DutchMS and Connecticut Kallroad by James
Co > Ie one of the asylum keepers who has ben
torching duty slnco the was
detailed on learchlnl escape w
I rosilf Tho two convicts who are still at large
are Oliver Curt Perry and Frank Davis
The csplure was somewhat of an accident
Coyle thS keeper had been scouring the country
about Danbury With him were Thomas Mc
Donald and Charles Lucy They reported t
Superintendent Alison on Friday that they had
founil no trace of the fugitives The superin
tendent ordered McDonald and Lucy t proceed
to Sllslni Junction and from thee t Hope
will white Coyle was directed to proceed direct
ly to Hope ell from Danbury Helot as far on
his Journey a Pine Plaint late yesterday after
noon and flopped there for the night
This morning about 10 oclock he went to the
itstion t get a copy of TnB SUN The boy seil
Ice the papers stood on the track and Coyl
vent through the station to where the boy was
lie had Just taken the paper and was about t
t lY the boy when looking up the tracks he
taw a mans head thrust out of the door of an
empty box freight car only a few yards away
He at once recognized the face as ODonnells
and ran toward the car On Hearing the car he
fired a shot from ills revolver through the cars I
open door Almost simultaneously with the I
firing of the shot another man Jumped out ot
th door on thu opposite side of the car and ran
up the tracks As be ran around the end of the
tar Cole had no difficulty tn recognizing him
s Magulre
Coyle before givlne chase to Maguire made
sure of ODonnell whom he had no difficulty In
taking prisoner The Dan was utterly IXI I
htntted and was too weak to offer any r
tliUnc He could hardly walk After hand
cuffing ODonnell Coyle took him t the tele
graph office in tbo station where he left him
cutrded by two youths who were In the office
He then started after Mngnlre whom he could
still ice running down the tracks fully a quarter
of a mile ahead of him Coyle Is something of a
sprinter and It was not lone before ho began to
gain on his man I crowd of boys and men
were In full cry at the keepers heels
When Coyle got within longshooting distance
of his man he tired one shot from his revolver
Coyle says he didnt shoot to kill at any rate
Magulre kept right on Nearly a mile from the
station the track takes a curve and near this
the track Is i bordered by woods on either
tide On one side the growth Is I sparse and
icrubby but on tho other the underbrush I
dense with hero and there a small opening To
reach this underbrush one must plunge through
I warn p Through the swamp Magulr plunged
J and he was lon lost in the brush By this time
p Coyle was close upon him and so were the
crowd whloh bad followed from the station
As ho stood on the edge of the swamp Coyle
could leo no trace of the fugitive Some boys
who had crossed the bogs and were beating
rround In the brush soon shouted
There he I Right there In that clump
mister lose him I
Hurry up or youll 105
Co > Ie was over the bogs In an instant flrlnc at
the clump as he ran Ou his reaching edge of
the wood about fifty yards from where the boys
bad pointed out Mnguire stepped out Into the
open and yelled to the k tepp
You cant take ole back I you do youll
I ake me back dead
oe
Co > lo answered Dont be foolish Maguire
Im here to take you back and Im going to
cv en If 1 take only your dead body
1 this time Coyle was closing In on the fugi
tive When Maguiro saw that he couldnt
irlghten the keeper he called out
I right Ill glvo up if you dont shoot
WIn Loyle got up to him Magulre lay down
Union his buck and refused to move saying
If you lake 00 tack iou11 have to tarry
carr
mL Finally he thought better of it and con
c to go alone quietly Before proceeding
a foot with his prisoner Coyle searched him
I he only thing found on him was a piece of a
line fiat tile about four Inches long and half an
lath wide and a thin piece of steel about two
Inches long and a quarter of an Inch wide
which had ben fashioned Into a saw
W hen questioned by Coyle Maguire admitted
that with the file he had made the saw which
he had used cutting the two strands of wire
In the peephole In his cell Coyle got his pris
oner t the station safely and arriving there
h nas surprised to llnd Keepers McDonald and
Lucy They had walked from btleilng Junc
tion after breakfast Intending IUulnl tke train
at Pine Plains for Hopewell according to Su
perintendent Allisons orders When Coyle
reached the station ODonnell searched but
nothing was found in his clothes The other
keepers with the two prisoners left Pine Plains
at MO oclock this afternoonand reached Glen

there Isnt any trouble nt all In getting around
but tn a fog it Is Decenary to steer by tune and
> cserdny morning tho Continental got tO
minutes off her course to the west
The weather was coinpnrtlvely clear until
lllnckwells Island D reached Them Is 1 a
red light on the north end of Hlnckw ells which
I opposite Eightysixth street and there are A
red and white stationary Unlit und u fag hell on
llnlletts Point AH the Continental passed tho
Island the tog closed in The red light was seen
plainly until the boat was abreust of It all
then tho log shut out everything The boll on
IlalUtts Point began ringing Immediately and
guided by that the pilot brought the steamboat
around In safety and shaped her course t avoid
Nigger Head Point
There was a miscalculation somewhere as tn
the speed the boat was going at for she was
turned to head up tho river before she had
clsared Nigger Head Point I was flood tide and
there was water enough over the reef to permit
her to cross It and hit the Inland Mie draws 11
feet Titer I was a lookout on tho bow but he
was high above the land and tho first thing anv
body knew there was a tremendous t > mash In
front and the bow rose right up In the air and
the stern went down
Tliti engines weru stopped Immediately nrd
ntUcera ran forward to Fee what had happened
The fog was still thick but It could bo been from
the deck that the boat was aginund Order
were Belt to tho engine room to back at full
speed and the paddle wheels hhlcd but It was
of no use The ofilrers and employees on the
bat say that it all hipoomd with so little
shock that the passengers didnt know anything
was tho matter Why said one we Jut
had to go round and wake the peoplu up and tell
them we were ashore
A number of the passengers toy however that
pasnlera
the boat cam to a stop so suddenly that they
ere r t attl X
wore tossed about and half scared to death
that the women ran out of their rooms and
soreamed and the men dashed for lire pre
servers and that the portcrt and maids bud I
they could do to keep some of the moro excited
ole from jumping overboard Whether this
was so or not there was very plain evidence
yesterday that the boat had struck good and
goO anl
hard
haflA as Capt Withrmau found OUt where
Le be sent down in the
wa men hold lollnd out
whether a hole had been knocked In the wooden
bottom There wasnt any damage at ali t lure
and the oftlcurs spent the next half hour telling
everybody that there wasnt anv danger and
the boat would float ofT at this first luau tide
The tide was then falllncr rapidly The fog
lifted an hour aftr the acUdent and tho big in
etltutlons on the island loomed up No lion
had been made up to this time to notify any
body ashore of what had happenedLapt Wlth
erman ordered a ladder put over the
Bid and sent three men to the Insane
Asylum to notify the supennttnilcnt of
the company by telephone all Island is
not accessible night und strnngersare never
seen there = old goes around ringing bells
there ut night either and the ringing bv the
three mesongr stirred Ui the guards who
thought everybody asleep and in bed A force
of them gathered at the doors to be read in
case the visitors were lunatic escaped from
another building Ihie 1 appennmcu of the stran

by taking the guards out and pointing out the
lights of the steamboat Ihey were allowed
thtn to use the telephone The I Miperintcndcnt
responded with this order to the Captain
Htay there until the Chapman Wrecking
Company coins Ill send them right up
When the Cuptatn beard it ho remarked I
was going 10 stay anyway
The tide had already fallen so that the limit
rested on the reef amidships Many of thn pas
sengers went back to bed to wait fur daylight
lbs others stayed up und told lories about ship
wreck nnd how much mOl comfortable it MIK
to bo wrecked on a boat than on u trail The
fog eat In again The Chapman Companyn
boats got around just after daylight It was
then low tide The water wu so shallow that
standing onshore It seas possible 10 lee every
thing except the twenty feet of the boat that
was embedded In tho wtil and bAnk Irom
the edge of the wall to just forward of the
paddles there was clear water between the
boat and the rock bottom The high point of tin
reef just forward of the paddles served ns a rct
and kept her from sinking deeper aft fine

with both girls Ihe purse of the Williams girl
was found In his trunk Many small Incident

make It morally certain ho Is I the murderer
What the police are now working on Is to dis
cover whether he had an accomplice
fIne 1 dlCIel of the body of Hlnnche Lamont
this morning was the sequel to the terrible
crime of yeftculav For ten dajs the pollco
have had a score of men searching fur any trace
of the missing girl Yasterday tim first chIc
came with the return of the dead girls rings
which were sent to her aunt In u nowspaper
package The finding of Minnie Wllllamsa
mnagltd body and the plain proof It afforded
that bomo one familiar with the church com
mitted the crime led the tiollce to make a very
careful search for Blanche Iamonta body O
It was probable that the man who assaulted and
killed Minnie Williams had some hand In the
sudden disappearance of Miss Lamont Every
place except tho belfry was ransacked The
door to tine belfry was found locked and the
knob gone As It was late last evening the de
tectives decided to postpone further search till
this morning
Earl this morning Detective Gebson and Po
liceman Hicht resumed their search They
pried open tho belfry door and at first thought
they would have their trouble for nothing Hut
upon entering the dimly lighted dusty place tho
oftlcers were hoi rilled to discover tho nude dead
body of Blanche Lamont lying upon the floor
Tho faro of the girl was purple The hands were
crossed on the breast as though the murderer
expected to remove the body and give it burial
On the neck were marks of fingers which had
strangled the weak victim
He had stripped the body of every scrap
of clothing In his haste he had torn into strips
her stockings nnd undergarments and cast
thee shreds of hercostunm along with her hat
tIres and shoes into the corner It looked as
though he Jiad planned t come back and re
move the body at night and thus try to destroy
all traces of his crime but the police belIeve be
locked the belfry door broke the knob and then
was unable to open the door without making a
noise that would brIng the janitor down upon
him
himA
A careful inspection of the stairs showed that
the girl must huvo been strangled down stairs
In the pastors study luto which the murderer
had lured her Then having choked out hr life
he dragged the body up the winding stairs to the
belfry loft which hu knew was never used He
had evidently found the task heavy for he
rested on the first landing Hlood from the
month of his victim had trickled down between
thc tllra upon the minor below Then summoning
all his strength he had seized tho girl by the I
shoulders and allowing her feet to drag on the
Blairs had Imiiled her throuch the door and into
the belfry room
