Charles Ely, recognized as a convict
who rode away from the New Mexico
penitenttary on the warden's horse
eleven years ago. yesterday exclaimed

surrendered. He was delivered into
the custody of Captain Christman Of
the New Mexico penitentiary last
night, and Immediately started on the
overland train for Santa Fe, where
he has two years of a four-year term
to serve for horse stealing. n
Sherlock was betrayed by a fellow
convict whom he discharged from a
position with the Grand Canyon Lime
and Cement company of Nelson, Ariz.,
where Sherlock had taken up a tract.
Sherlock was Jean Vatican since his
escape and lived an exemplary life.
For eight years he served as deputy
sheriff of Mojave county and ran
down many desperate criminals.
Captain Christman passed through
Albuquerque this morning with Sher-
lock in charge. Sherlock has evil
IDENTIFY decided to go back to the pen-i
itentiary and take his medicine, serv-
ing out the remainder of his former
sentence, which will now probably be
added to on account of his daring
escape from the prison.
A telephone message from Santa Fe
this afternoon stated that the officer
and his prisoner arrived there and
Sherlock was at once taken to the
penitentiary, where he was placed in
close confinement. His daring break
for liberty before has made the pres
ent prison administration cautious
and he will not be giver an opportun-
ity to escape again. 1t is reported
that Sherlock has a wife and family
I'm Arizona. 1t is probable that on
their account and on account of the
fact that during his eleven years of
freedom he has lived a peaceful law
abiding life, an effort will be madel
to either secure his release from the
penitentiary or a Communication of
sentence.
