A two-hour rhaso In auiomoblles over
Burlington County roads ended today In
'the recapture of Giovanni Iraca, who was
awaiting sentence for the murder of Henry
I). Ulder, the Cranberry grower. Iraca had
broken Jail .In Mount Holly by boring
through a brick wall with a sharpened
spoon. Iraca, who also Is known its
Giuseppe Ilocco, was laptured by County
Detective Kills I'lirker, who drove up be
hind him 011 Votl; toad, five miles from
Mount Holly, and subdued him with a re
volver. Iraca walked out the front door of the
llurllngtoii County Jail In Mount Holly nnd
passed unnoticed through High street, the
town's main thotnuglifare, beforo olliclals
knew he was missing, '
Ho had undermined the masonry wall on
one side of the door of Ills celt, making a
hole big enough to 'crawl through. The only
Implement Jail otllclnls found was a tough
pewter spoon worn sharp at the edges.

Iraca escaped about 7 o'clock, a few min

escaptd spread through the town Many
arrived In automobiles. One of these Coun

and mole than 100 prisons joined In the

Parker's car,,driven by Joseph I!. Haines,
of Hurllngtoli. overtook n boy on York road,
In the dliectlini of Hurllngtoli The boy
said a man who looked like Imca had passed
him. and Parker resumed the chase Five
minutes later Iraca appeared In the load
Parker drew a revolver nnd ordered him to
glvo up Iraca surrendered and Parker
handcuffed him.
When Warden King, who had left the
Jail In charge of under sheriffs while he
hunted Iraca, retunud to the Jail and ex
amined Iraca's cell, he found signs that tho
prisoner had tiled to break Into the cell of
Frank I.edonne, who Is awaiting trial In
the Rider minder case
Several big pieces of stone nad been taken
out of the wall, and u chair on which clothes
weie hanging had been pushed against It
In escaping to the corridor, Iraca had evi
dently loosened the mortar holding tho
stones together, with the spoon, nnd. vvhoii
opportunity offered, simply lifted out tho
stones They were piled Inside Ills cell.
The hole In the cell wall was nearly threo
feet high Iraca's ability to burrow through
the wall was largely due to tho condition
of thu stone work In tho jail, which Is more
than 1 U0 eais old The cells ale solid
stone on four sides, except for an lion door
In front and .1 small window.
