NOTORIOUS CROOK
MAKES HIS ESCAPE
FROM HOSPITAL

Bridgewater. Mass. May l-Arthur w.
Chesterfield OF New York city. wanted In
Worcester, Fall River. Everett and many
other New England cities and towns for
his alleged connection with series OF
burglaries, some time during the early
part of today made a mysterious escape
from the Brdgewater hospital for the
criminally insane.
Chesternelds room was found vacant
when the attendant made his usual morn.
ing round The door was locked secure,
ly and the bars at the window were in
tact, but there was no trace OF the former
occupant. None OF the doors leading to
the outside yard showed any signs of hav-
ing been tampered with. Surrounding the
hospital is a high stone wall supposed TO
be unscalable without the aid OF lad
der or rope, but nothing was found here
TO show how the prisoner could have got
out.
From all these circumstances the hospi-
tai authorities thought II probable that
Chesterfield must have had some assist
ance from outside.
Chesterfield. who Is sometimes known
as Thomas Fineran, Is well known 10
the police OF several New England cities
He is supposed 20 have been one OF
gang OF five men who left New York city
for series OF wholesale burglatles IN
New England last fall.
Chesterfield was arrested. tried ana
found guilty OF breaking and entering and
sentenced 20 the state prison at Charles
town. Officers from Worcester came with
writs OF habeas corpus, however, and TOOK
the prisoner TO that city, where ne was
tried on several counts OF breaking and
entering and sentenced 20 state prison.
But even then Chesterheld's troubles were
not over, for, following closely upon the
action of the Worcester authorities, the
Fall River police served writ or habeas
corpus upon the prisoner and he was
taken to Taunton, where ne was Drought
before the superior court on complaint
with II counts OF breaking and entering
charged against him.
Chesterfield pleaded guilty TO two points
and volunteered information as TO where
some OF the stolen property could be round
and it is said also made some statements
implicating his companions. Sentence was
not rassed upon him at the time, such ac-
tion being deferred until June and Ches-
terrified was taken back 10 the state prise
at Charlestown. Chesterfeld's stay In the
state prison was not OF long duration.
however. for he soon began 10 act
strangely. lie was examined TOT MS SAN
ity and upon the report OF the alienists
was sent 20 the Bridgewater hospital for
the criminally insane.
Here the hospital authorities say, his
general health improved and he gave lit
tle trouble. but still had hallucinations
that he was being prosecuted.
AT the hospital today the following de-
scription was given OF the missing man
Age % years, height 5 feet I inches,
weight III pounds. He had brown hair
and blue eyes and when the institution $
attendants last saw him he wore the
regulation hospital garments OF reddish
brown with a brown striped shirt and
slippers.

strained to agree with the Judge who pre-
sided at the trial that the verdict must
