PRISONER WHO
ESCAPED JAIL
Is CAPTURED
Bernard Smith Who Made
Successful Getaway Is
Taken i'm SherbrOOke

In commenting upon the escape
from the Caledonia County Jail on
Tuesday last week of Bernard
Smith of Sherbrooke, arrested OH
a charge of illegally transporting
intoxicating liquors through this
section, Sheriff Wilbur III. Wor-
then predicted that the prisoner,
who made a successful flight from
the custody of the authorities,
would be back in his custody by
today, Monday, October 10.
Although Sheriff Worthen
does not profess to be possessed
of powers claimed by clairvoyants
he nevertheless has vindicated his
assertion that the escaped Jail bird
would be back within the clutches
of the law on this very day. Smith
is now reposing in his old cell at
the county jail and will be arrang-
ed before Judge Harrv Blodgett in
Municipal Court tomorrow morn
ing 70 receive sentence.
He pleaded guilty to the charge
of transporting whiskey when he
was brought before the court on
Saturday, October 1, and his case
was continued for sentence. He
was remanded to Jail in default Of
bail.
On the pretense that he desired
to put in a long distance telephone
call to his home in Sherbrooko,
Smith was allowed by Sheriff
Worthen to go into the Jail Office
and use the phone. While
the prisoner apparently was telc-
phoning or waiting for the call to
be put through Sheriff Worthen
stepped into the kitchen for a
moment. The prisoner tool
long chance and decided to at
tempt get away. He succeeded.
When the sheriff returned to the
Office TO fetch the man back to his
cell he found Smith had taken
French leave.
A dragnet was spread immedi-
ately for the apprehension of the
man. Police and sheriffs of every
town between here and Sher-
brooke were warned of Smiths e5-
cape and a sharp lookout was
maintained by the authorities of
the various towns. 1t was believed
by Sheriff Worthen that he would
attempt to get back to his family
in Sherbrooke and this proved to
be true. He was arrested Friday
afternoon was 80 minutes after
his arrival.
The arrest was made bv Cana

a sacrifice appeared as Huggings'
choice to put the Yanks in front
again.
"The Yankees are far from
beaten" said Manager Higgins.
"They have not failed in a cruci-
cial series this season and they
won't fail in this" he said.
Manager McGraw had high
praise for the playing of his team.
"The morale of the players is ex-
cellent. They share my confd-
ence," he declared. The Giants
chief also praised "Babe" Ruth's
gameness in playing with painfully
sore arm. Ruths injured arm did
not keep him from making his
first home run of the series yester-
day and he today said that he
would play as long as he was need
ed.
Good weather was indicated to-
wards noon, early signs of rain dis
appeared and the sun was shining,
but the air was somewhat chilly.
