PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1s.-Evan L. Bellor, 90
years old. an inmate OF tho Soldiers Home at
Leavenworth, Kan., came hero yesterday and
was q witness to-day In q civil suit before Q
Master. One Of tho lawyers in tho proceedings
ascertained that Beller was an escaped convict
from Moyamensig prison In this city. having
broken out Of that institution on Oct. o, 1867.
He had been sentenced to six years imprison-
ment on Aug. 10. 1867. for assault and battery
with intent to kill. Bellor was locked up to-day
at Police Headquarters. He made q statement
that he left Philadelphia when no escaped. but
had several times returned and made no at
tempt to conceal his identity.
Three years ago, while in this city, he In.
formed the police authorities Of his antecedents.
but no record Of his imprisonment could be
found. and no attention was paid to his story.
To-day. after q careful search Of the record, the
fact OF his conviction and escape was found to
be true, and he was held for further
investigation. His release will be sought
under habeas corpus proceedings tomorrow
and It is regarded as problematical after the
long lapse OF years and his residence in another
State whether he can be returned to prison 10
servo out his sentence of six years. He is said
to have been the only convict who ever escaped
from Moyamensing Prison.
