MAD CRIMINALS
LET LOOSE ON NEW YORK.
[United Press Association.—By Electrie Telegraph.—Copyright.]
NEW YORK, December 4. Six men, the most violent of the criminal insane, imprisoned in the State institution at Manhattan, including two murderers, and two dangeious pyromaniacs, have escaped, and they are in New York to-night. Their escape follows on a daring delivery, arranged ljy another inmate who some •time ago escaped, and who returned yesterday with three gunmen, who imprisoned seven guards and then released his companions.
The wife of one of the maniacs re' ceived telephone calls from the men today, who, for the most part, are depressive maniacs. The murderers among the escapees have several killings each to their records, while among the pyromaniacs there is one who for fifteen years was known to the police as a setter of fires before he was apprehended.
