HOLDS PURsUERs AT BAY.
Escaped Convict Creates Amusement
for Thousands.

London, Dec IA convict at the
Pentonville prison who managed to
elude the warders, has established
himself ON the roof of the institution
and for the last 80 hours has defied
all attempts to dislodge him. Thou
sands of spectators are watching the
show and aiding the prisoner by timely
warnings of the movements Of his
would-be captors. Ladders placed
against the wall are promptly thrown
down by the occupant of the roof,
whose reckless movements and wild
laughter at the futile efforts of the
warders are thought to indicate in
sanity. The fugitive has collected a
large pile of states, which he gleefully
throws at the heads of the officials who
attempt to scale the wall by means Of
ladders until they are forced to retreat.
At noon he was still holding the Off
cials at bay.

Of wood.
