Frank Hart Killed;
Was Famous BERGEN
Burglar, Bad Record

Frank T. Ellwood, a burglar, who
was shot and killed in Kansas by a
detective several weeks ago while at
tempting to recover $1,000 worth of
silver cached in the woods, has been
identified by the Bureau of Criminal
Identification of Leavenworth, Kas., as
Frank Hart, the notorious Bergen
county burglar, according to a report
received here yesterday.
Hart was sentenced from Bergen
county to the state prison in Trenton
in 1913 for term of from eight and
one-half to seventeen years for bur-
glary and larceny. He escaped from
a prison camp in this state in June of
last year.
While incarcerated in the county
Jail here prior to 1913 Hart made a
sensational escape from the old jail
after shooting one of the keepers.
Prosecutor Hart has received no con-
firmation of the reported death of the
man.-Record.
