Pen Fugitive
Went Dressed
as a Woman?

TACOMA Aug. 2o.--Frederick
Henry DeLage. who escaped from
the federal penitentiary on Nc
Neil island a week ago. Is prob.
ably miles away incorporating in
the garb Of a woman. in tho opin-
ion Of William viera. former in.
mate Of the prison.
This story was advanced by vi.
era. who has Just finished serving
sentence Of IS months and IL
days on a charge OF bringing Chi.
nese into the United States.
1T was frequently told around
the prison prior TO his escape that
DeLage was a woman impersonat.
or" said Viera. IT would have
been comparatively easy for him
to have changed clothes in the
woods. II they had been planted
there for him. and then walk
across the island and take the
ferry.
Anyway. that's what the boys
inside the prison think happened
10 DeLage. He was too foxy to
try to swim and take a chance OF
getting plugged"
Viera does not believe that
DeLage was wounded when Guard
Martin fired as he was escaping.
1T looked 10 me-" said the
former convict, "as tho Darby
fired In the air as a sort OF warn.
Ing. and when DeLagc didn't stop,
he just let him keep on running.
II was only a minute and he was
in the woods.
'DeLage had a good Is rninutes'
start. After he escaped, the
guards took all the prisoners in.
side the cell houses and counted
them. BY the time this had been
done and the whistle sounded, De.
Lage could have been well away"
DeLage was serving n two-year
sentence for violating the nation.
al automobile theft act. viera
says DeLa2e escaped because he
feared thai upon the completion
Of his prison term he would be re.
arrested on other charges.
