Read ~ NOTRlCEtDl’DRRYYET Escaped Desperado and Some of His Pals Still at Large. SEVERAL REPORTED GLEWS. ‘They Will All Be Investigated, Though Little' Reliance Is Placed In Them. Quigley Captured In a_Car at New Hamburg. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., April 13.—-The officials of the Matteawan Asylum For the Criminal Insane, from which Train Rob- ber Oliver Gurtis Perry, John Quigley, Patrick McGuire, Michael O’Donnell and Frank Davis escaped Wednesday night, have not yet succeeded in finding the the convicts after their escape or to the present whereabouts of any of them except Quigley. The officials who are searching for the fugitives are doing so without anything to enable them to follow on one particular theory, and there seems to be little hope of the immediate capture of the dangerous criminals. . The superintendent of the asylum, Dr. H. E. Allison, thinks the men have not ’ gone far from the roads and thinks it al- most impossible for them to make their way over the mountains in the vicinity. He has had all the public roads and gener- ally used mountain paths guarded, and if the hunted men try either of these ways of escape they will surely be caught. Dr. Allison believesthe men are in bid- ing in the mountains, waiting for an op- portunity to .get away. With that belief he feels confident that all five of the con- victs will eventually be captured. There now seems to be little doubt that the convicts had assistance from some one employed in the asylum, and Dr. Allison says a most searching investigation will be made to discover the guilty person or per- sons. Watchman Carmody Suspended. Watchman Carmody, who was overpow- ered, gagged, bound and locked in Perry’s cell by the men while making their escape, has been relieved from duty temporari- ly, although no accusation has yet been made against him. No suspicion of his fidelity has heretofore been entertained, and he is very emphatic in his denials of any complicity in the escape of the men. Carmody is 35 years old and lives ‘with his wife and child in a pretty little frame cottage about half a mile from the asylum. His formal report of the attaekupon him and the escape of'the convicts is the same, in all its main features, as the story of the escape told in these columns. He says that when making his 10 o’clock round Perry, through a peephole in the door, of his cell, asked fora drink of water. As Perry had frequently made such, re- quests before, Carmody thought nothing of it and turned to go for the water. As he did so Perry, McGuire and Quigley sprang upon him from behind. There was a struggle, and Carmody was gagged, bound and locked in Perry’s cell. The other two men were then released with the watch- man’s keys. and all five men then made their way through the attic of the chapel to the roof of the main building of the asy- lum and thence to freedom. “The patients could not have got- out unless somebody opened their doors from the outside,” said Carmody. “I believe that some one unlocked the doors between 9 and 11 o’clock, which allowed the men to assault me as they did when I passed through the ward at the later hour. ' Perry Was Prepared. “When Perry, with the assistance of his associates, bound me to his 'bed, he had the sheets torn into strips and in-readiness. This makes me think that the escape was planned in‘ detail beforehand. ”After they had me securely bound Quigley’ took my pistol and keys from me while Perry leaned over me and said: “ ‘I don't want to kill you, but my lib- ert‘y is clearer to me than your job is to you.‘ - ”I think I laid there nearly an hour aft- er the men had gone before any one came to me. ” Carmody’s neck is badly scratched and swollen, but otherwise he shows no marks of the rough treatment he received at the hands of the desperate men. It is reported that the escape of Perry and his companions is causing the New York Central railway and American Ex- press company ofiioials a great deal of un- easiness. It is feared that the escaped cons victs, under the leadership of Perry, may attempt a daring train robbery in order to get means with which to escape to a for- eign country. There now seems to be no doubt that Perry was the leader in the whole scheme of escape. There were many who doubted Perry's insanity when he was removed from the prison to the asylum and thought him a clever actor rather than an insane man. These people are now saying, “I told you so.” Vague rumors have reached the asylum authorities from various localities. Today Superintendent Allison heard that two men had been seen to cross the river in a rowboat at Lowpoint, about three miles north of the asylum, at 72:30 yesterday morning, and he has sent keepers to in yestigate it. . Says He Saw Perry. A night watchman employed in the New York and New England yards says that he saw several strangers jump a freight train bound east about midnight Thursday. James McCarl, a brakeman who claims to know Perry, says that he saw him in the railroad yard about the same time that the watchman says he saw the other men. Superintendent Allison is inclined to discredit this report, for the reason that two trusted attendants from ,the time, and he believes they would have seen the men. He is, however, investigat- ing it. ' The superintendent is also - busying .li' himself in making a careful examination of the isolation ward, from which the men escaped, and is endeavoring to solve the . ll watery or how the doors of their cells be- slightest clew as to the course taken by. the asylum were on watch in the yard at ‘ eTfme’ Linlbeked. He has intermgated' the three keepers who had keys to the room besides Carmody, the man whom Perry and his associates overpoworcd, but they are unable to throw any light on the mystery. James Boyle and Christopher Nulty, two of the keepers who had keys to the cells. were asleep in their room, which is directly adjacent to the isolation ward, but both say that they heard nothing of the scufiie between Carmody and the con- victs until they were aroused by the head ‘ keeper after the men-had fled. Quigley Caught at New Hamburg. Later.——John Quigley, one of the escaped Matteawan Insane asylum criminals, was captured at New Hamburg, near here, about 1 o’clock this afternoon. He was caught in a box car by William E. Traber. Searching In New York. NEW YORK, April 13.-—Detective Ser- geant McCloskey, who is in charge of the detective bureau, again had a large force of men searching the city today for the es- caped men, but as yet nothing has been learned to indicate that the men sought a hiding place here. ‘ . The Man, Who Fought Perry. OSWEGO, N. Y., April 13.——-The state- ment that Perry robbed American Ex- press Agent Mclnerney’s car of its valua- bles in 1891 is erroneous. McInerney was promoted to be manager here for fighting and saving all valuables aboard at that time. Another Attempt to Break Jail. BELVIDERE, N. J.. April 13.—William Leahy, alias Barry, a notorious hotel thief who was arrested at Elizabeth about two weeks ago and brought here, almost 05‘ caped from the Warren county jail. Leahy had the run of the corridor, and be bid himself behind a door just asa young Woman domestic employed by the sheriff entered the corridor to bring food to one of the prisoners. He overpowered her. He placed his hand over her mouth and then procured the keys from her pocket. ’ ' Leahy unlocked the door leading from the corridor, and after passing out locked the door again, preventing the secs. 0 of any of the other prisoners. Andre , the colored condemned wife murderer, found the; woman in a fainting condition and managed to raise an outcry. Leahy was followed to the river and re- captured. , __._ STEVENSON’S WORKS. Arrival of His Executor With Manuscripts. The Novelist’s Estate. SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-_—Charles Bax- ter, whom Robert Louis Stevenson named as executor of his will, has arrived in this city from the Samoan islands. He has with him the manuscripts of Mr. Steven- son’s last works, which he is taking to England for publication. Of the unpub- lished works left by Stevenson, Mr. Baxter has already sent home for publication the manuscript of “St. Ives,” a novel which is almost completed, wanting but two chapters. It will be published as it is. The story is of the capture and escape of a French officer during the Napoleonic wars from a prison in Scotland and his adven- tures in this country and in France. _ Mr. Baxter also has with him the proofs of what will be entitled the “Vailima Let- ters. ” This is a series of monthly letters written by the novelist to his friend Sidney Colville, keeper of the prints at the British museum. The letters constitute a journal of his life in Samoa. They Were sent once a month. Mr. Baxter also has the manu- script of what Mr. Stevenson had written of the ”Heir of Hermiston, ” the work to which he was devoting himself“ at the time of his death. About athird of it had been written, but it will be published as it is. Besides these there is a small book of fables and letters to-children. These are mostly letters written to his young heir, Austin Strong, by Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson’s estate will , probably prove to be worth between $100, 000 and $150,000. The Stevenson place at Samoa consists of 800 acres. Mr. Stevenson might have been worth considerably more but for his abundant hospitality. Every needy one was welcome at his home, where he maintained an expon sivo establishment. The llIadge Yorke Inquest Begun. PHILADELPHIA, April 13.——Deputy Coro- ner Dugan today held the official inquiry into the death of Margaret Winifred Drys— dale (Madge Yorke), the young actress who was shot and killed by Actor James B. Gentry, in Zeiss’ hotel, on the night of Sunday, Feb. 17 last. The jury rendered this verdict: “ The jury find that Margaret W. Drysdale came to her death by gunshot wounds received at the hands of James B. Gentry.” Gentry was remanded. Prominent Young Man as a Bandit. SPOKANE, Wash., April 13.——The iden- tity of the young bandit arrested in Cali- fornia for the robbery of the station agent at Arroyo Grand, when $7,261 in money ‘was taken, has apparently been established as Charles Clayton Bump of Spokane, one of the best known young men of this city, i a youth against whom no breath of suspi- : cion was ever uttered. The discovery has created a sensation here. Immersed a' Dying Man. BALTIMORE, April 13.—State’s Attorney Hamill is investigating the death of Jacob Mosser. Ten days ago his physician told him to prepare to die. His friends, being Dunkards, persuaded him that he ought to be immersed. He assented, and his friends carried him to a stream and im- mersed him three times in the ice cold wa- ter. Three days afterward he died. American \Varships For Syria; CONSTANTINOPLE, April 13.—The im- pending arrival of the American warships San Francisco and Marblehead off the coast of Syria has created a sensation in government circles here. The United States minister, Mr. Alexander'W. Ter- rell, replying to a question, on the subject, said that the war vessels were only sent to protect American citizens. Severe Storm In British Columbia. VICTORIA, B. 0., April l3.—A fierce thunderstorm raged pver part of the main-r land of British Columbia between Blaine and Whatcom, where-a gale of hurricane force was felt.
