Henry Tells Of That Escape Down
In Ohio,

Deputy United States Marshal George
Henry sat at the door of the United
States court yesterday and held nc
long talks with those who went in and
out. Mr.. Henry lost prisoner last
Thursday night down in Ohio and he
didn't want to talk about it. He was
cheered by the knowledge that prison
ers had escaped from other marshals
Deputy Henry was in the same posi-
ton that Aid. Donahower was four
years ago when he took a young man
named Spellman down East and was
careless enough to lose him. Col. Tim
Sheehan had an Indian up IN the
Northern part of the state about three
years ago. The Indian had committed
murder or some other Indian mis-
demeanor and the colonel was taking
him Off to durance vile. The car in
which the colonel and the Indian sat
was filled up by officers of the United
states court. but the Indian took a
header out of the window and that was
the end of him for that time.
1t was therefore hardly fair yester-
day for Mike Redding to sit out in the
halfway OF the federal building while
George was on the door of the court
room and whistle THE Heart Bowed
Down." In self defense Henry had TO
tell a reporter for The Globe how
1T happened.
