MILLION DOLLAR"
ROBBER CAUGHT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 10
Extraordinary precautions to guard
against possible attempts at escape
by Gerald Chapman, notorious mail
robber, were taken by federal au-
thorities today while they awaited
word from the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta for disposal of their pris-
oner.
Chapman escaped from Atlanta
and the prison authorities have first
call on him." L. S. Marshal l.. p
Meredith declared.
Chapman was the brains OF the
most sensational mail robbery in
New York City when he and two
companions held up mail truck
on October a, 1921, and escaped
with cash and securities valued at
more than $1,400,00O.
A man of scholarly attainments
and appearance Chapman was of
the fictional school. of "gcntlemen
burglars. ~ While 4 nationwide and
even worldwide search was conduct
ed, he Travelled about the country
and Europe with impunity.
At last one of the bandits was
captured, confessed and implicated
Chapman and George Anderson. The
pair were arrested and sentenced TO
% years Imprisonment in the fed
eral penitentiary at Atlanta. Very
little of the loot was. recovered.
Before his capture in July, 1922,
Chapman had added to his success
ful robberies, holdups in Niagra
Falls, Bimghamton and Fulton, n. V.
Six months after he entered At
lanta, Chapman and Frank Grey, a
forger were hospital patients. They
made ropes of their bed sheets and
during the night gained the ground
in safety. Then they short cir
cuited the c-actric wires that con-
trolled the lights of the prison and
went over the walls with the aid
of graphing hooks supplied by con-
fcderates.
In the chase that cnsued, Chap
man was severely wounded in the
hip and arm. Both he and Grey
were captured.
Utilizing, the same method as in
his previous escape, Chapman s eff
forts met success eight days later.
In this adventure a 80 foot drop to
tie ground was necessary, after
which Chapman went back into the
hospital and hid in the basement,
There he remained until the follow
ING dav when he was found by a
nurse The nurse tainted and in
the excitement, Chapman walked
out of the building.
