M'CURDY QUITS
MUTUAL LIFE
Insurance President Resigns, Says
New York World.
KINSMEN 60 With HIM
no Official Information Is Given 0ut
From One Source, However, the
Statement is Denied.

The New York World of Monday
published the statement that Richard
McCuAy. president of the Mutual Life
Insurance company, has resigned. The
time W On his resignation takes effect
depends only on the time required by
the trustees to find his successor.
Quickly following the retirement
OF President McCurdy, his son, Rob
ert H. McCurdy, general manager Of
the Mutual and his sonin.law, Louis
A. Thebaud, the general agent for New
York, have resigned.
A tentative order TO head the COM
pany was made 20 James B. Forgan,
president of the First National Bank
Of Chicago, who once was an Equita'
Bile director. His bank is one of the
leading financial institutions of the
middle west. Mr.. Forgan declined to
accept the offer
No official information was obtain
able at the Mutual Life Insurance
company's Office as to the report that
Richard A. McCurdy, president of
the company, had resigned.
Unoficially, however, 1t was learn.
ed that the companys finance COM
mittee is believed to have Mr.. Nc
Curdy's resignation under considera-
ton. II was learned also that the
connection of Lewis A. Thebaud. Mr.
McCurdy's sOn-in law with the COM
pany is expected to cease about Jan.
uHry 1.
Dr. Walter f. Gillett, vice prcsi.
dent of the Mutual Life Insurance
company, Monday night denied pub
lished reports that Richard A. McCur.
dy mad resigned the presidency of the
Mutual Life, and that Robert II. Nc.
Curdy had retired from the general
managership of the company. DR.. Gil.
lett, however, said that Louis A. The.
baud, sonin.law Of Mr. McCurdy, had
rolinquished the position OF the com.
pany's agent for New York. There IS,
said Dr. Gillett. no truth in the re.
port that the Mutual Life presidency

CONVICTS DASH
FOR LIBERTY
Use Guus and Kill Two Prison
Off and Wound Another.
- A MOST EXCITING CHASE
Bullets Flew Thick and Fast In Run
ming Fight Through StIeets..Au
Were Rscapture6.

In a desperate attempt to escape
from the state penitentiary at Jeffer-
son City, No., Friday afternoon, five
convicts fought for freedom with
weapons and nitro slycerine at the
prison gate, killing two prison officers
and wounding Deputy Warden See,
and four men made a dash through
the streets Of Jefferson City under
fire, only to be captured after two OF
the escaped men had been wounded.
Five prisoners, taking advantage of
the absence OF Warden Hall and six
guards, who left Friday morning with
seventy-one federal prisoners for Fort
Leavenworth, Kans, attempted to es-
cape, but only four left the prison
after wrecking the gate.
Convicts Harry Vaughan, Charles
Raymond, Hiram Blake, George Ryan
and Eli Zeigler, who were working
close inside the prison gate, having
secured pistols and bottle of nitro
glycerine, entered Deputy Warden r.
e. Sees once and shot him in the
arm as he sat in a chair. He sank
back helpless and the convicts rushed
to the gate, where they met Gateman
john Clay. Before Clay could raise his
H., hnk h..
victs then rushed through the gate
dragging Clay's body with them. They
slammed the gate shut and fastened
it. Zelgler was left inside.
The convicts placed nitro-glycerine
under the outside gate and blew an
opening through the steel doors. The
four men crawled through this rupture
and dashed through a number OF
"trusty" convicts who were working
in the street.
Almost before the four escaped con.
victs had covered block, prison of.
ticials were in pursuit, shooting as
they ran. The chase kept on for a
dozen blocks, the convicts outrunning
their pursucrs.
Near the Missouri Pacific railway
depot the conyicts came up with a
wagon driven by Oryille Lane. Jump.
Ing into this wagon the desperadoes
seized Lane and used him as a shield
from the bullets Of their pursuers.
one convict dashed the horse into a
run. and escape seemed sure, when
suddenly squad of city policemen
and armed citizens appeared and stop
ped the horse. Shielding themselves
as well as possible behind the sides
of the vehicle, the four convicts tough
the policemen.
Volley after volley was fired in the
street by both sides to the conflict.
The policemen sheltering themselves
behind trees. splntered the wagon,
finally putting bullet through
Vaughan and Bake, the latter falling
to the ground probably fatally hurt.
Then the convicts surrendered. Lane
and his horse and COnvicts Ryan and
Raymond were uninjurel. The con.
yicts were Immediately taken back TO
the penitentiary.
