ESCAPED CONVICT TELLS
HOW HE BROKE JAIL
Found Bnrs OF Cell Cut Through and
Finished JOB with Table
Knives

Hartford. Conn, September "A let
ter was received by a local newspaper
yesterday signed "F. A Shedy," the
name of the convicted burglar who
made a sensational break from the
Hartford County Jail a few weeks ago
with another prisoner.
Shedy cut the bars OF his cell and
escaped during the night through the
hospital window,
The letter was mailed September 2
In New York City. 1t purports to give
the true story Of how Shedy broke jail.
He claims he was convicted of crime
OF which he was innocent and that he
was railroaded to prison.
The letter then goes into details re-
garding his escape. He says the bars
OF his cell had been cut through with
out his knowledge. He detected the
condition while he was resting his
feet against them,
He said he cut one bar halfway
through with 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.
He denies that he had any outside
help. His companion, Cornell cut the
hospital bar.
There is no doubt that the letter was
written by Shedy. The Jail officials
found the knives in the spot named
by the writer of the letter.
