Charles Edward Ferguson has es-
capped from Brooklyn jail. He may not
be recaptured, but in any event this
particular criminal has given one
more surprise to the persons in this
section who have come to know about
him. Jailer Fields raced over good
part of the eastern end of the county in
his automobile Friday looking for the
fleeing prisoner. He did not find him,
but he learned that man answering
the description boarded a westbound
freight at Abingdon about two hours
after the escape from the jail
Ferguson had served all but seven
weeks of a sentence of six months for
breaking and entering the Frank
Weaver house in Brooklyn last year.
When he was tried and pleaded guilty
to the charge in the superior court at
putnam his story created wide SYM
pathy. Judge Robinson was SO i'm
pressed that he refrained from inn
posing sentence to permit Ferguson
time to demonstrate the truthfulness of
his story of hard luck and previous
honesty. Ferguson, tall, reserved and
almost clerical in appearance, hung his
head in apparent shame and said that
he preferred to receive the penalty
rather than bring disgrace. upon his
loved ones by a knowledge of his
wrongdoing. At the time he was ac-
counted as an extremely unfortunate
man or else the best actor that had
come before the court in many a day.
Half reluctantly, the court gave him
half a year in Brooklyn Jail.
He has been kept close tabs on up to
very recently. Then he was placed at
work in the stable. Thursday night
he was sent out into pasture to bring
in the cows and has not yet returned.
1t was his first opportunity to escape.
All doubt as to Ferguson's crookedness
has been dissipated by his untrustwor-
thiness. and if they get him he will
stay his full sentence and some months
longer for good measure. If he has a
family in New Haven, as he claimed to
have in court, they are bound to miss
him for some time to come.

YOUNG LADY PEDESTRIAN.
Miss Mary Hughes of Mansfield Hol-
low Walked to This City, Four Miles,
in A Minutes.

Much interest has been taken in ped
destrianism in this vicinity of late, but
no race was ever walked hereabouts
that is destined to excite the lovers of
the pastime so much as that of Miss
Mary Hughes race against time Fri
day evening. which was only a prelin1-
mary to what is in store for the ardent
fans. Miss Mary is the II year old
daughter of Martin Hughes of Mans
field Hollow, who was well known
among the members of the former
Young Mems Athletic club, and walked
from that place 70 this city at the cor
ner of Jackson and Union streets Fri
day evening, a distance of four miles,
in exactly A minutes fiat. Miss
Hughes is a slight young lady, but of
true athletic type, and walked in ap-
proved heel and toe style, with that
free and easy swing characteristic of
the best walkers in the land. AS sic
came down Jackson street and neared
the finish of the race Miss Hughes
cheeks glowed with the flush of VIC
tory. An exhibition race is to be ar
ranged for $50, as some sport in Mans
field Hollow has stated that no girl

one after the manner of his fathers
tutoring, for a clean home run away
over the left field fence. Frost also
got a nice single in the same inning,
and that was Walls finish.
Manley pitched very effectively, only
allowint; three hits for seven innings,
but was landed on pretty hard in the
eighth for a bunch of three that, cou-
pied with three rotten errors and a
stolen base, scored three runs.
Bond, who succeeded Wall, had six
hits made off his delivery in five inn
ings and was very wild and issued a
number of passes. rWindham played
very dumb ball at times in the field
and it was principally through the
pitching of Manley and all around
good batting that landed the game
by a comfortable margin.
Features of the game were Kelley's
perfect hitting, four wallops, with a
total of seven bases, Manley's hitting
and pitching, Keirans', Leonard's. and
Waldens fielding. Benvenutis hitting.

THE GAY LIFE
Chosen by Dora J.. congdon, Whose
Husband Seeks a Decree.


William S. Congdon, city sheriff Of
Willimantic. and dyer for the Am
erican Thread company, sought a sep
aration from Dora J. Congdon, now of
New York, alleging adultery. They
were married in Burrillville, r. l.,
April 10, 1902, and up to the time she
left her husband, March "a, 1908, they
lived in Willimantic but, as her hus-
band stated, she had not really been
a wife for several months previous to
that time.
Congdon told the court that his
wife had admitted to him her inf
deity and asked him to take her back
on her promise of future chastity. He
refused. Mrs. Congdon went to New
York. Letters to her sister Louise of
Pittsfield, Mass, were introduced by
Attorney King representing the plain
tiff. The letters, written in New York.
were suggestive of the gay doings of
the Great White Way, frivolously al
Turing in their inducements to kid
do Lou" to come down and share the
familiarities of her sisters friends"
Orlando P. Smith, employed at the
Willimantic postoffice, told of seeing
Mrs. Congdon going into the Wash
burn block in Willimantic. He told it
as if such a happening was signifi-
cant, in his home city. Mrs. Kather-
inc w. Congdon, mother of the plain
tiff, testified that Dora was frequently
away from home, and also that Dora
was not always truthful in telling
about where her time was spent.
Chauncey w. Wilson, who lives near
Willimantic, and is a relative of the
principals, told of a recent visit that
Dora made at his home. She came
over from New York in an automobile.
During the visit she exhibited a dia-
mond ring which she said had cost
$275. She told MIR. Wilson the name
of the New York man who gave it to
the name. assHsl
All of this evidence was important,
but Judge Reed. did not want to con-
slider it as absolutely conclusive proof
of the charge alleged. Attorney King
stated that he had expected another
witness, Alvin Potvin of Willimantic.
to testify, but he had failed to come
mony, Attorney King stated, he hoped
to preclude every possibility OF doubt
as to the charge alleged
Judge Reed finally agreed to allow
Mr.. King to take Mr.. Potvin's deposit
ton and file with the other papers, ia
ken by the judge, pending a decision.
The few matters on short calendar
were quickly despatched.
