The two young men who have been
connned in the/steel cages at Norwsik
police headquarters since Thursday,
awaiting trial for numerous burglaries
in town, which area‘ttributed to men,
sawed their way to freedom. last night.
They left behind them as mementoes
two sections of three-quarter inch
' steel bars about a foot in length, which
they removed from the cage.
The burglars referred to are John
Tanner and Ward Phillips. They were
captured by the Norwsilt police, load-
ed down with bags of plunder "which
they had secured from Brown's shoe
ntore and Brundsge’s meat market in
East Norwsik. They were held at
Nonwaik because the authorities were
working along other lines, and had al-
ready fastened the Joselovsky burglary
st Benedict Farms on them and has
necured most of the plunder taken at
that time.
The escape of the prisoners was dis—
covered shortly before midnight. Chief
of Police Bradley and Oilicer Bartram
were eating their lunch. when the chief
felt a draft from the back window of
the cell room, and asked Officer Bar-
tram to pull it down. The oihcer
complied. As he turned back he look-
ed to see how the prisoners were gei-
ting along. Striking a match he saw
that the call was empty.
“They‘re gone." gasped Bartram,
thoroughly overcome with surprise.
, "Whose gone?" naked the chief. ev-
. idently thinking that "Bart” was jok-
ng.
“The prisoners.”
- “The Devil you say!" exclaimed the
chief, and with a bound he was beside
the oer, and by the aid of matches
both were staring Into the vacant cage.
The prisoners were gone; there was no
doubt of that. They had disappeared
completely and upon first sight the
manner and method by which they had
left was baffling.
The lights were turned on, the cage
was quickly unlocked, and a hasty ex-
amination made. ‘lt was then discow
end that towards the back side of the
cell. at about the height of the win-
dow,'two bars of the cage had been
cut out, leaving an aperture about a
foot square. The prisoners had crawl-
ed through the opening to the window,
shoved it up, and dropped to the
ground. Sneaking along the docks
and dodging the police to get across
Water street, they probably went
through the tunnel and up the Dan-
bury railroad track.
Further investigation showed that
the escaped prisoners had probably
reached out through the bars of the
cage and extinguished the light to fur.
ther conceal their escape and to con-
vey the impression that they had gone
to sleep. This was successful in a
measure, for the police did u dis-
turb them after they looked upon
them early in the evening.
The marks on the window sill show-
ed without doubt that the prisoners
had escaped by that avenue. The im-
print of their heels could be am:
the soft earth under the window,
the weeds were also trampled down.
During the investigation a general
alarm had been sent out and messages
sent for Officer Hunt and Special Um-
cer Leatherland to take up the chase.
Special Oillcer Parker was also sum—
moped.
Officer Parker gave the ilrst and pro«
bably the only real clue. He said his
son Charles came in about 10 o'clock
and informed him that he saw two fei-
Iows on Wilton avenue. near the el.
ectric light station. and that if he was
not positive that Tanner and Phillips
were locked up. he would have sworn
that they were the men he saw. Young
Parker was so positive of the identi-
ty of the men that his father, with a
lantern, went up the track as far as
Catherine street. but could see no one,
and returned. At midnight he was me
formed of the escape.
Olcern were posted to watch all
freight trains and empty freight cars,
as well as the haunts the boys had
visited. The police in the neighbor-
ing cities were notided of the escape
of the prisoners.
Other odicers scoured the country.
but no else could be secured of the
fugitives. .
During a search of the yard back of
the station house a casekaife was
’found. It was hacked, but had appar-
ently not been exposed to the weath-
er. The chief took the knife and has
laid it carefully away. He deer not
think the prisoners could have need
it as a saw to cut through the bars.

A special meeting of the South Nor-
wsik Board of Councilmen was held
last night. Meyer J. Milton Coburn
presided. and Councilmen Charles N.
Smith, Charles 7. Boutwell. Henry P.
Morgan and George Iv. Waters were
present. Attorney William F. Tam-
many, assistant city. clerk, acted as
clerk in the absence of Attorney Jos-
eph R. Taylor, whose sister is criti-
cally ill.
Street Commissioner William B.
Reed said that whenuthe improvements
reached the John H. lerris’ coal yarn
property. owned by' the heirs of the
Lewis Raymond estate. they could not
seem to make satisfactory arrange-
ments with the owners. The commis-
sioners thought the improvement
should at least extend to that point
and the Board thought they would
have the layout hand through to Wash-
ington street, and not stop a little
short of it, as originally contemplated.
Engineer Charles N. Wood explained
the maps exhibited. He said the north
end of the coal shed projected five feet
on the proposed improvement. and the
south end two. and one-half feet.
The following resolution, prepared
by Corporation Counsel John H. Light.
was then read and passed unanimous-
ly:
Whereas, The Council propose to al-
ter and widen Water street. between
Washington and the Norwalk Iron
Works Company’s building, situated
north of the Railroad bridge, by tak-
ing substantially live feet from the
property adjoining said street on the
east: and therefore.
Resolved, That the clerk be and he
hereby is requested to prepare and sign
a notice, describing in general terms
said proposed action. and specifying
the iitli day of November. 1899, at 8
o'clock, p. m.. as the time, and the
Council Chamber so the place, when
and where all persons whose land is
proposed to be taken therefor or which
may be elected thereby. may appear
and be heard in relation thereto. and
that the name be published according
to requirements of Section 37 of the
city charter.
« The Council then adjourned.
NORWALK EVENING SCHOOL.
Starts of with Large Registration and a
Good Corps of Teachers.
The Norwalk evening school will be-
gin lts regular sessions Monday even,
ing, October 30. At that time a fur-
ther opportunity will be given for reg-
istration. The number of scholars
enrolled thus far is in advance of what
it has been in prevrous years.
The Norwalk branch of the school
will be in charge of Principal Wighhm.
of the Over River school. Competent
and experienced assistants. as far as
they may be required, will be engaged
for the work at that can of the town.
In regard to this a more deilnite an-
nouncement will be made later.
George 0. J. Lamphere, principal oi
the South Five Mile River School. has
been engaged to take charge as prin-
cipal of the South Norwalk depart-
ment. Mr. Lamphere will teach
book-keeping and kindred subjects.
Mechanical drawing will be taught by
Dewitt C. Allen, a graduate of the
Normal School at New Britain anu a
teacher of successful experience as
teacher of Sloyd in South Manchester,
principal of the high schools in Pres-
ton and Lyme, and more recently mas<
ter in the University school at Bridge-
port. Mr. Allen has taught mechanical
drawing four years and has unusual
qualifications for giving instruction in
that branch of study. Other subjects
will be in charge of Mrs. Cornelia W.
Bennett, assisted by Miss Natalie Dis-
brow. Both of these teachers have
had experience in the evening school
and their work is too well known to
require comment. ‘
Altogether the evening school starts
oil under very favorable auspices, both
in regard to the teachers who have
been secured and the character and ex-
tent of the registration.

Judge Silas A. Robinson separated
three more mismated couples yesterday
at the short calendar session of the
superior court. There were live divorce
cases on the list.
. Ida F. Whitney, of Darlen, had an
unpleasant life with Arthur Whitney.
Mrs. Whitney said that after they were
married in November, 1893, they went
to live with her parents. They did not
pay any board, and at the end of a few
months her father told them they
would have to get a house of their own
Her husband said he thought when he
married her he was going to live with
her folks. They went to keeping
house, but he did not provide anything
for their support, and they were com- ‘
pelled to move several times. in Jan-
uary, 1896. she was sick. and without
anything to eat. Her parents came to
her assistance and finally took her

insane for several years.

was granted a decree, and the custody
of her two children. aged five and
twelve years. -
Intemperance and cruelty were ill:
grounds for the application of Ellen
Morgan of Danbury, for a decree fron-
Miio R. Morgan and the custody of two
minor children. The couple were mar
ried May 13, 1893. Mrs. Morgan is an
attractive woman and is now living in
Bridgeport. In her own behalf she tes-
tified that her married life was a con-
tinusl round of misery. Her husband
would come home intoxicated and
abuse her shamefully. He thoughi
nothing of knocking her down with a
kick or throwing such missles as glass
tableware and lighted lamps. On sun-_
'dry occasions he was arrested and'oncr
serVed a sentence in jail. She was
compelled to leave him a short time af-
ter their marriage. Annie Van 'l‘nsseil
and Mrs. Emma Ives, friends of the
applicant, testified in corroboration of
her statement. They noticed the com
mencement of the habitual intemper-
once and cruelty six months after the
marriage. A decree with custody of the
children was granted.

Mrs. Chase belongs in Bridgeport

Booth. of Trinity Church. and life look-
ed pleasant for them. They evidently
did not find matrimony all honey. for

Mrs. Chase said she accused him of as-
sociating with other women, but he
said that was false. During her mar-
ried life she had worked in Warner
Brothers to support herself. and often
times had provided money for her hus-
band. In reply to her lawyer, Mrs.
Chase said she had never been to a
certain hotel with her husband.
Detective Edward Cronan was call-
ed and testified that he saw Chase at
the Jackson House, May it), In company
with a woman in black. who was not
his wife. and that he tried to get .a
room there. butd id not succeed, being
informed the house was filled. Later.
June 21. he saw him again in company
with the same woman.
"Is that the date you rely upon for
your proof?" the court asked. Mr
Klein replied that It was.
“That's after the date of the writ."
Judge Robinson said. Mr. Klein ex-
piained that an amendment had been
allowed October I3 and that he thought
under that he could go ahead.
The court thought otherwise. that
the adultery must be proven prior to
the date of bringing the petition.
