Baked BY FOG IN
SWIM FOR LIBERTY

New York Herald, February 25.-
Ernest Barleben, twenty-five years
old, who says he rs a member of a noble
German family and who has been a
prisoner on Blackwcll's Island since
January 10 on charge of petty lar
eeny, tried to escape yesterday by
Jumping into the East river. Had it
not been for the fog he probably would
have succeeded, but after swimming
around in the icy waters for more than
an hour, unable to see the shore, he
Eas picked up, exhausted, and was re-
snrned to the institution.
Under a nine months sentence i'm
posed by Judge Wyatt, in the Court of
Special Sessions, Barleben worked in
the brush factory of the prison. Yes
serdsy he managed 10 get out of the
shop, and under cover of the fog Owed
from the pier. He swan under water
about twenty-five feet, and when he
came up he was seen by men ON New
York Central tugboat, who threw rope
10 him.
Afterward Barloben said he shouted
10 these men to let him alone and the
rug proceeded on its way. Then he
swan toward Long Island, but he wa'
unable TO find the shore, and he wa
about to succumb from cold and ex
hAustion when the Seabright, tug o
ihe Central Railroad of New Jersey
tame along and he was picked up, abon
two hundred feet from the foot o
sixth street, Long Island City. Reeog
Rizing the convict garb, Captain Me
Hugh put in shore and word was sen
10 the Fourth street police station.
Barleben was sent to st. John s Hos
Pital until he had recovered sufficient.
10 permit his removal to the prison.
To the police the prisoner said tina
IN 1901 he was student at Heidelberg
But had been compelled to flee tn
country after seriously wounding
slassmate in a duel. He made his wa.
40 Honolulu, where, he declared, hi
uncle is the German Consul, and the
came to the United States.

Many girls wer4 married at IL anC
scarcely any wenk over FL. Till | left
home | never sa " a daily paper, cook
stove or sewing1 machine or read Z
novel. The Billie and school book

Sunday even to save crop. Family
prayers were sal 4 every night and {
blessing pronounced over every meal.
