tempting to fight his way to liberty
Vase Ankowicn, alias Vaseln Kovich
convict No. GSS5, was killed in the
prison quarry late Monday, shot above
the heart by a guard stationed In a
stockade tower.
AnkowicZ was member of the
quarry gang. When the men were
marched back to their cells and the
evening count was made Ankowic2
was missing.
A search was made OF the quarry.
One OF the keepers passing by one OF
the lodges where the men had been
working in the afternoon noticed that
where an opening in ledge had been
was closed by a wall of rock. He
listened There was stir behind the
wall.
Summoning other officers, the cache
was surrounded. A demand was made
for Ankowicz to surrender. There was
no answer, but back of the pile Of
rock loose fragment OF stone ratified
down.
"Come out or we'll take you out
one of the guards called.
There was sudden push from be-
hind the wall and the stones toppled
over. Ankowicz. snarling with rage
and hatred, leaped from his hidinS
place and ran few steps along the
ledge.
Then arming himself with an arm
ful OF stones the convict turned on his
pursuers. A barrage Of rock halted
the guards momentarily Then they
pressed on. AS the leader approached
Ankowicz lifted a heavy stone and
swung 1t above his head.
Keep back or II brain you" he
threatened.
Another instant and he would have
hurled the rock, missile heavy
enough to have killed the keeper,
when Thomas Shaw, one of the vet
eran guards of the institution, on duty
in one Of the guards towers ON the
quarry stockade, interviewed.
Realizing the peril of his fellow
officer, Shaw levelei his rifle and fired

crashed harmlessly to the ground and
the convict was knocked spinning by
the heavy calibered bullets, which
struck him just above the heart.
He was dead before he could be car
RED into the prison hospital.
AnkowicZ was received here Jure
Z. 1920. from Cook county, sentenced
to from one to two years for being
found with burglar tools in his pos
session. Before that he had served
q term at the Green Castle state farm,
a prison at Green Castle. Ind He had
also served part CT term in the Chi
cago house of correction t.
He escaped from there and would
have been taken back there to finish
his term upon his release from the
penitentiary. He was about Al years
old.
AT the coroners inquest the jury re-
turned a verdict of iustitlabe homo
eide, generating Shaw of all blame
in the conVict,s death.

PHANTOM SHIPS SAID
TO BE BOOZE RUNNERS

Atlantic City July 19-Pirate
yarns and reports Of mysterious ships
seen lurking along the trade lanes of
the North Atlantic may be explained
by the discovery Of blockade run
ners" that have ben landing cargoen
OF contraband liquor on the jersey
coast in the opinion of revenue agents
in this district. In maritime circles
stories have been told of strange YES
sells approa ching merchant men on
the open seas as though prepared to
attack, and then dashing off into the
darkness without observing the inviol-
able rule of answering code signals.
1t was even suggested that these
spectre like craft might be able to
explain the disappearance OF certain
vessels. What revenue men believe
to be the reason of such actions on
the high seas was brought about by
the seizure of whiskey valued at
$4,000 which is said TO have landed
along a cove near Wildwood, N. j..
from an alleged mystery ship" 1t
IS thought probable that the blockade
runners also transferred their illegal
cargoes to vessels bearing authorita-
tive clearance papers. This the Off
Gals said, would account for the
strange actions of the mystery ships.
The explanation is this:
The captain of the liquor vessel is
in structed to meet another vessel
bound for an American port at a CIV
on point along the coast and transfer
his liquor which can then be landed
with a legitimate cargo. When the
"runner" reaches the rendezvous it
approaches various vessels and fail
ing to get the proper signals, hurries
cit to prevent discovery.
