Inc escape of Van Gorder and
Won Esch, accomplished March Q
through forged court orders, was
revealed yesterday when Van Cor
der, arrested for forging money Or
ders, was recognized by postal in
spectors.
The inspectors who knew Van
Gorder was supposed to be in the
Leavenworth prison, learned he and
Won ESch had been released on a
writ Of habeaS corpus and three
documents purporting to be orders
from the United States circuit
court at Topeka, Kans. Prison au-
thorltles received the fake docu-
merits through the mail.
Court Furnished Forms
Van Gorder obtained the docu-
mentS from the clerk of the district
court at Topeka last month when
he applied for two certified copies
OF a writ Of habeas corpus on which
he was to be taken to Cape Girar-
deau, Mo, for trial on charges of
postal theft, according to Alton H.
Skinner, assistant United States
district attorney for Kansas.
I The forger altered n of the
copies changing the case number
from 70 to ITO and the date from
February 8 to February %. He
then obtained a blank letterhead
with the government Watermark
and wrote a letter purporting to
have been written by the United
States marshal at Topeka attesting
that the copies of the writ and The
copies of orders from the federal
circuit court of appeals were true
copies of documents on file in the
federal district court. The COPIES
OF the court orders, two from the
st. Louis circuit court of appeals.
and n from the circuit court of
appeals at Chicago. purported to be
orders reversing Van Gorder's pre-
VlouS sentences on forgery charges.
Former Attempt Failed
Apparently the documents were
mailed to the prison officials BY an
outside accomplice or slipped into
the mail by a convict employed TO
sort and open letters.
1t was recalled by government Of
flc1als that Van Gorder ATTEMPTED
a similar forgery to escape eight
wears ago. At that time he forged

LUMP SUM FAVORED
FOR PARK PURCHASE
Havenner Tells Sixteenth Street
Heights Group of Savings
to Be Effected.

Favoring a proposal to obtain $16,-
900 900 through congressional appropri-
alton for extending the park system OF
the National Capital and nearby Mary
land and Virginia, DR.. George c. Haven
ner. president of the Federation of Citi-
Gems Associations, addressing meeting
If the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens
Association in Northminster Chapel
Alaska avenue and Kalmia road, last
night. said it would be profitable UNI
dertaking, inasmuch as thu money would
be made available Immediately, If the
legislation were passed, whereby land
for a great amount OF park extension
could be purchased and developed at
a cost far below that necessary should
the Park and Planning Commission be
compelled to wait until funds we're ap-
propriated annually for the purpose.
There would be no interest charge on
the money advanced, he said, and the
District would have to repay it at the
rate of only 81 100000 a year, and, as
the commission now is being provided
with nearly this amount each year, II
would make practically no difference In
arrangement.
A communication from the District
Firefghters' Association. urging support
of the association in an effort to obtain
increased pay for members. was referred

tivcs will enter a new phase tomorrow,
with presentation of the Fem bill to
the rules committee for consideration.

adoption of any reapportionment meas
ure submitted in the past decade" fol-
lowing a conference with his colleagues.

Gratis in the House and many Repub-
licans would oppose the measure.
