A Convict overawes the Men who
saved Him.

New York. April 4.-It was not until
Charles Wilson and his friend had pulled
drowning man into their boat that they
knew he was an escaped convict. His
stripes betrayed him.
They had rowed out into the Delaware
from I.ambertville y. j., drawn by his
wells for help He had been seized with
cramps in the middle Of the stream. As
he Law, doubled up and shivering, in the
bottom of the boat, Wilson and his COM
rade exchanged glance Of intelligence
and rowed toward Moore's Station. on
the New Jersey shore, where the Mercer
County Workhouse is situated. They
puessed-and the events proved the m
right-that he slipped past a guard swan
the canal and reached the river by
crossing the narrow strip Of land on
which the railway tracks run.
But they were still tugging against the
current when the man in stripes recoV-
cred. and. seeing whittier they were taxi
ing him. shouted: .
That's not where l want to go. Pull
me over to the Pennsylvania side

..Not a bit of it, retorted Wilson.
You're going right back where you came
from
The convict pulled himself to his feet
picked up an oar and swung ii over the
rowers' heads. shouting;
Turn this boat about and pull for the
other side. or I'll brain you"'
II was evident that he was in earnest
and that he would not listen to argument
A rough and tumble fight might easily
have resulted in the drowning OF all
three. Wilson and his friend bowed TO
the inevitable They put about and pulled
hard for the Pennsylvania shore. the
convict directed them to a thickly wooded
cove Jumped ashore and disappeared.
His two rescuers showed out into the
stream again and rowed with all haste
to the workhouse. where they gave the
alarm. Guards were sent across the river
to scour the woods in all directions The
fugitive must have found the pursuit
warm and a change of garb beyond ms
resources, for in the afternoon ne stole

shore and tried to stow himself away I'M
derneath a freight train. He was de-
tected in the act, however, and taken
back TO the workhouse.
