William Cornell, under an-eat for lar ceny and on his way to e Orand Jury room to put In a defense and also to charge a policeman with a "frameup," seised an opportunity to make a daah for liberty In the Criminal Courts Building to-day. Although fifty four yeara old and holding a record of having spent twenty-eight years of hla life In prisons, Cornell Is active and wiry.

Cornell had Just pawned sis palra of trousers whloh had been stolen ear lier In the day from a clothing store at No. 2917 Third avenue, Tha store was entered with tha aid of a akaleton key. Houlihan said he found a skeleton key In Cornell's pocket, together with a lot of pawntickets. After ha had been sent to the Tontba to await tha action of the Orand Jury Cornell com plained to tho Dls1rlctAttornsy that Houlihan had put Vie Key In hla pocket. The charge was Investigated and found to he unwarranted. Then Cornell wrote to the foreman of the Orand Jury re peating hla charge that the Mttoeman had put a feurglar'e tool In hit poases slon solely because he Is an ex-convict and has no friends. The Appeal touched the Orand Jury, nnd it request was made of Assistant Dlatrlct-Attorney IVrklna that Cornell be sent for. Houlihan was aswlgnnd to escort ''nrnr!l from the Tomba. As the pnlr reached the Criminal Courts Build ing HotlMhafl turned to lock the door leading to the BrMse of Stgha, and at this moment Cornell made his break for liberty.
