"Gyp the Blood"
Is Still at Large.


New York. Aug. 25-The belief OF
sheriH cuddebeck of Pike county,
Pa, that he had won the $500 re-
ward offered for the capture of "Gyp

thorities here that the fugitive really
had been caught were simultaneously

ton could not be had over the tele
phone and the request was made here
ture formally by telegraph. This re-
quest was not complied with and the
police did not go further. The district
attorneys office, however, which was
also notified sent two of it's men to
Milford, only to prove the sheriff s
mistake.
