Police Hunt in
Vain for Youths
Who Fled Belfast Jail

Belfast, Me. oct. 1i-Not the
slightest clue as to the Whereabouts
of the four Boston boys who broke
Jail during Wednesday night has
been obtained. 1t is believed that
they have crossed the line into Cam
ada and that they were assisted by
outside help. People living in the
vicinity of the Jail saw a. car with
dimmcd lights standing by the road
side and a little later heard it start
up and drive away. The putty on
the outside of the window through
which they escaped. was cut clean,
a job impossible to do on the in
side. There is no doubt in the mind
of Sheriff Littlef1eld that confed-
crates from the outside slipped
hacksaw to the young convicts and
were waiting with car to take
them away. The boys. who came
to Maine, they say. on June 10. are
Arthur Diban. Joseph Corey, Will
liam J. Scannell and George OAR
ragh. all of Charlestown, Mass.
and were sentenced at the Septem-
Der term of the Waldo county su-
preme Juulcidl court 10 clSnt H1OHtHS

ragh. who got ten months, having
tried twice to break Jail while await
ing the report of the grand jury.
They were held on the charge Of
stealing Ford car in Belfast. aft
err a Nelie which they had stolen in
Bangor and loaded with goods stolen
by their own confession from The
Outlet, had become disabled in Bel
fast They had reached the Bath
ferry with their plumber on their way
to Boston when apprehended At
first they gave fictitious names.
with the exception of Corey but
later upon confession to the Bangor
thefts admitted who they were.
During the four months they were
in Jail. Darragh made two unsuc-
cessful attempts to break Jail. and
two men came here from Boston to
see them and were detected in try
ing to slip hacksaw to them. Dur
ing the past week men have been
seen lettering near the Jail and were
warned off by the sheriff. With the
exception of Scannell who is 10, the
BOYS are II years old and it was
their youth that prevented Chief
Justice Leslie c. Cornish, who SEN
fenced them. from sending them to
the State prison.
