an old man with a bewildered air
wandering about in the store little
suspected what he was or there
would have been a general scurTying
toward outside air and safety.
He was an escaped convict, a muir
deTer and a desperate criminal who
had just broken out Of the Joliet
penitentiary and who had come into
the department store to steal what
he could, prepared to defend his lib
erty with deadly weapons
Newspapers when they do print
facts about department store shop
filters usually insinuate that they are
a timid, sneaky sort, most often
women and foreigners. They do this
because shoppers, becoming fright
ened, may shUn the stores if they
think regular bandits frequent them.
But George Mears-and the loop
press hasn't printed it yet-slipped
into SiegeI-CoOper's store as one Of
the first things he did when he
escaped from Joliet and got into Chi
cagO on a freight train.
Here he stole a fine OvercoRt to /
cover the plain garb given him at
the prison. Then he bought or lift
ed" the rest of his outfit, and after
he had spent a few hours in the place
he emerged a different-lOOking man,
whom none would suspect as an es-
capped murderer.
Once outfitted in SiegePs, he made |
the rounds on State street, gathering
what he needed among the crowds !
of women shoppers, who never sus-
pected they had the convict among |
them that every policeman on the |
Chicago force was watching for on |
information from the penitentiary.
Then George went to the North !
Side and stopped in a saloon at 2 !
w. Erie st. He started drinking. |
That caused his downfall

dulged heavily. But George was not
used to liquor; he hadn't had any for
twenty-five years while he had been
penned in behind the walls of Joliet.
So his tongue began to work too cas-
lily and he told his casual friend the
story Of his escape.
RandOUr excused himself and went
to a phone and a few minutes later
a squad of police walked into the sa-
loon with drawn TeVOlvers. They
captured drunken MeaDs and dis
armed him without a struggle.
His arrest and the knowledge that
things would go hard with him at
the penitentiary sObered the escaped
convict up and he Immediately set
about to destroy the evidence Of his
shOplifting tour on State street.
At the police station, while wait
ing to be booked, he offered the coat
and hat to a shivering bum who
came in for shelter At first the po-
lice mistoOk this for charity; then
they got suspicious and questioned
him on the manner in which he OBJ
tanned the clothes. He broke down
and confessed that he>had resOrted
to shOpIifting as the easiest way to
