Escaped Arrest by Suicide.

Joseph Laskey of Castleton was found
dead by Addison Lockwood of Chester
behind a stone wall near his building
Thursday evening at about Z o'clock.
Laskey was about 20 years old and has
been working for Mr.. Lockwood. 1t
seems that young Laskey was under
$500 bail for participating in fight at
Castleton short time ago, and was in
perpetual fear of his coming trial. 1t
was also reported that he had stolen a
bicycle in Fair Haven last week. Sher-
iii Spaf1ord of Springfield went to- the
house where he was employed Thursday
and attempted to arrest him. Laskey
ran as soon as he caught sight of the
officer and started down the road. The
officer gave chase, and called to Laskey
to stop or he would shoot. Finding
that the fugitive was not going to halt
Sheriff Spafford opened fire and emp
tied four chambers of his revolver at
Laskey, but with no effect. Nothing
more was seen of Laskey that day until
Mr.. Lockwood found him in the morn
ing. When found his body had no.
thing on but a shirt. By the side of the
dead man wasan empty Paris green box
and it is supposed that the fugitive
poisoned himself to escape arrest. The
body was taken to Castleton Thursday
and buried there Friday.

Three Prisoners try to Escape.

Three prisoners tried to escape from
the house of correction Saturday, and
one of them would have got away but
for warning given Keeper Smith.
The prisoner, whose name is Martin,
with two others, forced out the bars OF
the ventilating fiue in the roof, and
when a favorable opportunity came
started to escape. A prisoner who hap
pened to be in an adjoining room at the
time saw what was going on and noti-
fed the keeper. Keepers Smith and
Richmond reached the spot just as Mar
tin was getting out on the roof. Smith
ordered Martin to halt but he did not
heed the command and not until Smith
had fired several shots did he surrender.
The prisoners were put in dark cells.
