Connecticut Prisoner Stows Him
self in a Shipment of
Shirts.
Hartford, Conn., May 5.—Tin*
Connecticut state prison at
Wethersfield this afternoon all
hut bought, a railroad ticket for
the escape of Charles Dewey, who
had served two years of a live
lo-niue year sentence for high
way robbery. He concealed him
self in a packing box which was
supposed to contain shirts and
was carried lo the freight yard by
the prison van. The escape was
not discovered until the return to
the prison, and an investigation
disclosed the empty box in the
freight ear. It is suspected Hint
he was in collusion with the
“trustieb” who carried out the
boxes, else they would have made
remarks about, the extra weigtit.
That the escape was carefully
planned was shown Dy a glance
at the packing box. The cover
gave every indication of being
nailed down tight when in reality
hut one side was fastened. The
nails on the other three sides
were driven so they came just in
side the llox instead of catching
(ho wood. A handle was fastened
■ to t tie under side of the cover,
ami lo this was attached a heavy
piece of wire, so that the prisoner
might keep Ihe lid from shifting.
Dewey was engaged in packing
the shirts for shipment, and his
opportunity to get into the box
came when the “trusties” were
carrying out those already clos
ed up. He pulled a lot of shirts
in over himself, the other con
victs carried him out to the \Vag
on, and he was carted to the
freight car. Had he not bden of
slight physique he would never
iiave been able to make his es
cape in such a manner, as the
boxes ace not large. The door of
the freight car was left open, and
it is supposed that he escaped to
tho neighboring woods.
No trains were passing at the
lime, so that the possibility of his
having escape*! by rail is out of
the question. Many men are now
semiring Ihe surrounding coun
try; but. if Dewey had any help
from the outside, so that he
might change his prison suit,
there are many places when* tie
might hide.
This is the second escape with
in a week, William Gardner hav
ing sawed his way out early last
week.
