OWES LIFE TO
HIS COURAGE
Sheriff Chiningworth
Barely Escapes
Death.

deputy Sheriff Chillingworth would
have been shetland probably killed yes
terday but for his rare nerve ana pres
fence Of mind.
Charles Hefernan, a prisoner in his
charge, made a desperate effort to mur-
der him shortly after dark. Heffernan,
who had escaped from the police sta
ton where he was held on a forgery
charge, had been recaptured by Chill
lingworth and was being taken to Oahu
Jail when he drew a revolver and t.
| thrust it into his captor's face threat
ening to kill him. Chillingworth made
sudden move, overpowering Heffer
nan and doubtless averting tragedy.
| Heffernan is a man about forty years
old who has lived in Hawaii for many
years. Chillingworth knew him in
Maui ten years ago. Sometime ago
Heffernan after various escapades as a
hackman, laborer and stage driver,
married the daughter of William Good
ness who owns the Wailuku Stables,
and went to live with his father-in-law.
/ He was soon in money difficulties and
| It is said once drew a revolver on Good
ness to force him to give him funds.
Recently he went to Kauai and there
: passed forged checks to which Good
ness name had been signed. High
Sheriff Brown was written to about the
matter and when the fellow came here
he was arrested on a warrant sworn to
by Brown. He was unable to get bail
and remained in the police station, his
hearing being set for this morning.
McInerny Brothers accepted two
checks for SIS each bearing Goodness
signatures and when these were seen
by Sheriff Brown he swore to additional
charges of forgery. Heffernan was con-
fined with other prisoners in the sta
tion and yesterday morning was turned
into the prison yard ats o'clock. About
a half an hour later he was missed and
a hurried search proved that he was
gone.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth was
telephoned for and went to the station.
A further search failed to give any
clew but made it evident that the fugi-
tive had climbed over high iron gate
at the head Of a pair of stairs which
can be reached from the yard. Thence
he had gotten into the Office Of Sheriff
Brown and out of the window to the
street. Marks were found by which the
route was traced.
Sheriff Brown superintended the
hunt for the missing prisoner and un-
der his and Chillingworth's directions
officers wefe sent in every direction.
! All sort of clews were followed. Hef-
