to one of "Buddy" Rogers' wisc
rracks, "as uncomfortable as a cow

"Close Harmony" proved to be a

back stage life Interspersed with
night club scones and with a very
largo cast of principals and chorus
supporting Buddy Rogers and
Nancy Caroll, who are tho prin

THE CONVICT'8 ESCAPE
TKCOVEHKD from tho first shock
of reading that headline, "Dar
ing Escape of a Convict," 1 noted
the many subsidiary headings full
of Extraordinary Circumstances, a
Mystery Woman, a Subtle riot and
oilier Ingredients veil mixed In the
dispatch Into an exciting story. In
brief, It was thus:
That the escape of a prisoner
from Dartmoor Convict Prison on
Saturday was much more remark
able than It had appeared at first.
while walking. There had been a
light In which one of the gang was
knocked out. t
The police accompanied them to
the place and found the clerk unconscious.-
lie died In hospital. No
trace of a gang could be found.
Suspicion against the two men
was confirmed when on Richard
the police found a considerable
sum of money In Belgian currency
amounting to 10,000 francs. Wchard
declared Hint It was his own.
Richard admitted that he gave
the blow which knocked out tbe
clerk and declared that the blow
was In self-defense.
The Jury convicted of manslaugh
ter, and tbe Judge Inflicted the se
vere sentence of five years' penal
servitude, and gave I'hlllp, who was
found guilty of being accessory dur
ing the fact, 12 months' bard labor.
From tbe dock Richard bad made
a violent protest against the sen
tence, lie had ever since been a
most difficult prisoner, and this was
why he was In Dartmoor the Iso
lated fastness among the clouds of
a mountainous wild reserved for the
worst convicts.
This was the narrative which
spread over two or three columns
of the newspapor. I read them with
growing mystification and alarm;
What a trick of fate that had
brought quiet and decorous Wood-
The convict scurried over the wall to a waiting auto-
-and a girl!
The prison nfTlclals and the police
were entirely nonplussed. They
did not know whore the man had
gone, or Willi whom.
What they had discovered was
Hie extremely clover way In which
his accomplices oulsldi had worked
without arousing tho least sus
picion. The chief agent was apparently a
roung woman who was seen in a
car that pnsscd through the city
it Exeter, S5 miles from the prison,
early Sunday morning.
It was much later when It wns
discovered that the prisoner was
missing: then, of course, It was far
too late to trace the car.
Out the policeman who saw It
was so struck by the physiognomy
f the man who leaned forward Im
patiently and sold, "Uo on, go on!"
Hint when tho description of tho
tiiglllvo w ti s circulated ho had no
doubt whatever tills was the same
man. K
The escape had been elaborately
studied, and mice out of tho caII the
prisoner had been abln to gel clear
by a microscopical timing of the
nimenifiits of tho warders and nffl
cfis. The alarm system had beon
cleverly deranged. ,
He had been provided with the
cord and a Ihln sleel honk to throw
.iver the wall, llo hsd scaled It
nt the point nearest a plantation
which, llliin lln re seconds, gave
111 in pcrtert cover. The car wait
ed for him In the road below the
copp'co.
The authorit-ci suspected that
without the assistance of an accom
plice Inside as well as outside it
would hnvo f.illcd. A further point
ias that the accomplice outside
must have been quite familiar with
he routine of the prison.
The prisoner, of whom a descrlp
(Ion was Issued, was Kugcnc Rich

In HcU'Ht' curipmy. Inf,t'ad of
taking the train to London Hie two
men went to the hotel. Late ai
night they Informed Ibe police- thul
they bud been uiolrsinl by a K;iim
cot Into the midst of a sensational
and sordid drama llko this!
For I could not question that the
hero of tho light on Dover cliffs and
tho oscapo from Dartmoor Prison
now lay In the guest room.
It all dovetailed la too perfectly
to leave a single loopholethe
days, the limes, the circumstances.
Tho police description of Rich
ard might have beon written sitting
In front of Cousin John his tall
figure, his dark eyes and over
hanging brows.
And there was Veronica's sudden
flight from I-oudon on Saturday
morning, her secret return on Sun
day evening, her concealment of a
fugltlvo and such a fugitive! .
And there was Pell's absence at
tho same time. Was Pell the other
accomplice, the second man in tbe
car? Somehow this did not seem
to harmonise with the worst sus
picion Hint tortured me about his
death. But Pell's absence would
have to be explained.
That some connection existed be
tween the escspe from Dartmoor
and the trngedy In the library at
Newplace I could not doubt. It
waa hateful to hare my mother In
the midst of this confusion: but
Veronica's blue eyes . . , they
placed mo under compulsion.
Nona of those considerations,
however, was the most alarming
that the newspaper suggested. An
other transcended them all.
Last night, when Cousin John
leaped bnck from the equsre of
light on the back lawn with that
horrified whisper, I paid no special
attention to his gesture.. 1 thought
II part of his genoral objection to
being seen by anybody.
Now tho Idea. forced Itself Into
my mind that It was a particular
objection to being seen by Pro
fessor l.axton.
"That man!"
I recalled his nerve stricken ex
clamalloii. And the terrifying
thought rnmo Hint, Idler In the
night, when Cousin John took fright
at the open window, be might have
had more reason for alarm than I
supposed.
For La-iton was In Devonshire
on Saturday, as I had Imagined do
ing some archeoloRtcal work, and
his letter to me came from Tavis
tock close to the scene of Cousin
John's est ape. And Laxton had
acted very curiously for a profes
sor of archeology on Sunday night
