capped during the night through the hos
pital window.
The letter was mailed September I'm
New York city. 1t purports to give the
true story of how Shelby broke Jail. He
claims he was convicted Of a crime OF
which he was innocent and that he was
railrcaded to prison.
The letter then goes into details re-
garding his escape. He says the bars
of his cell had been cut through without
his knowledge. He detected the condi-
ton while he was resting his feet against
them.
lie said he cut one bar half way
through with a common table knife He
used four or five such knives in the
work. To prove this he tells where the
knives are hidden in the Jail.
lie denies that he had any outside help.
His companion, Cornell, cut the hospital

HE PROBABLY WILL LIVE
Man Getting Out Of Way of One
Locomotive Is Hit by
Another.

Although James Hall of Beltsville, Md.
was struck by q Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road train and knocked up steep en-
bankment last night. he will probably
live. He had bones broken near the
base of the spine and was unconscious
from the time he was hit until after he
was examined by surgeons at Providence
Hospital. Yet IL was said at the hos
pital last night that he was not in a
serious condition.
Hall was walking on the railroad track
between the District line and Hyatts-
vile. Md. last night. He saw train
coming toward him and walked toward u

Jumped behind II and started TO cross 10
the next track. Just as he stepped upon
IL the other train. which he had not SEEN
was upon him.
He had not the slightest chance. to es-
cape being struck. The engineer saw the
living figure OF the man IL shot into
the air and struck the foot or the en-
bankment. As soon as possible lie smut

roILED TRAIN ROBBERS ESCAPy
Hold Up Engine Instead of Express
and Take to Boat.

MOBILE. Ala. September 3.-Five dis
guised train robbers. who had planned to
hold-up and rob the New Yrok and New
Orleans limited train on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad made their escape
in a boat on Bayou Sara, twelve miles
north Of here, at 12:45 O'Clock this morn
ing, after they had held up by mistake
a light engine which was making its way
northward.
The engine had just come to a stop
prena ratory to crossing the bridge which
spans the bayou. But for the mistake in
taking the light engine for the limited.
which is solid vestibuled train. carry
ing mail and express matter, the thieves
probably would have made a rich haul.
That the hold-up was well planned was
evidenced by the fact that the robbers
first captured the two Driagemen, cnsi nam
maya zine rifles and then awaited the
coming of the vestibule limited.

YOUNG WOMAN LEAPS
OR FALLS FROM TRAIN
Theory of Suicide Secuted by
Cousin, Who Declares Fall
Must Have Been Accident.

PHILADELPHIA. September 3.-Upon
the arrival here today of a Pennsylvania
railroad train from Pittsburg it was
twenty-five years old, OF Painesvine,
Ohio. jumped from a window of a sleep
ing car on the train last night and was
killed. The body was found today near
Hillside. Pa, about fifty miles east of
Pittsburg.
Miss HOFFMAN was about to sail for
Europe and had intended to visit friends
in Philadelphia. Friends of the young
woman say that a long illness had made
her melancholy.
Cousin Thinks It an Accident.
DERRY, Pa. September 3.-The the
DRY that Miss Hoffman had committed
suicide was secuted by q cousin. III. A.
Weatherbee. of Cleveland. Ohio, who
arrived here tonight and positively iden-
titled the body. which had been brought
to an undertaker's place here. Weather
bee declared that the young woman was
in the best OF spirits, and that her fall
from the Pullman window must have
been accidental.
He believes that she was sitting on the
edge of her berth preparing to retire
when sudden lurch of the train threw
her against a loose screen in the win
dow. Her body was found 300 yards be-
yond q curve where the train would have
given such a lurch. and. judging from
the speed of the train, the body might
have been carried that far during the
few seconds between the lurch and the
fall. Such an accident Is probably I'M
precedented. The body was taken TO
Cleveland tonight.
