Drowning Possible.

Windsor, June l1.-Edward Clark
one Of the "trusty" prisoners. has es-
capped from the State prison here and
has either succeeded in getting away
entirely or has drowned himself The
officers and a posse of people searched
The woods all yesterday afternoon
without getting any trace of him and
to-day have been dragging Runny-
mede, an artificial lake in the Evarts
estate to which the fugitive was traced
yesterday, but no body has been found.
Clark is about 55 years old and
rather feeble. He was committed from
Montpelier for ten years and had serv-
ed about two years for committing as
sault on a woman. He was not able
10 work in the shop and so was en-
ployed on the outside. He was paint
ing in the kitchen Of the warden's
house across the street from the prison
and about two o'clock yesterday after
non the warden left him a few min
utes. When he came back the pris-
oner was gone. He was tracked down
a bank into the Evarts property and
he went directly to point on the
short of the lake where all trace of
him was lost, The tracks would in
dictate he was contemplating drowning
but to-day's search makes it seem
probable the body is not in the lake.
