FRED HAYES ESCAPES
IS CAPTURED HERE
The "Greascd Pig. Makes His Get.
away From the State Reform
School ut Glendale-Captured
In Paris, But Officers
LOsO Him.

Fred Hayes, 1.-THE Creased Pig
who was sentenced to the reform
school at a recent term Of the Mason
County Court for obtaining money I'M
der false pretenses, escaped from that
institution on Monday. He was cap
tured in Paris on that night but made
get away from the officers, and upon
coming to Maysville was taken by the
local police.
Hayes certainly has a record as a
getaway gentleman. Long before he
was sentenced to the reform school,
he was known to the police for his
many daring escapes from their hands
and thus gained his sobriquet.
After his ecape from the reform
school the officers in the various towns
along the l.. & n. between Lexington
and Maysvile were notified that he
had yamoosed and they were warned
that he was slick customer and to
take no chances with him. On Mon
day night he was discovered by the
Paris police and hancuffed In spite
Of the precaution of the officers he got
away, losing his hat while running.
Some of Hayes relatives on Monday
received telegram from him asking
them to telegraph him ticket to get
home. They showed the missive to
the police, who advised them to not
send the ticket Upon being inform
ed that Hayes had escaped they
thought he would come to his home
and yesterday afternoon Chief Mackey,
Sergeant Tolle and officers Bremen
and Bloomhuff went to the house.
Chief Mackey climbed through a win
dow and arrested the boy. He was
lodged in the local Jail.
Hayes said that he had walked all
the way from Paris to Maysville ar
irving here about noon. His hands
and wrists were SCARED and scratch
ed from where he had torn the hand
cuffs off.
The boy was taken back to Glendale
by Chief Mackey this morning.
