Peekskill patrolmen attempted to stop the two speeding vehicles as they passed through that village within a few minutes of the break, but could not do so. District Attorney Schwarts and Sheriff Rockefeller were called in with state police to lead an investigation into the jail break and conduet a search for the Inmates.

Dr. Raymond F. C. Kleb, superintendent, said that in his opinion all would soon be apprehended. ords of the hospital show very few cases in which an escaped inmate has not been recaptured in due time.

Shortly after 8. a. m. Nelson and his pals apparently drew up near the rear wall of the asylum. They used some two -fours which were lying on the outside of the 15-foot fence or wall, oscale make their way into the rear asylum yard.

At 3:20 they met Patrick McGrath. outside night watchman, who was making his rounds and had just reached a time clock at the laundry. "Put up your hands, McGrath." Nelson said, according to McGrath, "I'm Nelson, you know me." The men with Nelson were not Identifled. McGrath yelled once and son put his revolver against his stomach and told him that if he shouted again, he would be shot. Marching McGrath before them, the attackers went to the kitchen.

where they held up and overpowered Clifford Cooper, night cook. Then they moved on until they met Joseph Brown, 'night roundsman. With three asylum employes under guard, they marched on to Dr. Kieb's office, where they overpowered Samuel Kane, the night office man. While one of the attackers sat in the office guarding McGrath.

Cooper, Brown and Kane, Nelson and another man went to a nearby corridor to wait for Joseph Bushnell, ant on Ward 1 to make his rounds, that they might get his keys to the ward. Because of overcrowded conditions at the asylum, Ward 1 and Ward. 5, adjoining, had been thrown gether to make one ward. When Bushnell appeared Nelson and his pal 'held him up and then him to Dr. Kleb's office where he was lined up with the other em.

ployes. Nelson and his pal returned to the ward where 70 inmates were sleeping, and tapped Vanderkuylen, don and Biggine in the one ward, the adjoining Evidently the and Alloy, Kayler, and Gambill in men were waiting for the signal, because roar of them were dressed in Institution clothing of dark gray, and had their institution overcoats near at hand. Nelson aroused the six men without disturbing single other in the big ward. Asylum authorities said they believed the escape had been planned carefully because of the business-like way in which it was carried. out." Gordon, "The Mad Butcher of Rochester," was in his sleeping garments, was one other of the six Inmates.

When the six maniacs, Nelson and his pal. returned to Dr. Kieb's office to join the pal had the employes lined up, Gordon took Roundsman Brown's dark blue overcoat, and the other maniac who wore only his sleeping clothes took the overcoat, a dark one, owned by Kane, the office man. As the rescuers and the maniacs gathered in Dr. Kieb's office, they discussed- the advisibility -killing Kane, so that no switchboard operator would be available to aid in spreading an alarm.

Nelson, accord-. Ing to the men lined up under the revolvers of his two pals, dissuaded them saying: "Naw, don't take him for a ride; he's got a wife and kids." Leaving the five employes in Dr. Kieb's office, the six maniacs and their three rescuers, disappeared. few seconds later sounds of two racing motors were heard. Dr.
