Saw Powjuale With Baby
A,, witness wns turned up today who
says he saw Pasquale with the baby the
Ovening of July 18, nt Ncwfleld, X. J.
.. In view of 1'asquale's confession that
';' tut escorted mo woman ana mo cnuu ii
W V Market street ferry, and the strong pre-iMSr-'
sumptlve evldenco thl Is believed to
r&wK.- furnish that the child is now in Iscw
Jersey, this new story of Fasqunlc and
too child is considered of great im
portance. This latest cluo was furnished by
Charles Mounce. of 0-19 Buck street.
Atillville, n brakeman on tho West
Jersey and Seashore Itnilrond.
Mounce nt present is employed In the
freight yard nt Atlantic City. He re
cently had a run which took him to
ICcwfleld.
At Newfield the Pennsylvania Rail
road lines divide, one fork going in the
direction of Atlantic City, tho other to
.Cape May and nenrby resorts.
Awaited Atlantic City Train
On the night of July 18 tho train on
which Mounce was working pulled Into
Newfield close to midnight. On the
station platform he saw a foreign-looking
man with a baby in bis arms. Tho
man came up and said ho wb uniting
for tho 12:01 train for Atlantic City.
Mounce had no way of telling from what
town the man had como. This man,
Mounce is sure, was Fasqunle.
Tho trainman had a lengthy conver
sation with the man carrying the child.
Mounce saw Pasquole's pictures and
instantly remembered tho sceno at tho
junction at midnight.
He went to Detective Nusbaum nt
Atlantic City today, and told him the
story. Xusbaum arranged to bring
Mounco to Philadelphia, so he could re
pent tho story to Captain Soudcr and
Identify Pnsquale.
Captain Gerhart, of the stato police,
and Major Larzclerc, the Coughllns
.attorney, made a mysterious trip In
search of Blakcly last night.
Admit Cluo Failed
They placed great hopes in their mid
night excursion. They would give no
details of it this morning, savo to admit
ruefully that it had failed.
"Had your trip any direct bearing
on the kidnnpplng?" Major Larzclcre
was asked.
"I have nothing to say," ho
answered, though ho knew his ques
tioner was fully informed as to the pur
pose of the trip.
"Were you out last night?" wns the
next question.
"I have nothing to say," ho reiter
ated. "Has the child been returned?" he
was next asked.
"Not to my knowledge," he answered.
"Have you any reason to believe
the child will be returned today?"
"None," he nnswered.
While Major Larzelcre was unwilling
to admit that ho was hopeful of the
child's return today, the prisoner seems
convinced that the hours of waiting
arc soon to be over.
Yesterday, at the very end of his
torture on the modern rack of the
"third degree," he had snarled that
he would "squeal" on the "crowd" if
they didn't return the baby within
twenty-four hours, which expiro at 4
o'clock this nfternoon, and relieve him
from the strain that was cracking his
nerve.
All night the Idea that tho baby was
soon to be returned remained with him.
Ho could not sleep, though he was left
'undisturbed in comparative comfort in
his cell.
Paces in His Cell
For hours, after the night's promis
cuous haul of drunks nnd petty offend
ers were all snoring, Paaquale remained
awake, pacing his cell floor and fre
quently rattling the barred gato and
calling on the night turnkey.
Always the question of tho over
wrought man would be the Bnme :
' "Have you beard anything from my
Tials? Have they brought the kid
back?"
John Harvey, night turnkey, finally
took pity on the man's raw nerves and
nent out for some cigarettes, though
ordinarily the prisoners are not allowed
to smoke in the cellroom. Pasquale
seemed greatly relieved.
He smoked one cignrctte. after an
other, and finally got to sleep Just about
the time Major Larzelere and Captain
Oerhart were returning from their fruit
less quest.
This morning Pasqualo was awake
by 7 o'clock, nnd ready for brenkfnst.
It wa his second meal at City Hall
supper having been given him last
night when the examination whh com
pleted, the first food he had tasted since
Mr nrrivalat 7 o'clock in the morning.
For breakfast todny he had hnmburg
Kteak. fried notntoes. bread and coffee.
He seemed to enjoy the food, and after
he had finished looked brighter nnd
fresher than nt any time since he has
been at City Hall.
When "The Crank" was first grilled
1,1s criminal record on file at the bureau
was shown to him. He heard Captain
Souder rnttle off hN convictions nnd
he sat silentlv while this was being
lead. After the captain had finished
Pasquale admitted nil the things In the
record nnd then told a long rambling
story of how he had gone to plnre tbe
signal, write the letters and get the
ntonev because ho was only hired for
the job.
Major Adams, head of tbe stntc po
lice, next drew out of a drnwer the
charred envelope which had been found
In n stove in n room Pasquale had oc
cupied then.
Several Stjlcs of Writing
The envelopo was addressed to
"(Seorge II. Coughlln," with his Nor
rlstown address. On it were scrawls,
nhowing thnt "The Crank" had been
trying his hand at disguising his hand
writing. There was a word written
with letter "r" written in the natural
chlrogrnphy of Pasquale, while there
were several nt.icr styles of writing
The envelope was shouu to the
prisoner, who xnmlncd it carefully,
nnd then lemnincd silent.
"Did J on write that?" asked Major
Adam.
"Well." replied the captive, "I don't
deny that I wrote it."
"Did jou wrltn it?" persisted the
Major.
"I don't deny it," retorted Pasquale
again.
"Well, did you or did you not write
it?" repented his questioner.
"Well, jes," returned "The Crank."
with n quizzical smile, "I did write
it."
Pasquale wns confronted nt f'ity Ilnll
by'a girl, who said she had known him
about three weeks.
"I met him through n friend," she
said, "and he tool, me out several
times. 1 know nbout his purchase of n
farm at New (irctnu. but he never said
anything about u kidnapped baby ti.
me."
After her departure Captain Souder
paid she had no significance In the
case,

'THE CRANK ESCAPED
FROM JERSEY PRISON
Augusto Pasquale has nn unexpired
prison term awaiting him at Trenton,
whenever the local authorities get
through with him.
Chief Leonard, of the postal inspec
tors in this district, received n letter
today from Richard T. Hughes, keeper
of the New Jersey state prison nt Tren
ton, transmitting rnsqunlc's New Jer
sey prison record.
"The Crank" wns admitted to the
prison nt Trenton January "1, 1014,
to serve an indetermlnnto sentence of
from three and one-half to bcvcii years
for burglary, larceny nnd carrying con
cealed weapons. Ho was recorded in
the books as Prisoner No. -'03L'.
Pasquale was a prisoner until .Tunp,
1010, when ho escaped from Prison
Camp No. 2. Ho had been assigned to
working on the roads, and on the day
of his escape, suddenly ran nnd hid
In the brush nlong tho road where he
was working. Guards searched for him,
but he was never apprehended.
Keeper Hughes sent the Trenton
rogues' gallery photograph of Pasquale,
his fingerprints and Bertillon measure
ments, wnich are said to be identical
with the records made In this city when
he wns in the hnnds of the police here.
Tho Trenton officials also sent what
Chief Leonard considers the. most valu
able bit of all, n sample of Pasquale'n
handwriting. The specimens of his
writing which Pasquale has given since
his nn-est were purposely disguised.
The authorities now have n specimen
written several years ngo when there
wns no reason for attempted disguise,
to compnre with the notes signed by
"Tho Crank."

New Militarism on
Prussian, Ruins
Cnntlnunt from I'att One
scquently, the soldiers of this army are
rarely drafted Into tlic active army.
The real reserve from whicli the
active army draws its reinforcements is
the militia. This is recruited among
the peasants. In every village or group
of villages there Is n "speclol military
commissioner," whosu business It is to
select nnd drill recruits nnd to send
them to the front. In nddltion to tho
regulnr Bed nriny, there exist the well
known special regiments of Letts and
Chinese, who are u sort of military
police, and whoso numbers hnve been
much exaggerated.
Cossacks Shattered Polish Anny
A new formation of tbe Bed nriny nro
the Cossack divisions, which nrj com
manded by their own officers. Tho Cos
sacks leccivo high pay and uuliuutid
pcruilsidou to plunder. They nre quito
independent cavalry units, an J many
of them until recently served under
General Denlkine, which is sufficient
proof thnt they urc not communist fa
nntlcs. General Budennyi's horsemen,
whoso daring raids shattered tho Polish
army, nre of this type.
In Muy. 1020. tho total strength of
the Bed army did not exceed 1,000,000
men. Even ut this estimate, hovecr,
it is the strongest army in the world
tcdny It is well supplied with tanks
and heavy artillery, and tho munition
fuctories and arsenals arc all working
busily under tho direction of "hour
geoib specialists.
Imperialist Commanders
Tho predominance of non-Bolshevist
officers In the Bed army, and the exten
sion of their authority over their men,
is absolutely beyond doubt. Tho old
czarlst officers, the German officers,
nnd even most of the graduates of tho
Bed military academies, aro ut heart
contemptuous of communism.
Besides General Palivanov, who is its
chief, the Bed general stnff consists of
lioneral luiropntklu. tho commander of
tho czar's armies in the Kusso-.Topuneso
war, and Generals Drachcvsky, Prescott
and Gllleuechmldt, nil old czarist com
manders. Interference of Bed commis
saries in military matters is strictly
forbidden, Tho officers aro authorized
to enforce dlsciplino nnd inflict nil
kinds of punishment, except the pain
of death, whicli must bo icferrcd to
the council of commissaries.
Can the commnndern and officers of
the tied army, the mnjority of whom
nro todny undoubtdely counter-revolutionists,
use their power over their men
to overthrow the soviet government?
Vnst Army of Spies
In all military affairs they are now
their own masters. But politically they
aro still subjected to very strict sur
velllnnee. To the command of every
army Is attached a council of commis
saries whose members arc nominated by
the High AVnr Commissary Trotzkv.
This council has under its orders hosts
of secret ngents, who nervndo the army
nnd whose oflicn it is to wntch over
nnd report on the political morale and
reliability of tho ccncrals and red-
mental officers. This vast army of spies
within the nrmy of fighters is organ
ized so secretly that It happens thnt
officers themselves arc agents of the
council of commissaries. The conse
quence is an atmosphere of uuiversn'
distrust nnd suspicion which pnrnlyzes
counter-revolutionary enterprise nnd
dlvhles the officers among themselves.
Nevertheless, some of tho Bed fnnnt
ics in the Kremlin regard the armv
slnco its reorganization by Geuernl
Palivanov with increasing apprehension,
nnd to calm their fenrs, Trotzky wns
forced to create the "reserve nrmy,"
already mentioned ns a training corps
whose men never see fighting. Iu tho
reserve army the old communist prin
ciples nre still upheld ; when not being
drilled by their officers, tho men nre
under the supervision of special com
munist propagandists, nnd everything is
done to stiniulato their revolutionary
ardor. The consequence is that they
are useless ns lighting men und nre
never sent to the front. But the exist
enco of this mnke-believo rnmmun'st
army satisfies tho doetriuary f.iuutics
