Barney's Surrender
Voluntary

Boston, July Herman l.. Barney.
the convict who gave himself mp last
night, after 80 days of freedom from
the state prison, from which he escaped
through ventilator, will not be pun
ished for his escapade or for his part
in assisting two other long con-
yicts to freedom at the same time,
Warden Shattuck decided to-day. The
warden said Barney's surrender was
entirely voluntary, and for that reason
he would not be punished.
The convict's story of his where
abouts during the past month, however,
was secuted by the warden. Instead
Of having worked on a Vermont farm
for his health, as he stated, Warden
Shattuck said he was convinced that
Barney, leader of group of autOmo
bile thieving gangsters in this city be
fore he killed local policeman, had
not left metropolitan Boston until he
went TO Vermont to surrender and to
divert suspicion from those who had
sheltered him. His hands, his clothes,
his weight and general appearance the
warden said, belied the story Of life on
a farm near Brattleboro
Barney refused to name his employer
or To give the exact location of the
farm on which he said he worked.
The prisoner said it was mere chance
which took him to Brattieboro after
his escape His flight from the state
prison, he said was alone, both Harry
Manster, another slayer of Il police
man. who il still at large, and Charles
Ward. negro who subsequently sur
rendered, having preceded him over the
wall by Is minutes.
Barney said he hiked over the tracks
of the Boston and Maine railroad from
the yard in the rear of the prison to
Lexington, without shoes, having lost
hs in the escape A friend there sup
piled him with another pair, he said. He
jumped a freight at Littleton, dropped
off at Brattleboro and, after hiding in
the woods for day, came out and
asked for job, getting place on a
farm.
: Except for the friend at Lexington,
Barney said he saw no one he knew,
nor anyone who suspected his identity.
One one occasion, while he was sought
by police throughout New England,
with orders TO shoot on sight, BarHey
said he joined An automobile party and
went from Brattleboro to Northamp-
ion for Governor Coolidge's home
coming after his nomination for the
vice presidency.

the government and the JUDGE consid-
cred he had been sufficiently punished

ming lastly ming, the large granite
manufacturing plant of the N. Pelaggi
Granite Co, was burned to the ground,
entailing a loss estimated anywhere
from 100000 to 100000 and throwing
about one hundred men ont of employ
ment. Insurance carried on the proper
ty and contents amounted to SS9,750
The fire was discovered at about 6
o'clock, few minutes after particu-
larly vivid fash of ~lightning. Persons
in the vicinity of the railroad station,
near which the Pelaggi plant was To-
Gated, remarked that the lightning
must have struck not far away. Pres
emily smoke began pouring from all
parts of the big main shed, which
measured about 800 feet in length.
The fire alarm was rung in promptly
but when the fremen arrived the flames
had made such progress that they were
enveloping almost the whole structure.
The firemen did good service and sue
ceeded in saving the PeIaggi Co.'S Office
and in protecting other buildings in
close proximity, including the Central
Vermont freight station. 1t was not
possible to save the main building, al
though one charred end was standing
to-day
The loss is the more severe at this
time because the Pelaggi company had
a great amount of finished stock on
hand ready for shipment, all Of which
will probably be total loss. Only
yesterday the company had three
freight cars set in to receive some of
this finished stock to-day. In addition
to the finished work, there was much
in process of manufacture and large
quantity of rough stock. One of the
pieces of work destroyed was a big
mausoleum
The lightning struck transformer
just outside the building and went in
on the wires, spreading quickly.
The end of the derrick boom near
est the stone shed was burned but the
derrick itself was saved Two travelling
cranes inside the plant are expected to
prove a total loss.
This is the second serious fire loss
sustained by Mr.. Pelaggi within few
years. In the previous fire his stone
shed at Mortified was destroyed. The
Pelaggi Granite Co has a large mum
Der of orders on hand and was working
with a large force of men to complete
the contracts. Mr. Pelaggi stated to-
day that he had not formulated his
plans but it seems likely that he win
continue in the granite business as the
firm is one of the best in this vicinity.
