about a man I met roh the street tonight.
His name is Feltmaf-Ernest Feltman-
and he was sentenced to Blackwell's ISL
and three weeks ago for six months
term. And he's got out" The man said
his name was H. j. Frost, and that he
and Feltman had worked together In

searched up and down the island No trace

figure was crouched in the stern.
The boat turned suddenly from its course
and shot swiftly toward the reedy point.
That is lonely part Of the island, and
watchmen ran in that direction at once.
But they were not quick enough. The boat
swung close to the shore. the form of
Feltman rose out OF the shadows, and in a
moment he was beside the figure in the
boat.
The boat was splendidly handled, and,
in spite of the swirling currents and whirl-
pools there-it being Immediately below
He'll Gate-was rowed swiftly away amid
a volley of shots from the keeper.
Island boats put out in pursuit but the
fugitive was not overtaken. Then, last
night, came the strange report at Bellevue
Hospital. Frost, after leaving the hospital,
went to the East Twenty-second Street po-
lice station, and repeated his story He
said, too, that Feltman probably could be
found at the home of a young woman at
EOS East Twenty second Street, and the po-
lice went there, but all knowledge of Felt
mans Whereabouts was denied. And then
came the development of the love and re-
venge part of the story. The young woman

Former Congressman Harris Dead.

HARRISONBURG. Va, Oct. 16-Judge
John T. Harris, formerly Representative in
Congress from the Seventh District OF Vir-
ginia, died at his home here Saturday
night. His death was due primarily to
general exhaustion incidental to a heart
affection, which developed more than three
years ago. 1t was doubtless FASTENED by
a slight attack of pneumonia within the
last fortnight. Judge Harris had been
aware of his critical condition, and his
mental faculties were clear almost to the
hour of dissolution. There is distressing
coincidence in the fact that Mrs. Harris
mother, Mrs Catherine Miller, died Fri
day and was buried Saturday afternoon.
