That the efforts to protect Dodge are

by the manner in which his arrival was
received yesterday. Even before the

reached her dock a process server
forced his way into the presence of
District Attorney Jerome with paper
demanding the release of the prisoner.
This officer was hustled unceremonious-
ly from the office by Mr.. Jerome. who
after refusing to accept the paper on
the ground that. Dodge was a federal
prisoner and that he was not at that
time in New York county, thrust the
paper in the officers pocket and Selling
him by the collar, rushed him out
through the door. Before. going away
the process server tossed the paper
back through the open door on the floor
of the district attorneys Office When
the steamer arrived several attorneys
were on hand to represent the prisoner.
but he was hurried TO police headquar-
tiers, where for many hours he was sub
jected to what the ponce call the third

helpless prisoner, his life in constant
jeopardy, for nearly an hour. Ecken-

is l2 feet high, all morning, when at
noon, desiring 10 descend TO lunch, he
found the tackle Ivy which he was sus-
pended refused to work. EcSenroth ana
his partner Joseph Maxwell, upon tax
ing the guiding contract, decided TO use
a block and tackle instead o, scafioldlng.
They climbed inside the steeple, and
nearly at the top bored hole and with
twine pulled up block and tackle.
Yesterday, suppa-ted only by the tackle,
EckenrCth was working, while Maxwell
was on the ground. As the steeple
clock struck IL Eckenroth started to de-
scend Suddenly rope became
"choked" and Eckenroth found himself
unable to move. There was danger that
the rope might break, and Eckenroth
clung to the foot of the cross. Finally
he withdrew one hand from the foot OF
the cross and from his pocket abstracted
knife, bit of paper and pencil
Slowly be scrawled "Rope is choked;
send up another tackle quick" Open
ing the blade with his teeth, he shut it
down on the paper and threw the knife
below to Maxwell, who quickly climbed
up the inside of the steeple and, with
another piece of twine, pulled up sec
ond block and tackle, by which Ecken-
roth descended safely to the ground.
