J., sani- tarlum, Every railroad, turnpike and by path leading out of Dover has been watched by searching parties and the woods about the town have been scoured, but no trace of the fugitive has been found. Ogden’s last disappearance was on Aug. 4. A thorough and costly search was then made for him. After a week he was given up for dead, but in ten |days he turned up and declared he had been all the time in the bam of his father's stable at Chatham, N. J., with- in hearing distance of the men search- ing for him. He crept from his hiding place after dark and got food by rob- bing the kitchen pantry.

Before he got away from the sanitar- fun he borrowed $1.50 from Mrs. Man- ton, the wife of his keeper. He ex- plafned that he wanted the money, for pocket change. Manton, who had been shadowing him continually, left him in his room for a few minutes.
