A Handcuffed Prisoner Escapes,

Deputy Sheriff Simpson of Cumberland ar
rived here on an early train this morning with
prisoner named John Burns. He was on his
way to the house of correction near Balti-
more. Burns was arrested and convicted
in Cumberland of charge of disorderly
conduct. His sentence was sixty days When
the law officer reached here with his
prisoner and learned that he would
have to wait some time for the Baltimore train
he went into the dressing room to wash his face
and hands. As the prisoner was handcuffed
the officer thought he could not get away. even
if he tried. but he had no idea that Burns
would make such an attempt
In this he was mistaken, for while he was in
the wash room Burns left the depot and he did
not have enough consideration for the officer to
even leave the handouts behind.
The police were requested to assist in the
capture of the fugitive
