News Item
Charles Wood, the railroad station burglar now confined in jail, is evidently an ingenious and dangerous customer. For some time past, he has been ill and was removed to an upper room, occupying it with Charles Hannecke, accused of rape. Near this is the room occupied by Esther Mudge, the New Berlin infanticide. Last week, Wood made from an iron spoon a key to the lock on Esther's door, and it was from her room that an escape was planned with Hannecke. Afterwards an old woman prisoner left a shoe knife in their room, with which Wood commenced to cut the staple holding the lock from a wooden door through which they must pass, and as he was week from sickness, he wished Hannecke to assist him, but that worthy declined, when Wood got wrathy and exposed the whole job. An impression of the key to the lock was obtained upon a piece of soap, the key having been left for a moment upon the table, and a table knife made into a saw was the tool used in making the key from the spoon. Wood is now kept in more secure quarters - if there is such a place in the old rookery called a jail.
