ROBBER PERRTS ESCAPE Mystery of the Matfewan Asylum Is finally.Sutvcd. A MISSIONARY IMPLICATED Mr. Amelia E. Iloswell, of Troy. I Ac cused of Being an Accomplice of the Slippery Jail Ulrd-A Strange Case, iPoughkeepsle, Aug. 18. After months of patient Investigation the American Express company, with the officials of the New York Central and Hudson Klver Railroad company, the authori ties of Duchess county, and the -Mat-teaiwan officials, have solved the mys tery of the escape of train robber Oli ver Curtis Perry and convlots McUulre, Qulgley, Davis and O'Donnell from the Mat tea Wan asylum for the criminal in sane in April law The solution In volves 'Mrs. Amelia B. Haswell, of Troy, a city missionary who Is highly es teemed in that city, which haa been the scene of 'her evangelistic labor for sev eral years, and Wtlllam A. Hopkins, of Low Point, 'Dutchess county, a former attendant at the Matteawan asylum and a man of good family, but very Ir regular habits. Hopkins Is now In Dutchess county Jail, where he was qulotly Incarcerated at about noon to day on a warrant charging him with aiding and abetting the commission of a felony. IMra. Haswell has not been arreBted, as she Is out of the state, but Chief Detective Humphrey, of the Hud son River railroad, says he 'has letters' from her to Perry and to Hopkins, and copies of letters to the same parties, fully showing her connection with the case. At the time of Perry's escape there was general astonishment expressed that Insane men could manage so cleverly to overcome the safeguards put about them by the state. Hopkins' confession, which was made to Chief Humphrey today, takes all the romance out of the affair. 'Perry and his fellow convicts did not make keys from spoons. iHopklns left the lower lock on McQulre's cell unfastened, and Mc Oulre, who Is a mechanic, unlocked the upper bolts with keys fashioned with a file from blanks purchased by Hopkins at iNewburg, and after he got out un locked th cells of Perry and the others. Perry's Damaging Story. After the capture of Perry and the other fugitives last spring Detective T. J. Ga'rvey, of the American Ex press company, and Chief Detective Humphrey, with the aid of Dr. Allison, of the asylum, set out to find the real facts of the affair. Hopkins had charge of the Isolation w-ard, In which Perry and the others were confined at the time of their escape. He was dis charged on May 1 last, having been In tho asylum about a year. Keeper James C. McDonald 'Was put In charge of Perry, and the latter, having had a taste of the sweets of liberty, lietd out Inducements to 'him to allow him to escape. 'McDonald, under Allison's di rections, humored Perry and led him on. On April 28 Perry told a story in which he alleged that Mrs. Harwell helped him plan the American Express robbery between Little Falls and Utlca on Sept. 30, 1S91, when he got away with $5,000 In money and Jewelry valued at a number of thousands of dollars. Perry offered McDowell $:100 worth of Jewelry If he would furnish him with an Impres sion of the pass key, a small file, and a piece of Iron with which to make a key, and also privately mail his letters to M'ps. Harwell. McDowell pretended to assent to this arrangement, and took Perry's letters addressed to Mrs. Has well to Dr. Allison, who had copies of them made. Perry then told (McDonald that Mrs. Haswell had ttent to Hopkins Jewelry valued at betnven $700 and tl.OoO as a bribe to let him escape. The Jewelry, he said, consisted of diamonds, a. gold watch, ring, etc., ipart of the proceeds of the first American Express robbery. The package containing It was mailed to Hopklnn by registered letter directed to the postoffice at Qlenham, where Hopkins got It on Oct. 20 last. Hopkins today confessed that Jie gold and pawned the Jewelry, realizing about $300 on It. He failed to carry out h agreement promptly, and as the fall and winter wore on Perry got lvstlers and threatened to expose him. It wa because Hopkins was afraid that the story would get out that he went to Newburgh and got blank keys, which McOuIre fasjiloned Into keys to fit the upper lock on the cell door. He could not reach the lower locks from the In side, and Hopkins had to make two trips to Newburgh before he got the rlgiht sont of 'blanks. McQuIre used Hopkins' keys as model. Hopkins was to leave a suit or clothes and a pistol at a pond near Brinckerhoff's race track, where Perry could get them after his escape, but he failed to do go, which Incensed Perry against him, and after his return to the asylum he made fre quent Inquiries for Hopkins, who was shortly thereafter discharged for lntox catlon. Ferry's father and Mrs. Has well wrote letters to Hopkins through the Low Point postofflce. upbraiding him for his breach of faith, which letters were traced by the detectives and confirmed their Impression of his guilt. Hopkins Weakened. . Saturday District Attorney George Wood. Chief Detective Humphrey and Detective Garvey vlwlted Low Point. Dtetrlet Attorney Wood entered Into the quest with zoal, and did patrol work up and down the railroad track wlt'h the detectives until Hopkins was In custody. At flist he would confess nothing. Then Chief Humphrey took him In band and told him that he wa only injuring hln own chamccs by hold Ing out, and related some of the tes timony In the possess.km of the authori ties, but siMII h was obdurate. Then Mr. 'Humphrey toW him some more of the factB In Ws possession, and Hop kins weakened. He told the officers where he hud pa.wnrd the Jewelry and what he had received for It. Chief Plerralt, of Newburgh, recovered a gold wajbcih from a Hurrgamtan saloon keeper on Front street, to Whom Hopkins had soKl It. Some of the Jewelry Is in New Vork, where an officer ha gone to gvt It, Two pieces are n Ttahklll and Low Point.
