LBREAKER FOR "PEN" GEORGE BENSON GAVE THE PO- LICE AN INTERESTING TIME Escaped From Jail at London While Awaiting to be Removed to Peni- tentiary to Serve Two Years For Forgery and Desertion. Determined to turn over a new leaf, and to db his best to get good conduct marks, so that he will soon be free, a man named George Ben- son, commenced a two-year term in the Portsmouth penitentiary on Tuesday morning. He was brought here from Lopdom by High Chi Constable Benjamin 'Watterwortu The officer arrived on the might train, and the prisoner spent several hours in a cell at police headquarters be- fore being removed to the peniten- tiary on Tuesday morning. Benson, who also went under the name of George A. Ruthven, had an interesting career. He enlisted at London with the 63rd Battery, under the name of Benson. He forged the names of some of his eompanions to checks on which he secured money and then deserted from the battery. After being sentenced, he was con- fined to the jail in London eweiting removal to the penitentiary. While turnkey Thomas Sproule had him in charge doing some whitewashing, he made a dash up the jail steps, dis- accident was telling one of ads neigh- | bors 'about it when Lieut, Hughes At the time Mr. Lyons was {saying:.

Extradition pro- ceedings were instituted, with the re- sult that the young man was brought back to London. His sentence was two years for forgery and desertion, and a similar term for jail breaking, the seitences to run concugrently.
