NEW INSTRUMENT OF DEATH
Strange Outfit Found In a Convict's
Pocket In New York.


Warden Hagan of the Tombs has in
his possession n novel weapon, perhaps
the most dangerous ever taken from 4
prisoner, says the New York World.
The origin of this deadly implement
was an ordinary hypodermic syringe.
1t is the hypodermic syringe adapted
to crime. The slender, hollow needle
with which the puncture is made and
the drug injected in ordinary use is
made into Il sort of tiny blow pipe dart
which, when the piston is pressed, will
fly for a distance of several feet with
sufficient force to puncture the flesh
and remain buried in the almost imper-
ceptible wound it makes. Its hollow
core is large enough to carry sufficient
quantity of Il drug to cause speedy un-
consciousness or death itself
Pressed against a persons arm or
leg-or body in n crowd and the piston
showed hard the deadly dose would go
through any ordinary thickness of
clothing and carry it's fatal dose deep
into the flesh. Commissioner Lantry,
DIR. Campbell of the prison medical
corps and Il number of experts in GRIM
on, and all pronounced it not only
something new in the implements of
crime, but something more deadly in
its possibilities than they have ever
seen. I'VE found the thing hid away
in the coat lining of a notorious Grim
inal OF New York. said Warden Ha-
gan the other day. He was arrested
for highway robbery and is now serv-
recent use"
The warden, by way of illustration,
barely touched the end of the piston,
and the dart shot out and remained
sticking in the coat of reporter seated
fully four feet away. ''An the autop-
sizes in the world would not be likely
to reveal the cause of death in per-
son killed with this thing" lie said.
The implement was made for crimi-
nal purposes. Not long after the pris-
oner who had it was sent to prison Il
villainous looking scoundrel came here
and asked for the syringe. He had an
order from the convict for it, but 1
would not let him have it,
The syringe, two long. slender walls,
number of needles and a small ex-
tension tube. We're compactly slowed
away in little aluminium case that
could be slipped into the waistcoat
pocket. The extension tube is made
to fit into the end of the syringe, there
by extending it and making of it a
miniature rifle barrel, from which the
deadly darts could be thrown to n
much greater distance than from the
syringe itself. This particular outfit.
Commissioner Lantry says, is clearly
of foreign make.
