LIFE OF A FUGITIVE
CONVICT, RETURNED TO PRISON,
TELLS STORY OF WANDERlNGS.
HOPES THUS TO GAIN A PARDON
Honesty and Industry for Years Ad-
vanced as Reason for EXecu-
tive Clemency.

Leavenworth, Kas.-William Janu'
airy, otherwise known as Charles w.
Anderson, has made a detailed report
to Major r. w. M~cClaughry, warden
of the federal penitentiary, covering
his whereabouts and employment in
the nine years of his liberty.
The statement of January opens b.
telling how he and another prisoner,
Walter A. Axton, escaped on the
night of Oct. 9, 1898. After scaling
the wall they walked toward Atchison
and hit in the timber the next day,
reaching Atchison the second night.
There they separated, and January
caught a freight train, thus making his
way to Wichita.
Three days after arriving in Wich-
tia January found that Axton had fol
lowed him, and they left there togeth-
er and got work in a rock quarry at
Winfield. They worked there for two
months, when AXton either accident
ally shot himself or committed suicide
with a revolver. January worked in
the quarry another month.
Early in 1899 January says he start
ed to sell tea and coffee. He travelled
through southern Kansas, part of Mis-
souri, and into Oklahoma with a man
who owned a horse and light wagon.
This he did for more than a year, and
then went to Kansas City, where he
solicited for an insurance company,
saving his money, and later engaged
in the same business for himself for
more than two years. This was fol-
lowed by employment with the Met
ropolitan Street Railway Co. for over
q year..
