PERILoUS LEAP FOR LIBERTY.
Thompson and Smith Caught Outside the
Prison Wall, Both with Broken Logs.

Thompson and Smith Caught Outside tho
Prison Wall. Both with Broken Logs.
A desperate but unsuccessful attempt to es-
cape was made on Wednesday evening by two
convicts In the Kings county penltentiary on
Crow Hill. They were James Thompson. alias
Tobin. who had completed four months OF his
five years term for burglary. and Edward
Smith, who had done six months Of his five
years and seven months term for a similar
offence. They had been employed with gang
ofother able-bodied prisoners on some contract
work in the old workshop alongside the north
wall on the Nostrand avenue side OF the
grounds. and had not previously shown any
ugly disposition. When Keeper Nicholas Jones
was marching the gang from the shop to the
cook house about o'clock. he noticed that
thore were two men missing from the ranks.
All the available keepers wore hustled OF to

Schollard and other keepers hurried to the
nut up on finding both mon badly disabled.
Thompson was yanly trying 10 climb out, Of
addition TO shock and internal injuries each
had sustained fractures ol both ankles.
They were carried back to the prison,
and within fifteen minutes after their
disappearance was discovered were under the
surgeon s care in tho prison hospital. 1t will
he long time before they will be able to reIoin1
their working gang. Thompson. who Is 23
years old, has been y thief since he was boy.
and this is his SECOND soypurn in the peniten-
tiary Smit h Is "a years old. and has Also been
in the penitentiary before. Their foolbardy
feat will cost them the time allowed for good
behavior.
The fact that tho roof OF the workshop was
undergoing repairs, In consequence OF the re-
cent fire. gave the two convicts the opportu-
nifty TO reach It. They told the Warden that
lney determined 10 make break for liberty on
the spur Of the moment. and that the ready
access to the roof was a temptation which they
could not resist. subsequently, however the
Warden made discovery which caused him to
suspect that tho gscapo had been planned be-
AT Union street and Bedford avenue. short
distgnce from the prison. Le found half dozen
hnrd-lookinR men carousing, and hanging on
pegs on the walls there were two fun suits OF
