BURGLAR GETS
OUT OF STATE
Metuchen Fugitive Believed
to be on Staten Island.

Metuchen, July 17:-A posse of
b~edraggled and weary policemen
and citizens returned to Metuchen
last night, beaten in a burglar hunt.
They had tramped thirty miles on a
trail that crossed and doubled. The
net result was their discovery that
the fugitive, who fed wounded and
in handouts, had been freed of his
irons by a Railway blacksmith, had
been fed and had his wounds ban
daged by a Railway negress and had
escaped to Staten Island.
The burglar was shot in the leg
before daylight while fleeing from
when he escaped his captors by a
ruse, Chief of Police Flaherty fired
at him.
The posse started out early in the
morning and trailed the fugitive
through Menlo Park, %Iselin, Colonia,
Railway, Port Reading, Roosevelt
and on to Elizabethport, where it
was learned he had taken a ferry
boat to Staten Island. There all
trace of him was lost.
In Railway the burglar visited a
blacksmith, who filed off his hand
cuffs. The police are keeping this
mans name secret, as there may be
an arrest.
After getting rid of his irons the
fugitive appealed to a negress for
aid. She gave him food and BAN
daged his leg, in which he had been
shot when first seen at the Walling
home He had lost two fingers also,
and this indicates that they were
shot away by Chief Flaherty in the
early pursuit, in which he succeed
ed In eluding recapture. The man
told the negress that he had been
riding on a freight car and had fall
en- off, thus receiving his injuries.
The burglar, who has been work
ing In this section some time, a
caught just after leaving the resi-
dence of William Walling. When
he refused to halt, Frederick Peck,
who, with Chief Of Police Flaherty,
had followed him several blocks,
emptied a double-barreled shotgun
at him. He received most of the
load and dropped in his tracks.
