2 PRISONERS
ESCAPE FROM JAIL
[Continued I'rom First Page]
in cell No. 2 on the left side. William 1
B. Kepford was the keeper in charge j
1 last night. He goes off duty at 6 in
the morning. As was his custom, he |
cailed the trusties at 5:45. Both
Headrick and Howard, who worked
in the bakeshop, and helped to get
; breakfast were the first to respond,
Headrick started to cut bread and
i Howard was busy about his usual
tasks.
Watchman Kepford left the bakery,
which is in the basement of the jail
to look after two of the prisoners who
had not turned up. On his return he
! missed Howard and Headrick, but did
not think anything of their absence,
j as he supposed they had gone to the
• supply room for bread and other food.
When five minutes elapsed and they
! tfere still missing he started an in
vestigation.
A door leading from the bakery to
j a small store room was open, the "lock
had been broken. Another door open
ing into the coal bin was also found
open. It was locked on the inside.
|Vhe iron doors leading from the coal
bin to Court street were also open,
j < >ne door opens Into the street, and
the other to the Inside of the coal bin.
Both are locked with Yale locks. The
locks were broken completely off and
In a barrel below the doors, which
faARRISBtmo OSHAI TELEQKSPH
was used to climb from the bin into
the alley, was an iron bar.
Warden William A. Mclllhenny who
lives In the Jail was called. He noti
fied the polite department and the
Pennsylvania Railroad police. After
he had made an investigation of the
method by which the prisoners es
caped. he questioned the prisoners
who occupied the cells with Howard
and Headrick but they could tell
nothing.
Warden Mcllhenn.v said:
"With the iron bar, and having ac- ;
cess to all departments in the base-:
ment, the escape was an easy propo
sition. Headrick is an electrician and ;
at intervals had access to the room;
in which the electric fans and the,
motors that drive the fans are located. ,
The bar is kept there. This depart
ment was locked as usual at 6 o'clock i
last evening. The bar was probably!
taken away bv Headrick at that time. '
He and Howard have been very j
chummy lately, and both told the
prisoners they were expecting some I
money. This made borrowing easy.
The prisoners knew every part of the |
Jail and once the watchman was out!
of their s'ght it was easy. Very little
time was necessary to get the locks off :
with the bar they used. It was dark j
and few people travel Court street at
that hour in the morning."
Headrick, according to Harrisburvi
police, is wanted in Altoona on three i
charges of larceny and one charge of
defrauding a boardinghouse keeper. A j
detainer was tiled shortly after his |
conviction In June. According to |
police records. Headrick was arrested j
Saturday night. April 1, this year, j
charged with stealing an automobile'
owned by Bertram Shelley, of Steel- |
ton. Mr. Shelley was attending a t
basketball gamo In the Chestnut j
street auditorium at the time the ma- !
| chine was taken.
Later a newsboy, recognising the \
auto, called the attention of city police j
to the man who was driving it and j
Headrlck's arrest resulted. He was |

convicted June 12 and sentenced to I
serve seven months in the county Jail.'
Despite the fact that the detective
bureau of the city knew after his
conviction that he was wanted for
other crimes, no picture was taken of'
Headrick, and no accurate description
was found on their records, they ad
mitted. Recently he underwent an
operation for appendicitis.
Howard was arrested on August 15,
this year, charged with stealing clothes i
from George Terry, a hoarder in a I
roominghouse in Chestnut street. The |
theft was committed several days be
fore but Howard disappeared. Later !
he waa seen by the boardinghouse j
mistress and his arrest followed. He !
was convicted September 18, and 1
sentenced to six months in Jail. The I
police also were unable to give an
accurate description of Howard.
This is the first time in the last ten I
years that a prisoner has escaped from
the Dauphin county prison. Years
ago a tramp convicted on a minor
charge, tunneled his, way under the |
big wall to Court btreet nnd escaped.
He was never captured.
Warden McTlhenny announced lm-1
mediately after learning of the es-'
cape of Headrick and Howard, that, a'
reward of SSO will be paid for the cap- j
ture of either of the prisoners.

Stock Market Turns Away
From Political Influences
New York, Nov. 10.—An unmis- j
i tak&ble turn away from political In- j
fluence was manifested by to-day's i (
stock market. Wall Street evidently j
j accepted the national election as a set- j
tied fact and proceeded with the bull- !
Ish enthusiasm of recent days.
; There were some nominal declines
j r.t the opening, but these were more j
than counterbalanced by the strength
i of various specialties, some of which
I rose to unprecedented prices.
