NABS PRISONER
WHO ESCAPE
Marshal Desmond Almost Lost
Charge Whom He Was
Taking to Jail.
FIRED SHOTS IN THE AIR

City Marshal Desmond nearly lost
his first prisoner Saturday afternoon
while escorting George Hamety, a
notorious character of this city, to
the county Jail. In the shadow Of
the county seat prison the criminal
slipped the handouts and leaving
them dangling to another prisoner to
whom he was shackled, fled through
the streets of New Brunswick. The
city marshal fired two shots in the air
before he was able to subdue the man
by fright.
The affair created a sensation in
the vicinity of the Jail, and along the
route of Hamety's trail, the prisoner
and marshal dashing one after an
other through crowds of men, women
and children pedestrians. Intense ex-
cftement prevailed when the marshal
unloosened his gun and two cracks
echoed from its muZZle. The fright
ened " omen and children in terror
ran into the nearest houses.
The pursuit led through the streets
toI about six blocks. At no time was
the marshal far behind the man. Pm
going to shoot you if you don't STOP"
shouted Desmond. Hamety kept his
course and feetness. Whereupon the
marshal fired In the air, but Hamety
did not slow his speed The pursuit
continued. The marshal fired again.
The criminal seemed to become un-
nerved at the last crack of the revol-
yer, and being exhausted dropped
over in a ditch. The marshal was
about played out and was ready to
drop when Hamety fell. He spurred
himself on and quickly shackled the
prisoner with the aid of pedes trian
who had blocked the criminals way.
Hamety was docile after the adven-
ture and easily lead back to the jail.
Hamety and Katherine Smith, wife
of Charles Smith, we're arrested Fri
day night by Patrolman Rymarczk
and Jensen, for creating disturb
ance at the boarding place of Mr..
Smith at 404 Ogden place. Each was
fined 500, or sentenced to serve six
months in Jail when arraigned before

Ing. In default of the amount of the
fine they were sent to the county prs-
on in charge of the city marshal.
Hemety Is wanted on an old indict-
ment in New Brunswick, which charg-
es him with adultery with Mrs.

P|CKETS
SAVED BY POLICE
Fresh Outbreak in Woodbridge
at Federal Plant.

Seven or eight strikers who were
doing picket duty in the vicinity OF
the Federal Terra Gotta Company's g
plant at Woodbridge just before noon
Saturday were chased by about forty
non-union employees of the plant, as
the latter were on their way to the
Spa Spring station to go to their
homes in New York over the week
end. The pickets put up a fight, but
the force of the employees was so
large that they finally fed for safety.
The Woodbridge police were called
out, and Chief of Police Murphy and
his men succeeded in rescuing the
pickets from the mob. Sheriff Apple
by was in the strike zone yesterday
afternoon, and is said to have had
a conference with Chief Murphy con-
cerning the fresh outbreak in the
strike.
The management of the federal
plant announced this morning that
the first load of terra Gotta for the
new Equitable Insurance Company g
building in New York had been land

and is now being placed. The man
agement declares that no trouble was
experienced in transferring the ma
terial. Some time ago the Teamsters'

pressure to accept the office for an
other year.
leading member Of the Board of
Governors declared this morning
that they would force Mr.. Haney to
take the office, as he was the most

week that he did not think he could
do justice to the office to continue
its~incumbent for another year.

UNKNOWN MANI IS
KILLED BY TRAIN
Found by Crew of Circus Train
on Pennsylvania Tracks
Yesterday.
HEAD SEVERED FROM BODY
Only Right Hand Was MangIed;
Efforts Being Made to
Identify Victim.
HEAD SEVERED FROM BODY

The decapitated head and body OF
an unidentified man was espied along
the north bound track of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad between q. w. tower
and Maurer road by the engineer
of the Barnum & Bailey circus train
which passed through here shortly
after 4 o'clock yesterday morning,
en- route from Asbury Park to New
ark. The head lay between the rails
several feet from the body. 1t was
severed at the neck as clean and with
as much precision as if the man had
been beheaded by guillotine.
The body was not mangled except
the right hand which was torn to
pieces. There was nothing on the
man to identify him, except a pair OF
congress shoes, which by a recent or
der all men working about the fur
naces of the American Smelling
e Refining Com panys plant are re-
quired to wear. Jesse Seaman, pur-
chasing agent Of the plant, will today
send man to the morgue of Coroner
James ] Flynn to see if the train
victim was workman at that plant.
The man is a Hungarian, has coal
black, slightly curly hair. brown mus
tache, dark complexion, and wore
dark coat, blue shirt and yellow
working trousers.
1t is the belief of the coroner that
the man was lying across the north
bound track when a passenger train
passed over his neck. This theory,
the coroner formed, from the fact
that the right hand was the only part
of the man body mangled, and from
the precise manner in which the VIC
tim was beheaded The official be-
|lleves that the man was lying with his
head across the rail, resting on his
right hand for pillow, when the
wheels of a locomotive sliced off his
head at the neck, cutting off the
thumb and mangling the right hand,
believed to have been under his
head.
The crew Of the circus train re-
moved the dead mans body from the
tracks, and notified the O. w tower
man, who communicated with the
night agent at the Pennsylvania sta
tom The police and coroner were
notified Patrolman Martin was de-
tailed to the scene by Sergeant Nc
Dermott. The body was found cold,
and the blood clotted and dried as If
it had laid along the tracks for some
time. 1t is believed the man was
killed on his way home about mid
night. The head was found between
the rails, several feet from the body,
and had been rolled along the ties by
hanging appurtenances of the differ
ent engines and cars that passed
over it. The head was fractured, de-
noting that 1t had been pushed along
the roadbed after 1t had been sever
ed from the body. A number OF
trains passed over the body before 1t
was discovered by the crew of the
circus train. The coroner took the
man to his morgue, where efforts are
being made today to identify him.
