There is saying that an honest de- tective would rather take graft than let a prisoner escape from him says the New York Evening Post.
 Viewing psychologically the rela- lation between a hypothetical central office man and captured fugitive from justice. it was thus that one of Inspector McCafferty's most unerring sleuths defined today the attitude of the average officer when charged with responsibility of conducting law breaker to the scene of his crime.
 He had in mind of course. the es- cape of Francis G Bailey, who was arrested in Honduras after te had get from this country with various

Strange Death Of Young Lad at
North Adams.

A fatal accident occurred in the
Greylock mill at North Adams Friday
night just before closing time, when
John Nolan Is. OF Williamstown, had
his neck caught In the elevator and
strangled to death.
The elevator was undergoing re-
pairs and had been stopped about two
feet below the level of the floor No
Ian was lying on the floor in third
story looking down watching the
workmen. Suddenly the elevator
was started upward and before the
boy could extricate himself, his neck
became caught between the elevator
and the floor, and he was choked to
death. No bones were broken. DR.
William A. Gavin OF Blackinton was
called but found the boy dead. AS
sistant Medical Examiner Homer
Bushnell investigated the accident.
The boy had been working in the
mill little over year and was the
only support of his mother, Mrs
Mary Nolan, who lives on the ST.
monds Road in the Coleville district
When the dead body of her son was
brought home, Mrs. Nolan tainted. A
physician was summoned and II was
an hour before she regained con-
seriousness. The boy was very
bright young fellow and was fav-
orite both with his fellow employees

WORKED FRAUD IN BRANDON
Claimed to be Canvassing for
Magazine.

A man who signed himeself h. A..
Ohier was canvassing the town the
latter half of May and, apparently,
got good pay for his time, says The
Brandon Union, for in return for the
$3.50 which he collected from each
person who bit he gave nothing but a
receipt. The receipt is valuable as a
souvenir, as ii is glaring bit of
proof of fraud
The man claimed to be canvassing
for magazine, yet the receipt does
not hint whether the owner had paid
for a magazine or horse and car
riage The price was left blank and
was filed in with pencil, and not al
ways for the amount. The receipt
reads: THE American Publishing Co.
guarantees each subscriber a decor
ated cottage dinner set with an
eighteen months subscription. The
premium will be given entirely free
with the first number" The address
is simply New York city and Boston
That first number, with which the
cottage dinner set is coming, being
overdue and not having yet arrived,
some OF the subscribers have written
to New York city and to Boston, but
the postmasters of those cities have
returned the letters for better direc-
tons.

failed to put in an appearance and
Manager Corbett was in a dilema. He
pulled out of the hole by getting in
telephone connection with Manager
Toohey Of the Hoosick Falls team who
put his players on car and started
them for Bennington. The car went
off the track about mile out of Ben
nington and it was after four o'clock
when the game began.
Because of a spraiped ankle Pit
cher Lennon could not go into the
game and a catcher who was to have
come from Albany with Lennon, also
failed to appear. 1t was accordingly
up to Mcclure and Matt Mahr, the
young St Michaels college catcher,
to occupy the points.
Mcclure pitched an excellent game.
He allowed Hoosick but four singles.
In only one instance did the batting
of the visitors figure in the making
of the four runs scored by Hoosick
The first run, made in the second in
ming, was hatted in by Pitcher Cook
The other three, two in the fourth
and one in the sixth were all made
on errors Mcclure, himself, was
partially responsible for two, as he
allowed one runner to reach first on
IA muffed grounder and gave the other
IA free pass Mahar who caught an
excellent game, made bad throw
over third that let in the winning
run.
None of the "stickers" on the home
team did anything at the bat. Bres-
setee. Rarksdale and Prindle all
failed to connect with the ball, but
Cathcart got three singles out OF four
times at bat Worthington got a
couple and Waters and Mcclure each
got one Prindle had seven putouts
in left field One of them in the
sixth looked good for three bags at
least but was pulled down close to
the canvas fence and saved a run
Each team scored run in the
second inning. A muffed grounder at
short, a steal and hit gave Hoosick
a tally Hits by Waters and Mcclure
scored Mahar
In the fourth Hoosick scored a
couple. A muffed grounder by Nc
CURE sacrifice and an error at first
being responsible for the damage
Hoosicll scored again in the SIKH on
base on balls and errors by Cheney
and Mahar. Bennington also got one
in the same inning on hits by Worth
ingto, Cathcart and Mahar.
Bennington scored the third run in
the eighth on Worthington's hit and
couple of bad errors that allowed the
North Bennington boy to complete
the circuit of the bases. This was the
really exciting inning of the game,
After Worthington had scored Prin.
die was given a base on balls and
stole second with only one out. A
I hit would enable Bennington to tie
the score. Cathcart hit toward first
base and for an instant il looked as

MURDEREDBODYOE.
YOUNG WOMAN At
SAND LAKE
Found Saturday Floating in
Teal's Pond
MISS HAZEL DREW OF TROY
Death Caused by Blow on Head
Was Last Seen Alive on
July 6.
MISS HAZEL DREW OF TROY

Troy. July 13.-The body of the
murdered young woman. which was
found Saturday floating in Teals
pond about two and a half miles
from Sand Lake, was early this morn
ing identified as that of Miss Hazel /.
Drew, daughter of John Drew of No.
400 Fourth street, this city. Identi.
fication was made through a brooch,
which was found on the waist, and a
hat pin, which was found sticking in
the black straw hat on shore, about
twenty feet from the spot where the
body was found
9 The murder is mysterious one.
1t was at first thought that the girl
might have committed suicide, but this
theory was dispelled by the autopsy,
which showed that there was no water
in the lungs proving that the young
woman did not drown, and that her
skull had been fractured by a heavy
blow on the back of the head. II is
supposed that the murder took place
at some other place, possibly in this
city. and that the body was taken to
the pond, which is a secluded and
lonely spot, and thrown into the
water, the evident intention having
been to make the case appear as one
OF suicide.
! The young woman, who was 10
years old, was last seen on Monday,
July 6, week ago today. She had
been employed by Professor +. r.
Cary of the r. P. l., but left Professor
Cary's house that day, sending her
trunk and other personal effects to
her parents home on Fourth street
She stopped at the Drew home only a
short time, explaining that she had tC
go to Watervliet. but would return
later. That was the last seen oil
heard of her alive.
! Teafs pond is in a lonesome loSal
ity. II is surrounded by woods, aiic'
though the road passing the pond 1.
used oy summer visitors to Tabortor
and other nearby places, II is often
deserted. The place where the body
was found is particularly secluded
and. 1t is believed, those who killed
the young woman selected the spot
for disposing of her remains from
knowledge of its retirement and Sc
clusion
Gilbert Miller, who discovered the
body and gave the alarm, says he
saw 1t floating in the pond Friday
afternoon. He saw IL at a distance
then. however, and did not recognize
the object as human body, ii being
too far away, he being on the road al
a considerable distance from the
water Saturday however the body
had foated to the edge of the pond
and was distinctly seen by him. The
pond is in places ten feet deep, but
where the body was found there were
only three or four feet OF water

BOD Who Get the Valuable Tips Any Are at Large
ESCAPE FROM ASYLUM
Two Desperate Men Break Out Of
Criminal Ward at Waterbury.

Waterbury, July 13.--John keenan,
and Leroy Kent two desperate Grim
inals, escaped from the criminal ward
of the state hospital for the insane
before o'clock Saturday morning and
are now at large, there being no clue
to their whereabouts, but officers are
on the lookout for the men. 1t is be-
lieved that neither is insane.
Waterman Cutting is supposed to
visit the criminal ward every half
hour and he says he saw nothing
during the night to attract his atten-
ton. General night Waterman Glover
is supposed to visit the ward every
hour and a time clock registers his
visits He saw nothing at o'clock
to excite his suspicious, but when he
made his o'clock visit he found
Kent'S door open. He investigated
Immediately and found that the men
had escaped.
1t appears that Kent had pried the
latch off his door and had liberated
keenan,. The two had gone down a
into an exercise yard and had opened
this door with key The yard is
surrounded by high brick wall.
keenan, had taken the frame work OF
his bed to the yard and using this as
a ladder the men had scaled the wall
and secured their freedom.
A few days ago Frederick T. Sharp
made his escape but was recaptured
He admitted that he used a key to
make his escape, but no key was
found on his person. II Is believed
that Sharp acted in collision with
keenan, and Kent and that they Sc
cured key from him.
Kent is about 80 years old and is
| 5 feet inches In height He has a
long criminal record He has been
in the state prison twice. He escap
ed from Windham county jail once
jumped once from the window of a
moving train to escape from an of
ficer and cut his head severely, leav
ing scar and depression in his fore
head, and he escaped from the state
hospital here in August, 1905. He was
sentenced to the state prison for as
sault with intent to kill, and was
transferred to the state hospital
keenan, is an elderly man, about
feet inches in height He has beer
in the hospital off and on for years
He has wooden leg and 1t is be
lleved he is shamming insanity. He
was arrested years ago in Windham
county in connection with mans
death.
Supt. D. d. Grout has notified Gov
