GLASS CONFESSION TRUE.
Soldiers story Is Verified by the
Montreal Police.

In q telegraphic reply in response
to the inquiry made by the local au.
thOrities. Silas Carpenter. the chief
or detectives Of Montreal. Canada
stated that the confession which had
been made by Daniel Glass, a soldier
Of the Washington barracks, telling OF
mis- escape from Jail, was true, but
that no attempt to secure extradition
would be made.
Chief Carpenter said that Glass had
made the attempt on his cousins life
about four years ago, at Roxham, and
that he had afterward been placed
under arrest. While confined in a Jail
at st. Johns. he and another prisoner
managed 10 secure an opening, and the
two escaped. From that time nothing
had been heard of Glass until the tel
egram was received there yesterday
telling Of the mans confession.
Although Glass is a fugitive from
that place the authorities there do
not believe that the charge against him
warrants the necessary expenditure in
order 10 have him brought back "a
serve the remainder of his sentence
The soldier is stiII held at the Second
precinct, but will probably be turned
over TO the army hospital officials
some time this morning
The police of the precinct station
state that Glass has been acting very
strangely since his arrest, and that
they believe that his mind has become
unbalanced, as the result OF his worry
over the thought that he was fugitive
from justice.
