INJURED IN HER ESCAPE

Carrie Knapp, who escaped from the
Womens Reformatory early Saturday
morning, was arrested last night by Detec-
tives Splan and Haley at S37 East Louisi-
ana street, where she was staying with a
family named Wright. The girl told the
officers that she had intended TO go TO
Frankfort Saturday night and if they had
been a few minutes later she would have
escaped arrest.
The girl said that she escaped from the
dormitoTy by tying three blankets together
and lowering herself from one of the win
dows. The blankets were too short and she
dropped about fifteen feet before she
reached the ground
The force of the fall stunned her and she
told the officers that for several minutes
she was unable to move. Gaining strength
she scaled the fence and walked through
side streets to the home of some of her rel
atives on West Washington street near the
Statehouse. Finding they had moved the
girl went to a place OIL McCarty street but

tory this morning.
