OUT OF SING SING.
Two Condemned Murderers Secure
Their Liberty.
They Throw Pepper in = Guards Eyes
and Escape-Carlyle Harris Refuses
to Leave the Prison-A
Bold Proceeding.
TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.

SING SING, N. y, April 22-Murder-
ers Thomas Ptllister and Frank W.
Rohle, both under sentence of death,
have escaped from the condemned cells
of Sing Sing prison. The discovery was
made at $40 a. m. Friday when Guard
Glinn found the two night watchmen
locked in the murderers' cells. When
the guards were released they told re-
markable story. Guard Hulse said that
at o'clock Thursday night he passed
supper in to Pallister.
The condemned man threw a handful
of the pepper into his eyes. Hulse was
blinded and Pallister rushed on him,
took his revolver away from him and
under threats of death forced Hulse into
the cell, first taking the keys away
from him. He then locked Hulse in
the cell and unlocked the cell of Muir
derer Frank Rohle.
REFUSED TO LEAVE.
The two murderers then unlocked
the cells of Carlyle w. Harris and
Murderers Osmond and Geoghen They
invited these two to escape with them.
Both Harris and Osmond refused the
offer to escape. Pallister and Rohle
waited until o'clock, when
Guard Murphy came on duty.
AS Murphy entered the corridor
Pallister presented his pistol at
Murphy's head and taking his keys
away from him locked him in Rohles
cell. Pallister took Guard Hulse's shoes
and cap away from him and put them
on himself, threatening to kill the
guards if they made any cutlery.
The two murderers climbed to the
top of the cells and knocked off the
scuttle in the roof. In this way they
got on the roof, climbed down into the
yard and made their escape. As soon
as the escape was reported Warden
Brown sent out his men to scour the
country. 1t is supposed that Pallister
had been saving the pepper given him
daily with his meals
HIGHLY COMMENDED.
The action of Harris, Osmond and
Geoghen, the condemned murderers
who refused 10 accept the invitation OF
Pallister and Rohie in their dash for
liberty, was highly commended by the
prison officers. Harris afterward said
that he saw nothing to be gained by
escaping, and, as he was an innocent
man, he expected to establish this fact
fully some day. 1t is believed that the
refusal by Harris to take advantage
of the opportunity to escape will have
some weight with the governor in de-
Gliding his case

A SOCIETY NOTR-

Whatever may be thought of the real
usefulness of the Paul and the Polly Prys
there Is no doubt that, like new news
paper, they meet more or less long felt
want. Before they came into being and
activity few men and many women hadn't
any way of impressirg on their race an
adequate understanding of their az
complishments and their social rank. Now
they can easily do it. And the Pauls and
the Pollys are both kindly and impartial.
They take people at their own valuation,
which is, by the way, as good as the valus-
ton of anybody else, and the result is that
Society Is composed of people who are
just as charming, accomplished, elegant,
gracious and entertaining as 1t is possible
for human beings to be. There may pos
sibly be few better people in Heaven, but
there will be none more pleasant to "mees"
there.
Probably the beat thing the Pauls and
the Pollys do for the world is to make the
importance of Womsn clear. And Woman,
with her usual shrewdness and regard for
the rest of the world, takes full advantage
of the opportunities afforded her by the
Court Journals. This accou nts, we sup
pose, for the descriptions of weddings with
which the Court Journsls abound. The
Pauls and the Pollys know what ia needed
and wanted and they come fully and noby
up to what is expected of them. Therefore
we resd daily how some splendid woman
hoe oh of hu
allowing him to lead her to the altar
and take the consequences of his action.
The effort is to show in choice and chosen
words what a bargain the man has got for
his love or his money. For instance, we
| read in New York Court Journal that
| Miss Eleanor Daer, daughter of james G.
K. Duer, the banker, granddaughter of
| James Gore King, sister of William A.
Duer, who married a daughter of William
R. Travsrs, and descendant of William
| A. Duer, who was president of Columbia
college in 1920, and of John Duer, who
was judge of the superior court in 1857,
became at noon the wife of Joseph
Larocque, jr., son of Joseph Larocque, a
well-known lawyer.
This isn't a circumstance to the honors
loaded upon some men by the Court Jour
nails when they are married, but 1t will do
| as an illustration. And the Pauls and the
Pollys only do their plain duty when they
thus put Man and Woman in their proper
relations to each other. They have to eliI
their trolleys when Lord Is married tc
nothing but an American princess, but
such an occasion is rare, and they CON usu
ally run smoothly and regularly in their
descriptions of weddings.

MOE FOUND.

Postmaster Sper:y has come back from
and he hadn't been home more
than twenty minutes when an emissary Of
the Register visited him to hear him laugh
at the compliment paid him by his fellow
citizens in asking for his reappointment
as Postmaster. For days bsfors his return
the Register had exercised its wonderful
imagination in picturiDg to itself the mirth-
full spectacle and its marvellous power of
dei cription in describingit. 1t was go
confident that its programme would be
carried out that its emisssry had photo
graphing machine with him and also q
phonograph, the intention being to pub
lish the Postmaster's laugh by wood cut in
the columns of the Register and to keep 1t
on tap by phonogrsph at the Register Of
fee.
But though the Register by magnificent
burst of enterprise succeeded In disoov-
eripe Westville and Parson Isbell, 1t didn't
discover Postmaster Sperry in the act OF
laughing at the non partisan movement to
keep him where he can do tbs most good
to the people of New Haven. The Regis
ter's thrice-armed emissary found occasion
to use only one of his instruments-the
pencil. And this pencil had to be used to
graphically or graphically chow the Post
masters appreciation of the honor done
him by his fellow citizens, and his willing
ness to further serve them IL he were al
lowsd To do 80. His view of the situation
is Enthusiastically sensible. If he took
any other he would deserve being laughed
at as heartily as the Register expected him
to laugh at his "snen,ies" who are engaged
| in expressing their appreciation of hi
quality as a citizen and as postmaster.
But if the Register hasn't been able T.
publish Mr. Spsrry's laugh 1t haspuolishe'
its own. It has had lot of fun. Almos
as much as the small boy who is hungr
and has to wait until the company" goe

THE REAL MEANING.

1t is well enough to get promptly at the
real meaning of the action of Union labor
concerning the Manual Training School.
1t should be clearly understood by all in
terested, and the sooner 1t is so understood
the better.
1t is the same old story. Union labor
asserts its fright" to do the work on the
proposed building and 1t demands" that
that Fright" be recognized by the repre-
sentatives of all the people of New Eaven
and by all the people as we'll.
In 30 asserting its Fright" 1t coolly leaves
out of account the rights of all the work
ingmen of New Haven land they form q
large majority who do not belong to the
Union. Such workingmen, according to
the Union, haven't even right to live.
To be sure, the Constitution of the United
States aud the general opinion of civilized
mankind differ with the Union on this
point, bat the Union has never been in the
habit of minding little things like that.
So much for the Fright" Now what is
the demand" 1t is that the representa-
tives of all the people of New Haven and
also all the people of New Haven recog-
nize and establish "right" which would
be a wrong to by far the greater part of
the useful Inhabitants of the city, which
would be subversion of the great princi-
pies of liberty and equal rights on which
this country resta, and which would Get
up In New Haven government within
government, whose acts could not fail to
be tyrsnnioal and wrong And New Haven
is requested to yield to a demand that
would enelave 1t.
This is the issue, plainly presented.
Union labor here, as elsewhere. asserts its
right to have what it wants, regardless of
the rights of others, and it sets itself up as
the proper and the rightful government.

COMMUNICATIONS.
A Sensible Suggestion.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
Kindly allow me through your columns
to refer to one matter in the hope that some
one will take 1t up and do something
about IT,
In 1871 when a student In the Yale the
ological seminary iirst visited the jsil on
Whslley avenue to try to do some good to
a prisoner under condemnation of death.
Over the entrance to the jail proper were
the words dunn spiro spero, I. e "While 1
live 1 have hope" 1t seemed very help
full suggestion that over the door of the
prison there should be message of hope
for every prisoner whose heart would nat
| urally be losing hope as he entered that
place. Yesterday when again visited the
same jsil to visit another inmate 1 saw the
same words in their old place. Ny sug
gestion is: How much more helpful 1t
would be if the words could be put into
English instead of Latin, and also put on
the walls inside where prisoners might Of
| ten see them. Very few can read Latin and
very few would look up over the door as
| they first enter the jail. Bat the present
widespread desire to bring helpful infiu-
| encee to bear on those who are confined
in prisons would rightly lead us TO put
any inspiring words and thoughts where
they might do good to such people. As
my work as foreign missionary does not
permit me to do much for the city which
was long my home, 1t seems the more in
cumbent to do by deed or suggestion the
little that an occasional visit permits.
Early tomorrow morning have TO leave
town; but I hope some one will feel led to
consder the feasibility of the above sug-
gestion, and, If feasible, to carry 1t out.
In this connection 1t Ia pleasure 10 add
that yesterday a number of Christians
were visiting the prisoners and trying to
help them by giving reading matter and In
other ways. K. A. HUME.
