Woman Gives Alarm When
Fifty Prisoners Beat Jersey
+. Keeper Unconscious.

ELIZABETH, N. j., July 23.-7
Quick wit on the part OF Mrs
Fanny Dodd, matron Of the jail, 1t
was learned, prevented 1lItV-tWo
prisoners from escaping in spec
tacular manner.
Keeper Jerry Veltrie was beaten
almost to death with mop handles
when the inmates set upon MIN.
His condition is critical.
The agonized shrek Of the keeper
as he fell unconscious under a
rain Of blows alarmed Mrs. Dodd,
who hurried to the home of Sheriff
Johnston nearby.
Johnston pressed policemen and
citizens into a posse, which sur
rounded the Jail, and the escape
was foiled in the nick of time.
The local police accuse Charles
Rodgers, alias Robert Donovan, OF
No. 855 Seventy-secOnd street,
Brooklyn, and Frank thinner, Of
No. 1914 Surf avenue, Coney Island,
Of being the ring leaders In the
plot for a jail break. RODGERS and
thinner were taken to Brooklyn
police headquarters by Sergeant
Eason and. Detective Alfred Wing,
Of the Brooklyn force, who arrived
shortly after the jail break was
frustrated with extradition papers
charging the two men with nu-
merous assaults.
Eason said, the men would be
placed in the lineup and insisted
in taking Rodgers and thinner de-
spite the protests of the Elizabeth
authorities.
The plan of escape was worked
out in detail by the prisoners. Tele-
phone and electric wires had been
cut, and weapons were manufac-
tured out Of mop handles and
broomsticks.
The escape plan was sprung when
Keeper Veltr1e entered the room
where the men are allowed to smoke
and talk, intending to lock them in
their cells for the night.
Suddenly the men produced their
hidden weapons and set upon him.
He only had time to cry out once
before he was knocked senseless.
