Roehl and Pailister. tho murderers who es.
capped from Sing Sing Prison Thursday night,
no trace has yet been found that throws ans
light on the whereabouts Of the fugItives.
Warden Brown Inns been in New York since
early morning with State Detective jackson.
The prison authorities In charge during the
s warden's absence unite In placing the blame
for the escape on Guard Hulse. who unlocked
Roehl's cell door. Many clues. suggestions.
and theories have found their way to the
prison to-day. Tho clues were promptly In
vestiRated. and one and all turned out to be
/, false. ..,.
Warden Brown has twenty-sevon men scour-
ing the country within O radins OF twenty
miles Of Sing Sing. There was a rumor late
this afternoon that Roehl had been captured
in Demorest. n small town near Nyack. OPP
posite Sing Sing. Two OF Warden Browns
men were there within an hour after tho
rumor was heard. and they found IL wns un-
true. It Is the same with nll the stories. The
ono alleged clue that has any foundation In
! fact Is the seeing OF n boat resembling
the ono that was stolen. The skin was
seen Ivy Ralph r. Stray. n brother OF
Commodore Stray, tho owner OF the missing
boat. Mr.. stray lives here and goes to New
! York daily TO business. His brother told him
% keep n sharp lookout along the river for the
hoat As he was going 10 the city this morn
ing he noticed n boat resembling his brothers
lying on tho beach at Kingsland Point. on the
east side OF the river. north Of Tarrytown. and
about i've miles south Of here. 1t was partly
nlled with water. and was lying half on tho
beach md half In tho water. There were no
oars In 1t. Strny got oil ut Tnrrytown and tele-
phoned to his brother. who sent a boy named
Irving f. Han to get the boat. When Hail got
there tho boat was gone. Young Stray is posi-
tive that the bout he saw Is his brothers.. It
Is possible that the tide early this morning
landed It where It was found. and that the
Hood tide late this morning carried 1t away
again.
