, however, by Chief Police Deich-
ler, who made an effort to take him back
to West Chester for trial. The train was
speeding along at the rate Of forty IN lies
an hour, and Chief Deichler felt that there
was no danger Of an escape by his prisoner
who sat next the window.
In spite of the trains great velocity,
Nichols, taking advantage Of momentary
turning OF tho officers head, hurled him
self like fash through tho glass. BY the
time the train had stopped be bad disap.
peared. IIe then came to Philadelphia,
his wife following him, and rented a house
in the rear of 1888 Cherry street, where he
claims To- have since been leading an hon
est life. When he cav them ho ran up
stairs and socretod himself on the third
floor, but was soon dragged ont Of his
hiding place aud taken TO the Central sta
tion, where he will have n hearing Friday
