HUNT CONV|CTS IN
big CYPRESS SWAMP
Escaped Prisoners Being Searched
.... Out by Boats

Philadelphia, Pa, July 1S.-Foul
of the six convicts who escaped from
the eastern penitentiary, this city, last
hiding in the salt marshes and dense
cypress brush that fringe the lower
eastern shore of Maryland.
Those familiar with the swamp re-
gion say the convicts, supplied with
ample provisions, could evade capture
for several weeks.
The motor launch Sunbeam stolen
by them at Pocomoke City early Sun
day had but Ave or six gallons of
gasoline in her tank, according to
Coleman f. Byrd, owner of the craft,
who does not believe that the con-
victs could have travelled further
than Cristield, Md.
With the man-hunt on in the
swamps, places where the dory could
have been scuttled are being dragged
and coast guards, volunteers in motor
boats and shipping in Chesapeake
Bay are combing the coast.
J. w. kirwin, chief of police at
Cristield, and six deputies were on the
trail of four men who passed the
town afood in the morning. The
strangers avoided meeting any one
and hurried away. They Tailed with
the description broadcast by the local
police.
From Norfolk, where revenue cut
ters have joined in the chase, word
was received here Of the sighting near
Cape Charles of a small craft be-
lieyed to be the Sunbeam. The cut
tiers Manning and Mascoutin were or
dered to oyertake the vessel. Nor
folk police patrol boat No. was in
the vicinity at the time and also set
launch.
1t was learned that the fugitives are
In possession of several thousand dol
lars. The money, according to in
formation reaching detectives is a
fund obtained for the convicts through
intensive banditry since the plot to
scale the penitentiary walls was first
Matched a month ago.
The bandits were four members of
the band that, with Thomas J. Egg
gle" Gillen, held UP and robbed a
senger. Gillen, who is believed to be |
leading the escaped men, refused to |
iivulge the identity of his companions !
when arrested. In return for this the |
bandits who escaped arrest. pledged I
themselves to aid Gillen to escape and |
oined with friends of Edwards in
raising the money at the point OF pis-
.ols.
All six of the fugitives were indict-
I'd by the grand jury yesterday on IL

FORCED into WATER,
LITTLE BOY browns
Childish Franks Cost Life Of
Holyoke Youngster

Holyoke, July 1S.-Exhausted from
his EFFORTS to reach the shore when
another boy pushed him back into the
water each time that he attempted to
get out, Romeo Faucher, nine years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Omer Fau-
cher Of 81 North Bridge street, sank
to his death in a swimming pool in
the bed of the Connecticut river, be-
low the Holyoke dam shortly after 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The pulmotor of the police depart
ment and the lungmotor of the fire
department were used for an hour
and half in futile efforts to resusci-
tate the boy. The police are looking
for the boy whose thoughtless act in
preventing Faucher from leaving the
water caused the tragedy. None of
the other boys present knew the boys
name. The pool is formed by the
rocks in the river bed and favorite
swimming spot for boys from Wards
and 4, as many as SO to so going
there.
The Faucher boy had only been in
the water for few minutes. There
is n spring board there and he was
able TO jump from this board and
then swim a few strokes back to the
shore. According to the story told to
the police by other boys who were
swimming, as Faucher started to get
ashore another boy deliberately push
ed him back into the water. The lad
kept trying to get out and each time
he would be showed down under the
water and the boy who was bother
ing him seemed to think 1t great
sport.
AS Faucher was not much of a
swimmer he became exhausted and
finally sank from sight. The boy who
had been interfering with him be-
came frightened and ran away. Other
hoys gave the alarm. Hector Paten-
aude, about Is years old, of II North
East street. who had been swimming
but had dressed and was taking a
sun bath on a pile of rocks nearby,
heard the shouting and dove in after
the boy, bringing up the boy on his
second attempt, Emergency calls
were sent to the police and fire sta
tons from the municipal gas works
nearby and DR.. F. L. Gibson respond
ed to the emergency call. DR.. Stanley
c. Cox, associate medical examiner,
later viewed the body. A brother OF
Romeo, several years old was struck
and killed by an automobile while
chasing after a ball in Aldenville
about year ago.

BOYS SEARCH FOR Big
THRILL IS SATISFIED
They Get Three; First When Police
Rouse Them; Climax at
Home. -,.

Holyoke. July 1s.-Three Holyoke
boys. ranging from about 10 to is
years of age, went searching for
thrills Monday night.
They got 'em, enough to last for a
long time to come.
The youngsters decided to spend
the night in camp. They pitched
tent along the river bank above the
dam and bunked on the ground.
It was 1870 o'clock yesterday morn
Ing and the camp was discovered by
several persons who became quite
curious. They notified policeman
and second officer was called in.
The two bluecoats swooped down on
the tent and found three tired young
sters stretched out.
The boys got thrill when they
woke up and blinked their eyes under
the flashlights of the cops. They got
another thrill when they were taken
to police headquarters Hurry calls
were sent to their home and they got
a thrill when their fathers walked in
to claim them.
But the biggest thrill came to them
all when they got home.
The old family slipper was taken
off its perch behind the stove and the
neighbors probably wondered why
there was such loud wailing in the
vicinity about $3.50 o'clock in the
morning.
The boys had failed to notify their
parents of their camping plans.
But. they notified all the neighbors
when they returned.
