AS Shoes ESCAPE
Two Emerge From Packing
Case After Trenton Freight
Handler Dumps 1t.
DETECTIVES CHASE FAILS
Criminals Flee in Civilian
Garb, Leaving Prison Clothes
in Bottom Of Box.

Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
TRENTON. April ia large packing
case labelled Shoes and consigned
to the State Hospital for the Insane
at Morris Plains began to rock vio-
lently this afternoon on a truck at
the freight station of the Pennsylvania
Railroad here. A freight handler no
ticed the curious behavior of the case
and turned 1t over, dumping it to the
platform. The next moment two men,
wearing civilian clothing, but with
white faces of convicts. popped out OF
the box and ran out of the station as
fast as they could.
The freight handler knew that the
packing case had come from the State
Penitentiary. and he surmised that the
two men were escaping oonvicts. he
gave the alarm. which was heard py
three railroad detectives. These men
pursued the two men who had popped
from the packing case and fred several
shots. but the fugitives escaped. AFTER
they had gone the railroad authorities
notified 6e prison authorities ana
learned that John Cohen. serving three
wears from Passaic county for robbery,
and Charles Schleger, serving ten 10
fifteen years from Bergen county Tor
similar crime, were missing.
The packing case in which Cohen and
Schleger had secreted themselves was
one Of three. supposedly filed with
shoes. and shipped to the State Hos
pital at Morris Plains. The prison
authorities said tonight that they hso
not been able TO find out how the two
men managed to hide IN the case, ioi
how they had been able TO obtain tne
civilian clothing which they wore wpeh
they popped out or the case at the ran
road station. Their prison uniforms
were found in the bottom OF the box.
The boxes left the prison shortly pe-
fore noon on motor truck. Inc one
in which the two men hid was hardly
large enough to hold them and their
r,osition must have been decidedly un-
comfortable. The case had lid which
could be opened from the inside ana
which was fastened by a hook IN Two
OF the top corners. In the center the
two men had pfaceo wooden par
