Reginald John Camppeil, tne famous pastor of the City Temple, Lon- Gon, was discussing the Wilmington lynching with a reporter of The Even- ing World, and he uttered these words fn his quiet way. They came from his Ups distinctly and there could be no doubt that the clergyman meant them. “The Little Bishop saw the expression of surprise that came into the reporter's face and he added “Yes,” with a rising toflection, and shut his lips tightly. His mind had been filled with a horror ef the lynching when the interview opened—the horror that an Englishman bas of any overriding of the Iw. What he knew of the negro's crime and his horrible death at the hands of an in- furlated mob had been gathered entirely trom 4 few headlines in the newspapers, Bie knew nothing of the revolting clr- cumstances that attended the killing of Helen Bishop.

FROM TOMBS IN BROAD DAY “Trusties” in Prison Break) Away to Liberty While More| Than Score of Men Employed in Subway Watch Them and) Their Three Confederates. JAIL BREAKERS SLIP OUT THROUGH THE BASEMENT. They Crawl Out on the Pave- ment and Then Must Have Discarded Their Prison Garb for Clothing Supplied by Con- federates. In broad daylight yesterday afternoon two priscners aided by three men on the outside escaped from the Tombs, They are Matthew Callahan, of No. 316 ‘West Fourteenth street, and Robert Booth, of No, 123 East Twenty-fifth street, each serving a six months’ term for disorderly conduct. ‘The escape was not discovered until 7 o'clock last night, when Tumkey Sulllvan rounded up the “‘trusties" to lock them in their dormitory and found Callahan and Booth missin; They Were Tr ‘The men were sent to the penitentiary in April. They were brought down to the Tombs two weeks ago to do chores about the prison, About thirty men serving time are thus employed contin. uously about the Tombs and they are given a great deal of latitude, inasmuch as most of them are servirig short terms and do not care much about getting away. ' Callahan was placed in the ‘‘trusties"” restaurant as a bread man, Booth was assigned to duty in the yard, The men had become acquainted in the peniten- tlary and were together whenever their duties allowed. | He Made a Discovery, Under the old prison stretches a laby- rinth of passages through the heavy piles supporting the butking, When Callahan had nothing else to do he ex- plored the passages. A few days ago he discovered that he could reach an abandoned dungeon cell within a few feet of Leonard street. The cover of this cell had been removed and all there was between the interior of it and the outer afr was a wooden plat- form to keep out the rain. Callahan sent word of his discovery to friends on the outside, and also notified Booth. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon both the prisoners were in the aban- doned cell. They had sneaked off through the underground passageway, and no attention was paid to thelr ab- sence by the guards. ‘Three men appeared at corner of Leonard and Elm streets at 4 o'clock. One of them carried a big bundle. They walked past the Tombs ruins two or three times, and then, after a short dis- cussion, proceeded to two heavy laun- dry tubs a few feet from the sidewalk. They Diverted Suspicion, In order to divert suspicion the five men appenred as though they were busy working for a few minutes, They re- Placed the wooden platform and then walked leisurely to the corner. From the fact that the outer clothing of the two prisoners was found in the subway excavation at that point it is supposed that they discarded thelr prison gurb right in the open street and put on other clothing, After assuring himself that none of the other prisoners had escaped War- den Van De Cars notified Commissioner of Corrections Hines. The Commissioner instructed him to send word of the as- cape to Polive Headquarters, but on no account to make mention of it to the newspapers. The Story Leaked Oat, But it was a matter of common gos- sip around the neighborhood to-day and it was not long before an Eyening World reporter heard of it. Conversa- tion with the subway employees made piain how the escape had been effected. arden Van De Curr says it would have béen impossible for any criminal importance to have escuped. ‘The trusties, he says, are allowed a great deal df’ liberty, and were they to take advantage of it more of them could while the old Tombs is being torn down. Escapes from the.Tombs have been infrequent. None was attempted for ten years up to yesterday. John Myers, 4 burglar awaiting sentence, bored a oie in the wall of his cell, four stories above the ground, dropped jem. into the yard by means of @ rope made of bedclothes, scaled the outer wall and got away.

WEDDING TOOK PLACE IN MARCEAU’S STUDIO, Was the Culmination of a Pretty Romance, Wilder Having Known His Bride Since Her Infancy and Visited at Her Father’s Brooklyn Home. Marshall P. Wilder, the “Prince of ‘Wntertainers and Entertainer of was married this afternoon to Mies Sophie Cornell Hanks, daughter of Dr, E, F, Hanks, of Brooklyn. The ceremony was performed in the studio of Theodore C. Marceau, at No. 258 Fifth avenue, Rev. Lr. Houghton, of the Lit- tle Church Around the Corner, officiat- ing. ) ‘There is a pretty romance surrounding the wedding of the little humorist. His father and Dr. Hanks have been life- long friends and when Marshall came to New York City from Rochester to lay the foundation of his fame and for- tune Dr. Hanks welcomed him to his Brooklyn home. About this time there came to the home of the Hanks family a baby girl. She was called Sophie. Marshall Wilder danced heron his knee in infancy and as she grew he was her friend and companion. Sophie Cornell Hanks Ddlossomed into @ beautiful young womn and one day ‘the humorist awoke to the roalization that he was in love with her. She is now twenty years old. Modesty forbade him making known the state of his feel- ings for a long time, but when he did speak he was overjoyed to learn that ‘his affection was returned. And so they ‘were married, A few weeks ago wien Mr. Marceau wns married Mr. Wilder officiated as best man and his present wife was maid of honor, Fot that reason the marriage ceremony of the humorist and his eweet- heart wes performed in Marceau's studio. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. Wilder and his bride started for Boston on their honeymoon, They will make an extended trip before returning to New York. Marshall P, Wiker is probably the most widely knawn professional enter- tainer in the country and he has many friends abroa, among them the King ot England. He was born in Geneva, ‘N. Y., in 1858. Nature was unkind ot bim when presenting him with a phys- ique, but she was lavish in her gifts of brain and sunny temperament. The boy went to schoo in Rochester and although slightly crippled he was a general favorite, His father was a physician and wished his son to take up some professional line of work, but the bent of the young man was toward ing others, For a long time he was compelled to atifie his ambition, but at last he secured a hearing in this city and from that day to this he has never wanted for an engagement. Up to 1898 he confined himseif to pri- ‘ate entertainments, In that year he went on the vaudeville stage and has since performed ajl over the country, He is on speaking terms with almost everybody worth knowing from the At- Jantic to the Pacific, ANOTHER NEGRO LYNCHED.
