REFORMATION NOT ENOUGH.
Escaped Prisoner Became a Mode
Citizen but Was Taken Back.

Harry Roberts, the escaped convict
who, after living an honest life fot
four years, was captured and returned
to Jail, has been released from prison,
dying of consumption.
Eight years ago Roberts, the son of
a welltodo family of Binghamton, go,
into bad company and committed a
burglary. He was caught and SEN
fenced to Eve years in the Elmira re,
formatory.
He was a model prisoner and soon
was made trusty. One day, when
three years and eight months of his
term had passed, he, with two other
prisoners, was ordered to cut the
grass on the prison lawn outside the
walls.
Il was an opportunity for the others.
They agreed to escape. they tempted
Roberts, and although he had only
two weeks to serve to gain his release
on parole, the sudden desire for free
dom overcame him and be joined the
o her two in their flight. They got
away and separated.
A week after, a tall, good looking
young man, fairly well dressed, ar.
rived in the little town of Berwick.
He applied for place at a factory ana
got work, largely on account of his
frank face and honest manner. He
said his name was Morris McDale.
and nothing of his bearing indicated
that he had worn a convict's suit q
few days before.
He worked well, made friends. and
in q short time was che of the best
liked men in the shop.
His bashfulness was at first notable.
He did not like TO be seen on the
streets. For time he even avoided
his fellow workers IL was months
before he grew holder. and believing
that the search for him had been
dropped. ventured out with his friends
and met some Of the young people OF
the town. Among them was Mary
Souder, pretty, dark haired girl. TO
who he was especially attracted
In the meantime his careful work
at the shops had won him advance

he resolved to ask Miss Souder 10
marry him He could not decide
whether to tell her his past. and they
were married.
Days and weeks and months passed
and there was no sign Of search for
him A child was born. He grew
easier, except for the occasional fits
of anxiety.
A couple of weeks ago he walked
from the shops toward his home along
the main street of the town. He was
eager to get home to his wife and
baby. AS he hurried along there
flashed before his eyes a face he had
not seen for years and a voice he
knew cried: Hello, Harry" with a
marked note of surprise.
1t was only for instant, but he
had been unable to prevent the look OF
recognition which came into his own
eyes, and although he hurried on. APP
parently unheeding, he knew that the
hour he dreaded had almost come. IL
was now question of whether the
friend of former days was still
enough his friend to remain silent.
There was one precaution which
occurred to him. 1t was to fee. But
he could not leave his wife and child,
and he had not enough money to take
them with him. All that night he lay
awake thinking In the morning, on
some pretext, he induced his wife to
agree to move to Nescopeck, a town
across the river, where the chance of
discovery would be less.
But that did not save him. Several
days passea and then he heard the
old name, and this time it was Officer
H. M. Rifle of the reformatory, who
said
And so it is you after all this
time, Harry"
yes, and it's mighty hard luck
after four years." said the unfortunate
man, hopelessly.
Then came the trial OF telling his
wife, CT letting his friends know that
they had entertained and befriended
an escaped convict. Then he wished
he had spoken long before.
In the cell he told his wife, and
hardly had he finished when her arms
were about him and he was told that
she loved him more than ever for the
misfortune which he had to bear, ana
when they parted she vowed she
would use every effort to have him
pardoned.
His friends and the officials of the
works entered heartily into the plan.
and since his arrest two weeks ago "a
flood of letters has poured into the
New York state authorities, from Gov.
Odell down.
On Monday last the news came that
these efforts had been in part success,
full, and that Roberts, or McDale,
would be released on the following
day, but with the news there came to
his wife the information that her hus-
band was released on an invalid's
parole, that he had developed quick
consumption and has not long to live.
That is the story, but there remains
this to be told, that his wife and
friends, eager to have him Lack. have

States between 100000 and 600. 900
slave owners and slave hirers, and
there were 4.250000 slaves, or about

HARD FIGHTING
In PROGRESS

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-THE Russian
and Japanese armies wrestling below
Mukden seem now TO be definitely lock-
ed in a death struggle for mastery.
Field Marshal oyama Is countering
General Kuropatkin's thrust at the
Japanese right by an advance against
the Russian right. The situation. but
on a much larger scale. resembles that
at Vafangow, when General Stakelberg.
in essaying to turn the japanese right.
had his own right turned. The Japan
csc assumed the offensive Wednesday
against the Russian right. forcing the
latter to give ground. But along the
center. stretching from Yentai station
eastward, where General Nodzu also
attempted a desperate counter attack,
and where the fighting is the hottest.
the Russians held their own. The re-
suit at nightfall was a draw. This was
the latest word received by the war Of
flee from Kuropatkin up to noon
Thursday. but according to dispatch
to the Associated Press from Mukden,
the japanese resumed the offensive
again Thursday morning. No word
had come up to Thursday afternoon
regarding the operations of the Rus
sian turning movement on oyama's
right, on which the success of Kuro-
patkin's plan of battle seems to de-
pend. The war office is explaining that
reports from this point had not reach
ed Kuropatkin when he sent his dis
patch. and. consequently. information
is lacking of operations at the very
point where all eyes center and where
the heavy blow is evidently aimed. The
strength of the force with which Kuro
patkin has undertaken this turning
movement has not yet developed.
The mixed column which crossed the
Taitse river Sunday is now believed to
be General Rennenkampff's force, pro-
ably Joined to the other mixed columns
under either General Mostenchenko or
General Kashtalinsky.
Infantry and artillery engaged in
desperate fighting in the neighborhood

with these columns evidently marched

there now. The sheriff's office cannot

Meyer IF the governor had wanted
to be fair he would have ended martial
law, but left, say 80 soldiers there, to
deal impartially with all viOlatOrs of

all the troops and left the mob in con-
troll. He asks us to call off the strike
and will not allow our men to go back
