IN HIS OLD HAUNTs.
Francis, the Escaped Convict, Seen
Near Massachusetts state Farm.

SNal0 EelNNs
Brldgewater, Mass.-The Negro
criminal. Minot ST. Clair Francis, who
escaped from the state farm here 10
days ago. is concealed in the woods
within three miles of the institution,
II surmises founded on developments
OF the last "a hours are justified.
During the day there was a rumor
that a Negro answering Francis de-
scription called late Tuesday night at
house only 1-2 miles from the cen.
tire Of this town. though in lonely
locality, and that he probably passed
the night somewhere about the prem
ises.
The rumor. which had been con.
fined to the schoolhouse consldera.
BILE part of the day, reached the ears
of the authorities about p, M. and
Deputy Ghariff Simmons and Select.
man Rhoades started out to investl-
gate Mr. Rhoades Is the man VINO
deprived Francis of his club a week
ago last Monday, but failed to capture
him.
The child who brought the story to
school is the little daughter OF Mrs
Ellis, who lives on Forest street, the
road that runs from Bridgewater to
MlddlebOro. 1t Is a very lonesome 10
calitY and is in the vicinity of dense
woods, stretching away for long dis
tance.
Mrs. Ellis told Simmons and
Rhoades that late Tuesday night a
man called at her house and knocked
until she went to the door. She re
fused to open the door, and the man
shouted to her, asking for something
to eat.
She gave him to understand that
she would not give him anything, be
cause she did not propose to open the
door. He then. she says, asked to be
allowed to sleep somewhere about the
place, whereupon she told him he
might sleep in the barn. 1t was after
this time, she claims, that she got a
look at the mans face. through the
window, as he was turning to walk
away from the house.
She says that seeing that he was
mullato, she said, with a hope OF
frightening him away: "The police
are looking for you," at which the mar
responded in a somewhat nonchalaut
tone: Eyes. know they are, but they
are not going to catch me-"
She says he then went toward the
barn, but whether he occupied it dur
ing the night or not she does not
know. There was nothing in the con
dition of the barn in the morning to
definitely determine whether any one
had slept there or not.
AS Mrs. Ellis house is but short
distance from where a suspicious
character was seen last Monday, the
officers are now inclined to think that
Francis has been hiding in the woods
hereabouts ever since his escape, and
It is probable that the search OF the
