Out in a Barrel

In the foregoing instances the
convicts depended upon their own
Wits and daring to get beyond the
walls. But more alluring are stories
Of escapes in which the principals
concealed themselves in outgoing
receptacles and relied upon some
one else, ofttimes unwittingly, to
take them out. Thomas Murray, who
left nailed up in packing-case,
made the most sensational escape of
this variety. Frank Koehler once
shipped on a schooner as a barrel
Of lime and Charles Joseph, on an
other occasion, had himself sealed
up in hogshead with a false top.
Other convicts hoisted the cask onto
a wagon inside the walls and q per-

can be done is one Of the secrets of
the criminal world, for that is just
what Alfred Kriedlander and Percy
McDonough, desperate longtime
convicts, did few days ago, and
even the prison officials admit they
are still puzzled by some of the
details of the affair.
Yet the ruse Of slowing away to

criminals who, by hiding themselves
there for spell, have managed to
get outside Of its closely guarded
gates and walls and escape recap

Yards Are Getting Little
Business to Begin After
First of Next Year
BRITISH BUILDERS
FORGING AHEAD

With virtually no new work in
sight private shipbuilding enterprises
face a season Of famine after the end
OF the present year, according TO a
statement from the Atlantic Coast
Shipbuilders' Association.
Shipbuilding on government and
private account is declining steadily
the statement says. June was the first
month TO show a decrease in the
amount Of private shipbuilding. July
did likewise.
Since the first OF January the
shrinkage in work on hand in Ameri-
can yards has been nearly half a
million gross tons. While private
orders show an increase in that period
Of about 475,IJ0 gross tons, it is
offset by loss Of more than double
that amount Of government construc-
ton under way An analysis pre-
pared by the Atlantic Coast Ship
builders Association from the records
OF the shipping board, the Department
OF Commerce, the American Bureau
OF Shipping and Lloyd's Register of
Shipping, shows that a year ago the
shipping board alone had over a mil
lion gross tons more building than
the board and private interests com
bined have today.
Private orders in hand in May show
ell an Increase OF 81 ,926 gross tons
over the previous month, but the
June total showed a decrease OF 70, ,522
tons from the May figure. In June
the shipping board laid only three
new keels, representing 1866 gross
IONS, as against deliveries for the
month OF thirty-One vessels aggre-
eating ii3,Tl2 tons reducing the total
construction under way for the ac-
count or the government by i25.OOO
tons. As a result. building for private
account is now $4,000 tons in excess
or that for the shipping board, where
as at the first Of the year govern
ment construction was nearly a mil
lion tons more than the total % pri-
Vate orders.
The high wate- mark for Amci~
anlpyards was reached in March. 1919
when 3,733,000 gross tons were being
nuili in comparison with 2.469 600
