Chained in a
 Steel Cage


 I have broken out of a state prison in Germany; I've broken out of ar asylum there; I'll break out third time, and you'll see me back here with in two years," exclaimed William Frederick Ignatz Schoo yesterday morning to officers of the steamer Flu erst Bleucher, who had gone to look at him in a a special steel cage placed aboard for his accommodation. His hands and feet were chained to rivets in the cage, and there were two Ger man police officials to guard him. so that there seemed no immediate danger that he would put into execution his threat to break his bonds.
 SchOo is believed to be one of the most desperate criminals ever sent out of this country. Iie terroriZed the in- mates of Ludlow street jail during his short stay there whipping several pris- oners and nearly killing one of the keepers, until it was found necessary to keep him in solitary confinement. His final exploit consisted in attacking the deputy United States marshals who were trying to take him from the Ham burgAmerican ste9mship pier. He was subdued after a fierce battle and the interior of the-carriage in which ne was taken was wrecked.
 T have been nearly blinded by men who used red pepper" said Deputy Marshal Frederick Bernard yesterday afternoon at his home, PAT avenue A. T have been stabbed several times, but in my long experience I have never had to handle so dangerous man."
 
 take Schoo to the steamer and there to turn him over to Police Commissioner Hirsch and his assistant, Hanson, who had come here from Hamburg. Ac- companied by Deputy Marsha,s Car diner and Anker. he went to the jail in a coach at 6:3O o'clock. Schoo had not been notified that he would be removed yesterday, as the keepers believed that it would be easier to handle him if they took him unawares.
 He knew that there was something orn hand when he was awakened at the unusually early hour. and he resisted attempts to lead him toward the door. When he reached the front of the jail building he was handcuffed to Gardiner and Anker, one of his wrists being fastened to that of each of the mar shals. They entered the coach and Bernard took seat by the side of the driver on the box.
 For a few blocks all was quiet with in. Then Gardiner gave shriek.
 He is breaking my arm!" he yelled. Help, help!"
 With his strong right arm Schoo had given a wrench which nearly broke the left wrist of the marshal. Gardiner pleaded with his associates to turn back and to go to the jail, so that he could have the handcuffs removed. He writhed with pain. Bernard jumped down from the box and put his face in at the open window. The struggling prisoner kicked at him viciously, land ing his foot on the marshaTs breast. Bernard staggered back and fell on the pavement. He was badly jared by his fall. He jumped up, pointed his re- vOlver at Schoo and yelled: I'll shoot you down like dog unless you stop The carriage was then in Bleeeker street, near Mulberry, and Marshal Bernard decided to go to police head quarters to apply for additional help to subdue his prisoner. lie went inside while two policemen remained by the coach to aid the marshals in subduing Schoo. The sergeant at the. desk said he had no authority to assign any de- tectives to go with the United States marshals, and Bernard was turning away when a detective sergeant vol unteered his services.
 There was no attempt to temporize on the part of the detective. Pulling his revolver, he pressed the barrel against Schools head and swore that he would blow out his brains unless he remained perfectly quiet. This attitude calmed Schoo, who lay back, panting.
 The journey to Hoboken proceeded
