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,

deal was eald about his absence from

was Intimated that he had failed In
pome of his large business enterprises.
Not until today did It become known
what caused his suddelnv disappearance.
A dispatch from Kl Reno. Okla.. stated
(that ex-iMayor Magowan. of Trenton,
registered there on Aug. 1, and that he
had begun roceediiigS against his
wife for dlvce. This wa.t the first
lifws received tit Mr. Magowan's where
abouts during the week he was absent
from Trenton. The news that he had
begun a suit for divorce will cause a
senwtitiVon. as tMs Is the first Intima
tion that Trenton's ex-mayor had any
serious domestic troubles.
The Magowmns are well known nrnm
bers of soclity at Trenton. 'Mr. Ma
gowan has taken evary precaution to
prevent anyone from knowing what he
went to Oklahoma for, but upon In
vestigation It was learned he had sought
divorce In Nw Jn-sey a few months
ago, and when he found that he could
not be successful he consulted a prom
inent law firm of this ciity, who ailviswl
him to go to EI Reno and establish a
residence there. In th? meantime Mrs.
Magowan and her family are staying
at Spring Lake, N.J.
THEIR KEEPER IN A CELL.
And Then These Six Jailbird Fled Like
Kllloron, Knsscll and Allen.
Toledo, O., Aug. 18. A bold and suc
cessful Jail delivery was mnde here this
morning, and six men walked out of
the Lucas county prison into tho free
air. About 9 o'clock a turnkey named

get shaved by the prison barber. He
was no sooner seated and lathered than
the prisoners pounced upon him, took
away 'his keya and handcuffs, put the
handcuffs on his hands and lockel Mm
In a cell. The rest was easy sailing,

AFGHAN PRINCE IS MAD.
Ho Is Offended Because the Kaiser Did
. Not Care to See llim.
London, Aug. IS. Emperor William,
during til visit to England, gave grave
offence to Nasrulla Khan, the Afghan
prince, iby failing to ask the prince to
merit him, and by not sanding him any
message or letter. The posit km of the
prince excites public curiosity. It Is
known that he has received an almost
unlimited number of hints from the
queen to leave England, and that she
tixa told him that he need not again
visit any member of the royal family,
and so Nasrulla never leaves the
grounds of Dorchester house, where he
is stayiing.
The governmenits of the countries,
an, which It was Nasrulla's intention
to visit, have all politely refused to re
ceive him. The refusal of the Sultan
of Turkey .has been made public. In
4t t'he Sultan says that. In compliance
with a request of M. Nelidoff, the Rus
sian ambassador to Turkey, he cannot
receive t'he eon of the Ameer, If he
should carry out his Intention to visit
Turkey. .
