Pric n officials gave little cre- dence to the report but counsel for Mrs. Snyder announced that they have been in possession of the information for some time. "Mr. Chambers' letters are in my ' office," said Edgar Hazelton, one of the defence attorneys. "I nave investigated the charges but I do not wish to say what action will be taken upon them, "As 8 matter of fact I am still investigating and at this time I cannot say whether there is any substance to the charges." Keepers of Sing Sing sald Mrs. : Snyder saw little chan~e of saving herself through "new evidence." Joseph Lonardo, another de- fence attorney, apnounced that Mrs. Snyder was Shost o* © has no means of raising the $4,- 000 which would be required to send the minutes of the trial to the United States Supreme Court. Because of that shortage of funds, Lonardo said he would esk the court to waive the reading of the trial record and permit him to make his application for 2 wris formality, KILLED WAR AIR RAIDS , Dec. 14--One thousand hundred and seventeen civilians i killed ing the tn were J be . i to figures out toda; ment by Sit Samuel Hoare, Air Min ister.

MILTON PRISONER Hamilton, Dec. 14.--John Wood- cock, who escaped from the Milton jail a few hours after judge Elliott sentenced him to three years ia Portsmouth Penitentiary about ten days ago, was captured here tonight in a house at 77)2 Mary street. The fugitive made no resistance, and will be returned to Milton, where he will face an additional charge of jail- breaking. : : Wi k's arrest tonight came. as the reward of several days of vigi- lance on the part of local police, who had received reports of a man who for money to buy food and e description tallied closely with that of the escaped convict, Traced i : by Detective Tonight a man believed to have been Woodcock was seen on a street not far from the centre of the city, and was followed by Detective Thompson to a house at 77% Mary street. Detective Thompson imme- diately got in touch with Detectives Duffy, Gillespie and Roughead and Chief Lee Smith, of Burlington, who happened to be at local headquarters This squad of officers went to the house, and were in the act of sur- rounding it when an Indian whom Woodcock had knoyn at Burlington came along the street and entered the house by the front door, Immediately the officers also emter- ed the front door and saw Wood- cock leaving a room with a view, it was thought, to departing from the house by a rear door, The fugitive was recognized immediately and plac. ed under arrest, Has Long Record Woodcock has a lengthy crim- inal record and was sentenced here in 1924 to three years' imprisonment for burglary, He was sentenced at Milton a few days ago after being convicted of three charges of bur- glary committed at Burlington. Woodcock was to have been taken to Portsmouth Penitentiary on the fol- lowing day, but he had not been in his cell many hours, it is said, when saws which must have been secreted on his person were pressed into sil- ent and efficient service, with the result that when guards went to his cell the next morning they found him gone. Bars cn his cell window had been sawn and wrenched away to permit exit, Woodcock, it is said, used part of his bedding to lower himself to the jail yard, but how he succeeded in scaling the wall and reaching freedom is unknown, Police circulars advise that Wood- cock escaped from the Milton Jail on December 6.
