all in their power to lengthen and make
pleasant the declining years of those who
become inmates of the home.
An application was received from Mrs.
Mary Gessken, seyenty-fve years old,
of No. POS Seventh street, for admittance
to the home. Mrs. Gessken has been a..

HIS ESCAPE A MYSTERY

Odicials connected with the Oakland
avenue police station are mystifed over
the escape of thirteen -year-old Joseph
Coftis, of No. 377 Johnston avenue, from
one of the cells in the women's prison.
The escape occurred some time yester-
day morning
Young Cortis, along with Frederick
McCabe, twelve years old, of No. 2S3
Van Horn street, and seyen-year-old Jo-
seph Burns, of Communipaw avenue
were held Wednesday morning last by
Police Justice Murphy in the Second
Criminal Court on charges of breaking,
entering and larceny. They are accused
of having on Sunday last broken into
the laundries of Wah Lee, No. 312 Pa
cifc avenue, and Wah Tung, No. 242
Pacific avenue, and stealing $3.50 in
cash, an alarm clock and box of tea.
The seven-year-old lad turned States
evidence and was paroled until he could
get bail, which his parents subsequently
procured. Then McCabe's parents Sc
cured bail for young AIcCabe.
Young Cortes did not secure bail, and
was left in his cell on the second tier of
the prison in the rear of the station
house. He slept through Wednesday
night and was waiting for his breakfast
yesterday morning. Along about break
fast time he was seen in his cell by jan
itress Margaret Brimhall, Matron Wyatt
and Doorman Startup. But before
eleven o'clock his cell door was discover
ed open and empty.
Search was made of the premises, but
the young prisoner could not and has
not vet been found.
There were no marks on the cell door
or lock to show that the lock had been
tanapered with. 1t is supposed that the
lad climbed to the roof OF the prison and
dropped down to the roof of a shed in
a neighboring yard, and from there to
the ground. Such escapes have been
made by boy prisoners before. Janitress
Brimhall, Matron Wyatt and Doorman
Startup have all three made statements
to Chief Murphy exhonorating them
selves and declaring that the escape is
a mystery.

Family Aroused by g
Strangers Fake That a
Fortunes Theirs
Nothing Doing.

Mrs. Meaney and her two daugh-
ters are endeayoring to lind out
the identity of young man who came
to their home, No.-15S Bay View avenue,
and told them their uncle James Meaney,
of Colorado. had died and left them
fortune. He informed them that he
was their own cousin, William Meaney.
On last Sunday evening this youth ap-
peared and introduced himself as Viii
liam Meaney, of loCorado. their cousin.
He said that his father, James Meaney,
had recently died and in his will he
left one-fourth of his whole estate to a
widow, Margaret and her two daughters,
living in Jersey City, the same residing
at No. 15S Way View avenue.
He told them he had come on to OBJ
tain their share of $4,000, at present in
the Corn Exchange Bank of New York.
He said that his father owned large
ranch in Colorado and also real astete
in numerous other States; also stocks
and bonds in a large number of railroads
and corporations throughout the United
States.
So straight did he tell the story that
he aroused the daughters to a state OF
great anticipation to think such fortune
should be left them and they would rot
have to work But their mother disbeliev-
ed his tale and made light of it. During
his conversation he repeatedly said he
was in earnest about it.
Before he left that night he told them
to prepare for Wednesday afternoon, as
he would return to take. them over to
the Corn Exchange Bank to draw all OF
part of $4,000, their share of ready cash.
The two girls stayed home from work
on Wednesday in anticipation of going
with him to obtain this money. but he
didn't show up on this day.
Mrs. Meaney asked Detective Frank
Bennett to see if he he could find out
who this man was She believes him
some kind of bunco man, although he
did not ask for any money or obtain any
security She thinks he thought they had
no money and so gave UP whatever kind
of a game he was working.
