Escaped Prisoner Had Shert Shift of |
Liberty.
Thomas Jordon, alias Thomas Ed-
ward Jordon, established a record as
an escaped prisoner on Monday morn-
ing. He made his escape from Rock-
view penitentiary. at five o’clock in
the morning, was captured at Grif-
fith’s curve at 7:30, brought before
Judge Harry Keller at ten o’clock,
was given a duplicate of his original
sentence and was taken back to Pitts-
burgh on Monday afternoon.
Jordon was convicted in Allegheny
county for counterfeiting bank checks
and was sentenced on January 13th,
1926, to serve from two to four years
in the penitentiary. He was transfer-
red to Rockview on March 18th, and
made his attempt at escape in less
than a month. All of which indicates
that Jordon was a fast worker but
this was one time when the officials
at the penitentiary were just a little
too fast for him.

Lawrence VanOlinda, an es-
caped convict from the Rockview peni-
tentiary, was captured at Dodge City,
Kansas., and will be brought back to
Centre county for sentence. Van-
Olinda escaped on Sunday evening,
March 22nd, 1925, by cutting his way
through the wire stockade while the
other prisoners were listening to a
radio concert. He was sent up from
Erie county less than a year previous
for two and a half to five years for
receiving stolen goods. He has now
enjoyed a little over a year of liberty
but will pay for it with a very much
longer sentence when sent back.
