L v MURDERER, SERVING SENTENGE, ESCAPES Had 13 More Years Lelt at Sing Sing New York, June 19 —Charles Greer eerving a sentence of 20 for murder, escaped from Sing Sing last night. He was found to be missing when the guards checked up prison- ers after locking them in their cells for the night at 8:30 o'clock. The prison whistle was blown for 15 min- utes, the police departments of the surrounding towns and villages were notified, and Warden Lewis E. Lawes sent detachments of keepers and guards out in automobiles to hunt for the convict Warden Lewis went with one of the man hunting parties and other offi clais at the prison declared that they had no knowledge of the manner in which Greer escaped Their only statement was to the effect that at 8:30 o'clock, when the nightly check was made, Greer was not in his cell and could not be found Escapes By Roof years It was reported at the prison, how- ever, that the convict escaped by way of the roof of the cell block, the man- ner in which the last twp escapes from Sing Sing were carried out Greer is said to have been seen in the cell block near his own cell half an hour before he was reported miss- ing, and it is believed that he suc- ceeded in smashing the trap door of the roof. On top of the roof the convict could have walked along to the roof of the warden's residence, which adjoins the cell block, but which is outside the walls of the prison It was daylight when he escaped,’and had he tried to get away by means of the river from the front he almost certainly would have been seen. Tt is believed that he got into the warden's house from the roof and thence on to the prison lawn and out the gates. There is no evi- dence to indicate that he used this method of getting away, but it was pointed out last night at the prison that it was not impossible, and since it was daylight when he escaped it is more probable that he got out that way than that he escaped by way of the river. Greer was sent to Sing Sing on May 24, 1920, from White Plains, giving his home address at that time as Greenwich, Conn. He was sentenced to from 20 years to life for second degree murder, and even with the usual time off for good behaviour had at least thirteen more years to serve He was described as five feet, eight inches tall, weight 130 pounds, light freckled complexion and light hair.

It is also universally believed that the statement will down the Collins-De Valera agreement under which Ilast week's elections were held Views differ as to what effect dis- solution of the agreement will have on the general peace program. Some predict a violent catastrophe while what has long been foreseen is like- 1y to occur The Dublin correspondent of the Daily Mail asserts that no new hitch in the Irish peace is involved He maintains that De Valera knew the tenor of the draft constitution before it was taken to London and equally knew what parts of it would be al- tered in London The army convention held at the Mansion House in Dublin is regarded here as hardly less important than the De Valera statement may prove to be. Rory O'Connor was promi- nent among the participants and it assumed the attitude of the con- vention was strongly hostile to the constitution although complete se- crecy was maintained concerning the proceedings. Predictions of further pro-treaty successes in the elections continue is Dublin, June 19, (By Associated Press). The Dublin newspapers treat the election results thus far recorded as conclusive evidence that the vot- ers support the Anglo-Irish treaty The Irish Times prints a detailed report of the proportional representa- tion voting in Cork city, arguing that| it shows that labor voted, 15 to 1 in favor of the ‘treaty and that the total polling was more than 4 to 1 in its favor. The Irish Independent says the re-| sults thus far plainly indicate the trend of the country's opinion regard- | ing the treaty, and adds “Already the Antis have suffered some notable reverses. It is signifi- cant that in the first constituency in Munster which decision of a con- test is known, the result is a serious reverse for the Antis. N ON TOBACCO.
