DANGEROUS MEN
Insane Criminals Escape DARING RELEASE Murderers and Fire-raisers By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Rec. December 5, 8 p.m.) New York, December 4. Six men—the most violent of the criminal insane imprisoned in a State institution at Manhattan, near New York, including two murderers and two dangerous pyromaniacs— escaped, and are in New York to-night. The escape followed a daring delivery arranged by an inmate who some time ago escaped and returned yesterday with three gunmen, who imprisoned seven guards and released his companions. The wife of one of the maniacs and a priest received telephone calls from the men to-day, who for the most part are depressive maniacs. The murderers, among the escapees have several killings each to their records, while among the pyromaniacs is one who for fifteen years was known to the police as a “setter” of fires before he was apprehended.
