ran, Allen, and Russell.
Il have read with surpri5e. not uE-
mingled with much stronger feeling.
the report In this mornings New York
papers, OF their escape from the Ludlow
street Jail. and cannot wade the opin-
ior tnat somebody Is responsible Tor their
escaTe.
Knowing the desperate character Of
these criminals and their long and sue
cessfpl careers as thieves and burglars,
as also the Plentiful means which they
were reported 10 have at their command
for corruption purposes, l have been
learned that they had been permitted
TO change their personal appearance,
since their Incarceration, with the evi-
dent purpose Of evading identity when ar
raigned for trial.
'"rheir record as burglars is a long and
dangerous one, and this department was
greatly pleased and relieved when il
learned that, after months of patient and
expensive pursuit, they had finally been
hunted down and arrested.
I'm accordance with your request
have to-day offered a reward Of 1900
for the recapturc of each Of them, but
while l believe such action on my part
proper. and necessary. ! submit to you
that those whose carelessneSs, or crimi-
nality. has made II necessary, should be
held to a stern accountability therefor.
Il have the honor to be,
- Very truly yours,
