AGAIN SLIPS
FROM COPS
Alleged Wife Beater Walks
Into Supposed Trap, Then
Right Out Again
POLICE CONVINCED HI
IS SLIPPERY ARTICLE"

Hastings Applegate, aged about 35
years, alleged wife beater, who has
given the police much trouble dur
ing the past three years, evaded the
clutches Of the law this morning.
He walked into trap and then walk
ed right out again without being mo-
Tested by the policemen who were
ION guard" at the entrance of the
postofiiee TO get him.
Through some mysterious source the
police today ascertained that Apple
gate had an engagement with a friend
in the postofice corridor this MORN
ing, and several officers, including
Sergeant Bayley and Officers Benson
and Edwards were detailed to watch
the entrances to the building and
pen up the man as he entered.
Sergeant Bayley and one of the
officers were stationed at the main
entrance and two other officers stood
guard at the side door of the most
office. At the appointed time Apple-
gate appeared and walked into the
main entrance OF the building. Ser
geant Bayley and Officer Benson
closed in on him supposihg that they
had him trapped in the corridor
which has only two entrances.
Applegate. however, had probably
noted the proximity Of the two officers
and when he entered the building he
continued to walk through, and left
by the side entrance. The two officers
stationed there had not been notified
that the fugitive had entered the
building, owing TO the short time in
which 1t took him to pass through tho
building, and not being personally ac-
quainted with Applegate. the officers
let him depart without halting him.
A few steps from the door Applepate
took to his heels. and by the time the
oincers realized that he was the man
they wanted, he, had disappeared.
There has been warrant at the
police station for Applegate for more
than three years. He is charged with
Vito beating among other offensos.
ana IS considered a genuine bad
man"
During the past three years Apple
gate has escaped from the police fre-
quently, several times being almost
within their grasp, until he has come
TO be known as a real slippery arr
tlcle.' Such was the expression used
oy the police this morning in describ-
ing him. Three years ago several
officers attempted to arrest Applegate
on the charge Of wife beating at HIS
nome near Twelfth and French
streets. AT that time he escaped by
jumping through a window. and
police officer, in following him
through the broken window, was
seyerly cut The police also INDUCED
in an all night man hunt for Apple
gate in the Concord Heights Park, at
Thirty-first and Monroe streets, about
that time, without result.
