Ben Rubin, after escaping from tn
Fairfax County Jail and successful,
eluding the authorities for two days

yesterday afternoon. Rubin recentl.
confessed" the murder of Eva Roy
later repudiating his statement.
Rubin was buying pistol in

Rubin saw Miller about the same
time Miller recognized him. and fled
before Tie Lorton officer could seize
him. j. E. Bobo, a bicycle officer, join
ed in the pursuit and chased Rubin
into house on Tenth street. The
fugitive went to the upper story o.
the house, doubtless hoping to escape
through the roof. The officer, however,
caught him before he could make good
his getaway, and took him to No. ]
precinct.
Later in the afternoon, Rubin was
taken to headquarters and thoroughly
questioned by the detectives. The
prisoner, however, took refuge in SUI
len silence, and refused to make any
statement in regard to his escape.
He declared that he had the saw
with which he cut his way to free
dom in his possession when he was
taken from Washington to Fairfax,
recently. The police authorities, how
ever, believe this to be lie, as the
man was thoroughly searched after
Lis arrest in Washington, and after
his arrival in Fairfax.
The prisoner denied having a re-
volver at the time Of his escape
from the Fairfax Jail, statement ap-
parently borne out b. the fact that
he was in the act: Of purchasing one
when arrested. He says that the

Rubin refused to tell when he ar.

believe ne came in some time last
