What, againr' exclaimed the em- ployes of the Fairfield county jail, when like an irrepressible ghost there loomed up before them in the jail of fee today the gaunt form and terri flying features of David Hello Dearie'' Flanagan, the champion jail breaker of the world, who was set free yesterday and sent to his own home.
 David satisfied himself with assum- ing a look a bit more su1len if Epos- sible than usual, and growing o1ni- nously in unintelligible undertones. He was taken to cell and made se- cure, for no more are the jailers talk ing chance on David's irnperilling- the reputation of the county institu- ton as secure place for the housing of evil doers.
 David walked out of the jail only yesterday morning. Doctors refused to say he was crazy. The prosecuting authorities charged him with commit ting breach of the peace, the charge that covers multitude of sins. Judge Wilder had held him for trial in the Superior court, an unusual procedure for such a charge. yet one justified by the severe penalty that may be inn posed for conviction of the charge.
 Held in bail of $500 all summer, Da- vid was kept under close restraint in the jail. He hadn't even a ghost of a chance to break jail. and he could

 States Attorney Judson was in a quandary as to what to do with the prisoner, when he was preparing eases for trial in the Superior court and he settled the problem to his own satis- faction by entering a nolle, or in oth- .cSe r7O 1S13sI, noxv had been inside for many weeks, and it was thought that he had been pun ished enough. His close confinement however had grown to be second ma ture A few moments after Dave had bade his keepers adieu as he left the jail. he got to his own home in Jones avenue. Mrs. Flanagan and her 16 years old daughter were out at their daily toil. Dave broke in without any difficulty and regaled himself with the contents of the 1arder. Then, as doors against intruders~ and let the day pass by.
 At noon time Mrs. Flanagan came home. The door was closed securely She ratt1ed the knob and Dave in deep glItteraI tones ordered her to be off. She knew by experience that Dave believes the man of the house ought to be it's head in the broadest sense of the term, and she went away. She worried through the afternoon until about 4. then returned and tried to plGdu WILL 11dN1o IO ACI A4CI III. AAC I = fused.
 Then she went to supt. Birm- ingham at police headquarters and keep the cops away until she had made another trial. but at o'clock she telephoned in that it was no use, that Dave was fnsistent upon occupy
 So Patrolmen Patrick Burns and Musante went to the house, placed their stalwart shoulders against the inside awaiting their entrance.
 They tried vafn1y to remonstrate with him against his closed door pol icy, and sought to make him welcome his wife and agree to live under a sus- pension of hosti1ities.A But it was no use. David wouldn't have it. So they had to take him down to aeadQuarters and as usual they charged him with being crazy, and incider tally with creating a breach of the peace.
 Today Prosecutor Delaney wouldn't Task the court to have doctors look at Dave for signs of insanity. Several times that has been done and the re- port is always the same, that David is not insane, but an odd sort of per sonage with pronounced ideas.
 David's ideas have to do with the authority of the man at the head of shall not harbor relatives IS boarders. She in turn maintains that she has to keep boarders to meet the household expenses David was once a prosper ous saloon keeper but his eccen tricf- ties led to the loss of his business.
 So Prosecutor Delaney contented himself with charging Flanagan with breach of the peace and Judge Wilder again bound him over to the next term of the superior court fixing bail at $500. David of course couldn't raise that sum and back to North avenue he went.
 David acquired the soubriquet of ''Hello Dearie' for shouting at tele- phone girls on their way home until they appealed to the police for protec tior. Later for an a1tercation with a woman he had accosted in similar manner on the street, he was sent to jail for a year. During the year. he was a trusty. having charge Of
