resemblance
The prisoners have lied from the hour
Of thoir arrest Hunter acknowledges that
he was in New York on the day of the es-
cape from Ludlow street Jail, but Of
course denies that he knows the fugitives

hue and cry after Iilloran and his pals
and the reward offered for Yennie and
Carson, for while "a reporter was talking
to Hunter lie said quietly
You can't get any $500 reward out Of

plicos Wednesday, and a few hours later

Ter had only reached town two hours carli-
or. Tho men were locked up on a tochni-
cal charge Of vagrancy, ana telegram
