Airship FIie. nd Coney IsIand

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Coney Island
saw a real airship flight and crooked
its neck for twenty minutes watching
a pretty and skillful piece of aerial
navigation. With the big dirigibie
balloon made famous by Baldwin as
the California Arrow, Leo stevens
sailed all around over Brighton Beach,
going up as easily as a bird and, after
circllng around two dozen times, COM
ing down like a feather. The beauty
of the fight was the apparent ease
with which the aeronaut did every
thing he wanted to do. The arrow an
swered her helm like a racing yacht.

ter. 1t was only twenty feet across
this strip, and eighty feet down the
road the two roads became one again.
A young woman had been to the viii
lage to make some purchases, and in
returning with her horse and buggy
some part of the harness gave way.
She was out on her feet making re-
pairs when the colonel came along.
He was not on her side of the island,
and he had liberty at stake, but he was
a Don Juan in his way. Here was a
damsel in distress, and he could not
pass without offering her his assist
ance. He left his buggy and crossed
over and bowed like a cavalier of old
and said:
Fair ladye, observe that you need
assistance. I shall be f1attered if al
lowed to offer it,
He had forgotten his false wig and
whiskers, which were easy to be
spotted at close range. Also. the fact
that he was talking to the unromantic
daughter of a hard-headed farmer.
She took him for a brigand instead Of
a knight, and began to scream. Be
tween her screams the colonel manag-
ed to compliment her on her looks and
admit that his heart had been touched
at first sight, and in throwing one COM
pliment after another he gradually
drew nearer. The damsel in distress
was too frightened to run away, but she
was not too frightened to think of re-
sistance. The colonel certainly looked
tough in his disguise, and his seductive
voice couldn't make up for it.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-08-03

The plan as developed was to resort
to bribery pure and simple. The colonel
had been in prison for six months, and
had been made a "trusty-" In other
words, he was a messenger who had
the freedom of the yard. In being sent
from shop to shop he passed near the
gates. During the day these gates were
opened many times to give 1ngress or
rifle stood there and there were other
guards on the wall above him. pris-
oner who should make bolt of it would
be shot down at once. The idea with
us was to bride the gate guard to let
the colonel pass on a load Of chairs go
ing out. The man hauling away the
chairs for shipment was freeman, and
he must be bribed. The man who al
ways accompanied him to assist in the
unloading at the depot was a convict,
but one of the Oldest TRUSTEES about the
institution. He must be fixed.
Here were three men to be won over,
and one of them a prison official IT
they could be won they would stoutly
insist that the affair go off so that they
should not be compromised. We had to
move slowly and cautiously in the mat
ter. There was money IN plenty TO 90
with, but there was need OF diplomacy
as well. The first man to be won over
was the gate guard. The discipline was
such that the guards were changed
every other day, but the change was
only between two men, one was
| single nan--the Other married. we Sc
lected the latter, although we judged
him to be less yielding than the former
As a man of family, with his bread and
butter at stake, he would either betray
us at once in hopes to make himself
more solid with the warden, or he
| would stop and think it over, and end
| by taking our bride. Our line of rea-
soning was correct He bluffed bit
and then agreed to think it over, and
a week later he was our man.
| We has Hff1a frn41hla with the driver.
He was also a married man, but his
wife had gone west and he wanted to
join her and buy a farm. It was sole
! ly question of pride with him. It was
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-08-03

for him to bring over his trusty, and
that was soon accomplished. When we
had our men secure the plan was this:
The colonel was to be passed out in
