KATE 0'BR|EN BACK AGAIN
Returned to the Queens County
Jail After Her Escape.
Denies that She Was Beaten or Mis-
used by Her Captors.

LONG ISLAND CITY, Aug. 4-Consid-
cradle excitement was caused in the
Queens County Jail yesterday. when 1t
became known that Kate O'Brien, a
ninety-days prisoner, had made her es-
cape. The woman had been committed
one month ago, and as she appeared
to be well disposed, she was put to work
in the kitchen.
She was at work there as usual yes
terday morning, and was spoken to by
the Matron at $50 o'clock. Five min
utes later she had disappeared. Search
was made for her in the vicinity with
out success, and then runners were sent
In every direction.
About two hours later the woman was
captured two miles from the jail by
Warden McDougall and Night Keeper
Mccormick. AS the woman was in.
clined to resist, she was seized by the
arms and brought back.
The escape and recapture gave rise to
a story that after the woman had been
returned to jail she was brutally beaten
by her captors
story an Evening World" reported Wis
tied the jail in Long Island City to-day.
Warden McDougall, when seen, denied
the stGry yrS of the he e ssd that the
made her escape in the simplest manner
possible. All the help In the jail are
prisoners, and Kate O'Brien was at work
in the kitchen. When she got the Ma
irons back turned she simply walked
out. That is something that might hap
pen any time. as we cannot keep our
eyes on them all the time.
when she was recaptured she made
a pass to hit Mccormick and we caught
hold of her arms. That was the only
force used"
The reporter then entered the jail and
saw the woman, who. it was alleged, had
been ill-treated. No mark Of a bruise
OF any kind could be seen on her face.
at Is not true that any Of them beat
me-" she said. THE only thing rough
about 1t was that they held my arms
tightly. and when l asked them to let
