YOUTH WHO FLED REFORMATORY
TAKEN AT MOTHERS BEDSIDE
Fugitive Tells Police He Fear
ed She Might Die Before
His Sentence Expired.
Declares He Intended to Re-

F1lial affection which drew 20-year-
old Archibald Lyles through the bar
riers of Lorton Reformatory to the
bedside of his sick mother here also
guided the strong arm of the law in
reaching out to capture him.
The youthful fugitive, who escaped
week ago in company with another
young man, was trapped by police last
night as he visited his bedridden
mother, Mrs. Cora PaSsman, at Sibley
Hospital. He was to be returned to
Lorton today.
When placed under arrest by kind
but firm officers, Lyles explained he
planned the escape when he grew fear
full that his mother might die before
his release, nearly three years hence,
under a HOUSEKEEPING sentence.
Intended to Return.
He said he intended to return Volun-
tarily to the reformatory after his visit
to the hospital. Lyles' companion,
James Mclaughlin, serving a similar
sentence, had no such inpelling motive,
however, police stated. Mclaughlin was
trailed by bloodhounds and captured
before he had gotten far.

Accordingly, hospital authorities were

Last night they telephoned police

as it had been presumed he would, and
that he had gone Immediately to the

"PANTHER SCARE" IS REVIVED
AS POLICE FOLLOW TRACKS
Worker Reports Seeing AMI
NAL "Too Big for a Cat"
Near Benning Freight Station
Precinct Officers Trace
Strange Imprints Until Early
Morning Snow EraSes Them.

Northeast Washingtons panther
scare" was revived today with the most
tangible clue offered so far that a
wild animal has taken up abode In the
Benning section.
A trackman reported to police of No.
II precinct that he had seen an ami
NAL too large to be cat and not re-
sembling a dog" in the vicinity of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Freight Station
at Benning around o'clock this morn
ing. And, although the police have not
seen the animal, there are three police
men of No. IL who went to bed this
morning convinced that some form of
wild animal is within the confines of
the Benning section.
This conclusion was reached after the
men, Acting Sergt. W. F. McDufie and
Policemen j. E. Click and E. r. Shoe
maker, had followed tracks of the ami
NAL over the hill and valley from 3
o'clock until nearly daybreak, when they
had to give up the chase because the
fast-falling snow covered up the tracks
made when the snow first started.
Exhausted After Hunt.
Exhausted from hunt of approx
mately three hours during which they
covered approximately five miles, the
three policemen were convinced in spite
of jibes poked at them by their fellow
officers, that they had not been tracking
any domestic animal
Have you ever seen dog jump over
fence and land some Is feet from
where he took off, or jump some Is or
20 feet over ditch?" Click said with
emphasis to fellow officers who ex-
pressed the belief that the wild animal
was only dog.
mo, sir, that was no dog" chimed in
McDuffie, who had covered his miles
carrying a sawed-off shot gun.
Report that the animal had been
seen was first received by Policeman
j. E. Hartman, on desk duty at No. IL
He Immediately notified Shoemaker,
on mounted duty in Benning territory,
and then McDuffie and Click Joined
Shoemaker. The latter was forced to
abandon his horse to proceed over
rough territory, the route taking the
men in CIRCLES from Benning road and
Kenilworth avenue, where they first
spotted the tracks.
Over Winding Trail.
From the Benning road and Kenil-
worth avenue intersection the tracks
were followed toward the abattoir at
Benning, from there back across Ana
costa road toward some vacant house,
and then up over a hill and through
the woods, back down hill over bitches,

When the first fire apparatus arrived,
a few minutes later, the blaze had
gained considerable Roadway, having
eaten through the outside wall touch,

through the entire upper floor, and
flames, attacking the roof, shot high
into the air.
Immediately after turning in the
alarm Senator Pittman rushed to the
servants quarters and awakened his
three colored men servants, John Ward,
Samuel Skeid and Edward Bass. They
were pouring chemicals from three fire
extinguishers always kept in the house

scene.

quarter of mile from the nearest fire

Police reserves from the third pre-
cinct responded to the alarm, but due
to the inaccessibility Of the estate apd
the lack of neighbors their crowd-han-
ding services were not required.

searchers quit.
The tracks measured some three and
a half inches wide and approximately
four and a half inches long. Some
times, the policemen said, during the
hunt, the tracks would appear fresh in
the new fallen snow and then become
dim At about this point they would
find a spot where an animal had APP

would again become distinct again
