tional Escape.

Michael J. O'Donnell, one of Matea-

Robertson. appointed as a commission
when O'Donnell was sent back fer trial
on q homicide charge thirteen years old,
reported to Justice Seabury yesterday
that O'Donncll was a hopeless paranoiac.
With the exception of single incident,
O'Donnelrs career has been vicious. In
1885 he accepted conviction for robbng a
saloon on East 6ith street iH order to
shield his brother James, who suffered
from tuberculosis and could not have
survived d term in Sing sang. Michael
was sentenced TO thirty yeays.
Ten years later, when james was OH
his deathbed he confessed tne crime, and
Michael was pardoned. Michael was AT
drst sent to Sing Sing fon the robbery.
but because of his violence he was trans
Cerred to Matteawan as insane While
in Matteawan ne was considered dan
gerous patient and was confined in the
isolation annex. Oliver Curtis Perry, the
train robber who held up New York
Central train between Syracuse and
lyons in February, 1882. was in the an
lex also.

April 10 1925. Perry. 20 Donnen and three
others made their escape by assaulting
The night Waterman and robbing him OF
his keys All FIVE we're captured ODon-
nell on April 10 and Perry three days
later. Since that fine Perry has blinded
himself with powdered glass, and is now
in the State Hospital for the Insane at
DannemoTa.
When ODonIHll was pardoncd by inc
Governor in 1876 he became somewhat oil
a local hero. In October q, 1899. o Donnell
was In a Seotad avenue saloon, where
his generosity in taking his brother
sentence was, the topic of conversation.
Charles Scaulun. one Of those in the sa-
loon. expressed the opinion that O'Don-
nell had already got all the credit that
was coming TO him for that. hght
between ODonnel and ScanlOn ensued
and ScanlOn received fatal stab wound.
ODonnen was arrested and when he
came TO trial was adjudged insane and
sent to iMatteawan. The jury found that
he was insane at the time Of the trial.
but sa5d nothing OF his mental condition
at the time Scanlon was killed. Conse-
auenII. when he was discharged from
; Matteawan he was sent TO the Tombs TO
stand trial on the homicide indictment

WANTS BABIES REGISTERED
More Important Than Marriage
Records, Says Merriam.

Seattle. July SIT is more important
for mothers 10 see that the births OF their
babies are registered than II IS to see
that their own marriage Is recorded. ac-
cordIng TO Or. Lewis Merriam, Of the Fed
cral Chldren's Bureau.
DR.. Merriam. in an address on Auditing
the Birth Account" before the National
Conference Of Charities and Correction
here this morning, said
Every mother should specifically ask
the person in attendance upon her wheth-
or the baby has been properly registered
The birth is just az sacred as the mar
rage and the reasons for recording the
marriage are, n anything, of lesser i'm
portance than the reasons for recording
the birth The community must therefore
demand that persons who are in attend
ance at births shall make reports. and II
they fail TO do so that they be prose-
cuted. "

The Newest Scarf

The futurist fashions Of the moment
are responsible for the newest and most
becoming type Of scarf which is being
adopted Cor day and evening wear This
is wide and very long variety, made Of
two brilliant shades Of chiffon laid one
on top Of another, such as Jcarlet over
purple or royal blue over mauve. Some
times the scarf is edged all round with
vivid colored marabout, dyed TO exactly
match the top color. The effect OF these
brilliant adjuncts OF dress is far more
effective than might at first be imagined,
and it is predicted that they are going
to enjoy great vogue.
