ANARCHIST ESCAPES
Gardell Gets Away From
the Penitentiary and is
Still at Large.

John Gardell, the French anarchist and
sneak thief, who was caught in the Town
of Union after having committed num-
Der of robberes, made successful escape
from the Snake Hill penitentiary shortly
before noon yesterday and is still at large.
The police of all the municipalities of this
and neighboring counties have been noti-
fed and it is believed that the convict will
be captured before long.
There is evidence that Gardell had out
side help to aid his escape. He was work
ing in one of the quarries to the south of
the Penftentiary building and his prison
garb, large sheet of wrapping paper and
a piece of twine were found near there
after his disappearance was discovered.
From this evidence it is believed that the
convict had an accomplice who secreted a
suit of clothes in the neighborhood which
Gardell exchanged for his striped suit at
favorable opportunity.
Gardell was sent to the Penitentiary on
May IA last for one year. He was a
quiet and orderly prisoner while there.
Soon after Keepers Ellaby, Kolby and
Donnelly brought a gang of prisoners to
the quarry of Bacot & Edwards, where
the county is crushing stone for use on
the Newark Turnpike, Gardell was missed
from the gang. 1t was concluded that he
had dropped out of the line and secreted
himself on the walk from the prison.
Colonel Grimes, the warden of the insti-
tuition, was at once notified, and keepers
were sent in every direction to find the
prisoner before he got away from the i'm
mediate neighborhood of Snake Hill.
One report received was to the effect
that man answering Garden's descrip-
ton dressed in light suit was seen going
rapidly over the meadows in the direction
of Jersey Lity. 1t is believed that he
boarded a freight car on either the Erie
or Lackawanna roads, near st. Peters
Cemetery, and in this way made good his
escape.
Garden when arrested said he lived in
Br~ssA IN, and the police of that city are
searching for him. He is 36 years old,
weighs 14o pounds, dark complexion and
many tattoo marks on his body. One of
these is a picture of a leading Italian an
archlst.
