KNOWN AS SLIPPERY,
HE CONFIRMS TITLE
Raymond Clancy Escapes
From Prison Van One Hour
After Receiving Sentence.
TAKES THREE WITH HIM

Raymond Clancy, twenty-five years old.
f48 X street, who is called Slippery by
he police because of his numerous
escapes from the District reformatory at
Lorton. Va, yesterday afternoon appear
ed in Criminal Court for sentence on a
charge of housebreaking and was sent up
for ten years. Less than one hour after
he had gone through the ordinary routine
of giving his name, age and other in
formation about himself he was at liberty,
having escaped from the prison van while
being conveyed to the District Jail.
Three other prisoners went with him,
Walter Johnson. alias Bald Matthews,
colored. thirty years. 1877 Cavenett street,
Newark, n. j.; Charles II. Thomas. col
ored. nineteen years. Leesburg. Va, and
Henry Robbins. colored, thirty-three
years, $50 Cullinane court southwest
Robbins was captured this morning by
a member of No police precinct in
southwest. The others are still at liberty
Sentences Imposed.
Johnson and Thomas were sentenced
to ten years each for HOUSEKEEPING,
while Robbins. who was similarly
charged, was given five years Eight

prisoner was riding on the front seat
with Deputy Marshal Weaver and Jesse
Briggs. the driver. Other captives would
deputy marshal was told of the escape
by a prisoner in the forward part OF
the vehicle Driver Briggs brought his
horses to a quick stop.
Deputy Marshal Weaver jumped from
the seat and reached the rear of the
vehicle in time to prevent fifth man
under sentence from gaining his liber-
ty. The van was passing along Massa :
chusetts avenue between 9th and tth
streets northeast and the noise of the
Anticipated vehicle bowling over the
rough asphalt block pavement aided it's
occupants to force the rear door with
out making noise enough to attract the
attention of the officers.
Scamper in Different Directions.
One after another the convicts went
through. the opening having been made
by several of them throwing their COM
bined weights against the grill. The
four men were seer scamperinG in diff
ferent directions, " hen Deputy Marshal
Weaver reached the street. He was
unable to leave the eight other pris-
Aners and go in pursuit of them, how
ever, and the quartet kept on going.
Years ago, it is stated, it was the Gus
tom of the man in charge of the van to
ride on the rear steps to prevent the
possibility of prisoners escaping. and
yesterdays affair probably will cause
a renewal of the order for the deputy
In charge of the prisoners.
Police of the several precincts were
asked to search for the fugitives. All
four men are we'll known to the police,
particularly Clancy. Johnson is known
to the police of Pittsburgh, Pa, where.
it is stated. he was a member of the
so-called Wylie avenue gang thar ter
roriZed the people of that section of
the city several years ago.

Know Use of Supplies.

They know that America has under
taken to send meat and flour and wheat
and other foods for the support of the
soldiers who are doing the fighting, for
the men and women who are making
the munitions and for the boys and
girls of western Europe, and that we
must also feed ourselves while We are
carrying on this war.
The movement to establish gardens,
therefore, and TO have the children
work in them is just as real and pa
triotic an effort as the building of
ships or the firing of cannon. I hope
that this spring every school will have
regiment in the Volunteer War Gar
den Army
