MURDERER
ESCAPES.
Worked for Months Digging
a Tunnel Under Free
hold Jail.
HISDESCRIpTION SENT HERE
He Is the Negro Who Killed
the Red Bank Chief of
Police.
HIS DESCRIPTION SENT HERE

William Bullock, the negro, who shot
and killed Chief of Police James Walsh,
of Red Bank, in December, of last year,
and has since been tried three times for
the crime and twice convicted of murder
in the first degree, escaped from the
Monmouth County Jail last night. He
had not ben caught up to late this after
noon. He is a desperate negro.
The crime for which he was convicted
was cold blooded affair. The Chief of
Police. arrested Bullock on a warrant
The negro was allowed to go back into
his house to secure an additional pair of
trousers. When he appeared again, he
had a revolver. He deliberately shot at
the officer, killing him almost instantly.
Bu-ock escaped from the Jail in a novel
manner. HIe dug a hole through the con-
crete floor of his cell, which was on the
lower tier. Through some defect in the
building of the Jail there was a large hole
beneath the row of cells. Into this cell the
negro crawled. G1e then dug a tunnel for
several feet and finally reached freedom
by digging beneath the foundation wall
The police are of the opinion that the
escaped murderer must have been ac-
quainted with the hole beneath his cell
and that confederates assisted him to get
away.
There is no doubt that the negro had
| been at work on the tunnel for long
time. 1t would take a man at least sew
eral months to complete the task ac-
complished by the escaped murderer.
Bullock must have worked at night on
the job. He rigged up a dummy on his
;oL hn ~,
the concrete floor and in this manner
| fooled the keepers.
When the keeper went to Bullock's cell
this morning. to give him his breakfast,
/ he saw what he thought was the negro
asleep. On entering the cell the keeper
found that the bird had flown. The cot
was moved from over the hole in the
F, floor and en- investigation the tunnel be-
meath the row of cells was discovered
| The police are mystified at the boldness
| of tn escape and can scarcely conceive
| ia man being slick enough to carry out
| plans of that sort unobserved.
Bullock was indicted by the January
Grand Jury, tried and convicted of murder
| in the first degree. The verdict was set
aside and a second trial held with a
struck jury and the jurymen failed to
agree. The case was brought up for the
third time last May and again a verdict
of murder in the first degree was brought
| in. A writ of error was secured and the
case was taken to the Court of Errors
and Appeals, where it is at present. The
authorities are sending descriptions of
the murderer throughout the country in
the hope of aiding his capture.
This is the description given OUT
''William Bullock, negro, convicted of
murder of James Walsh, at Freehold,
New Jersey. escaped from the Monmouth
County Jail during the night of the sixth
of September: height about 5feet inches;
weight about 1SO pounds; teeth in front
filled with gold; one tooth on the right

Time Organizations

The storm last night was disappoint-
ment to the members of the 400 Social
Club who had made elaborate arrange
ments to raise a Bryan and Stevenson
banner IN front of their headquarters,
Montgomery and Brunswick streets. The
members were determined, however. and
before a large aud ence they unfurld to
the breze one of the handsomest and most
expensive campaign banners that has been
raised in the county.
1t was estimated at eight o'clock that
over six thousand people had gathered IN
their neighborhood.
In front of the clubhouse platform
was erected for the speakers. 1t was
illuminated with Japanese lanterns ana
American flags. Previous to the raising
of the banner there was a grand parade
through the Fifth, Fourth and Third
Wards Over fifteen hundred men were
in line The line of march was Brunswick
street to Monmouth, to Mercer, down
Mercer past the Davis Club house, where
the club was given a grand ovation and
one of the best displays of fireworks ever
given any set of paraders. The men were
received from the steps of the clubhouse
by City Collector Robert Davis, Thomas
y. Z
| iff John Heavey, Peter Wedin, James Bill
| ington, Frederick Crandall, Colonel Robert
G. Smith, Sheriff Ruempler, and numerous
other politicians. They then proceeded to
Grove street, to Newark avenue, to First
street, to Monmouth street. Newark ave-
nue. to Third street. to Brunswick, to
Wayne, to Merseles, to Mercer to Mon
mouth, to Montgomery, to Brunswick,
and passed under the banner amid a storm
of applause. There they disbanded.
The ovation all along the line of march
was one that the members will never
forget. The houses were ablaze with
lanterns and decorated with American
| flags.
Every Democratic organization in the
ward and every social club partici-
pated in the parade and took an active
part in the banner raising. The organ
izations that took part in the parade
were:A0O Club, Fifth Ward Democratic
Club, Thomas j. Augney Association,
Dewey Club and John O'Brien Associa-
| tion.
Just as the parade was finished the rain
came down in torrents. The storm had
| little effect upon the crowd for it stood for

and congratulated the 400 Club upon its
popularity.

SMALL SIZED CYCLONE.
But the Storm Last Night Was
Not the Tropical
Hurricane.

The weather bureau announces for the
benefit of a long suffering public that the
fierce storm which struck these diggings
last night had no connection whatever
with TIE West Indian hurricane that was
about a thousand miles off, stroled some
where along the coast of Florida. The
small sized cyclone took some time to
gather its force, but when it hit it hit for
Keeps For a time there was ''somethin'
dom and water came down in buckets
full.
Little damage was reported from the
heavy down pour, as, there was an absence
of wind. There is no doubt that the
storm made things cooler for a time, but
today, as no one needs to be told, is just
as warm as yesterday.
The storm which struck this city late
last night wrecked the tent of a travel
ling photograph gallery that was located
at Johnston avenue and Grand street The
tent was ruined. The supports were brok-
en- and the canvas was torn in several
places. The owners of the business were
sleeping in the tent when it collapsed.
They We're forced to crawl out on their
hands and knees from under the ruins.
The damage was quite heavy. Many
plates We're ruined, besides other mater
ials used in the business.

PASSAIc RIPARIAN LANDS.
Tangle Confronts the State Board
Over Harrison Traot.

Riparian Commissioners Fisk and Far
rel heard an application of Lawyer Benja-
min D. Demarest of Newark, on behalf of
Catherine Brown, for grant of 224 feet
of riparian land on the Passaic River near
the bone factory. The matter was laid
over for the fixing of price.
Miller w. Moore, on behalf of Elizabeth
c. Benedict, made application for a ripaf-
ian grant to the land at the foot of Mid
dlesex street, Harrison. A lease of this
lnad was made to the town of Harrison
some time ago, but owing TO a deadlock
in the Town Council it has never been ac-
cepted and the money necessary to make
it binding was not paid by Harrison.
Mr.. Benedict claims he has bought the
land at the end of the street and that he
owns a number of buildings which have
been erected on it for many years. The
land was part of a large parcel the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company foreclosed
some years ago. Mr.. Benedict bought the
street end of the company, thinking the
title good.
The town will be notified of Mr.. Bene-
diets application, and the matter will be
considered at the next meeting of the
Board.

POLICE NEED BICYCLES.
Those Now in Service Couldn't
Catch a Scoroher.

Since the police department disposed of
Mounted Policeman Burke's horse, Burke,
who patrols one of the loneliest sections
of Greenville, has been forced to walk
about his post. The ground covered by
him equals that of any two men on the
force. The Greenville police are wonder

an animal to replace the one sold about a
month ago.
The bicycle police are badly in need of
new bicycles. The wheels now in use,
have been ridden steadily by the men for
two years and half It makes no differ
ence what kind of weather prevails the
wheels are used just the same, and the re-
suit has been most disastrous to the in

wheels run very hard and show signs of
being badly worn. Requests have repeat
edly been made for new bicycles, but no
attention has been paid to them.
