Pa, three weeks ago. two belated. low
ers passed the building and saw the
burglar at work. A posse Of citizens,
armed with guns. subsequently cap

ord. Chief Detective Miller. Of this
city, has forwarded a description Of the
man to Wllliamsport for the purpose of
establishing the Identity OF the prison.

unenviable American record. He was a
member of the New Rochelle gang.

try previous to 1874, when he was cap
tured and sent to Auburn prison for
twenty years. which term was complet-
ed one year ago. He has been engaged
in the burglary Of many suburban resi-
dences near New Rochelle, N. Y. The
Job which resulted In his capture was
the cracking Of safe in the east New
York depot Of the Jamaica, Woodhaven
and Brooklyn railroad, when the watch
man was bound and gagged and $4,000
taken.
Hurley proved a desperate prisoner.
and after two unsuccessful attempts
to escape, ne accomplished his object in
1882 by cutting his way through the
roof. The fugitive was recaptured in
the latter part of the same year and
served out his term.
A description Of Hurley was sent to
Chief Of Police Evan Russell. Of Will
Transport, for the purpose of further
Identification. With Patrolman Hughes
ne visited Hurley In the tail and the
latter was positively identified as the
notorious crook by the finding on his
right arm OF the tattooed eagle and row
Of stars. When Sheriff Fuller was ap-
priaed Of the desperate character Of his
prisoner an extra guard was placed at
Hurley's cell until ne can be turned
over to the United States authorities.
