Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 14.—An
other chapter in a story of crime rival
ing the famous “.Bluebeard'’ murders
f in France has been written with the
escape of a woman “lifer’' from the
.Indiana women's prison.
Displaying tile shme clever criminal
skill which police alleged caused her
to murder two husbands and a fath
er-in-law by slowly poisonlA them.to
death, Mrs. Clara Carl escaped from
the prison. So far no trace of her
has been found. She is considered
one of the most daring woman critni--
nals in the country.
There is cool, calm and deliberate
manner about Mrs. Carl. It was
manifest when .she was charged with
, the crimes three years ago, and again
V was shown when prison authorities
after her escape found that for weeks
> she had been planning her break for
Feeding Chickens.
So cleverly did she outwit ti e pris
on authorities that she took ail be
longings with her. Mrs. Carl had de
ceived tlie warden into believing t'.at
she could be trusted and she was as
signed to feeding the chickens in the
prison yard.
[ Just at dusk one evening, she
climbed up on / the ctm-kon house,
theft on to the prison wall and drop
ped over on the outside.
Since murder charges were first
preferred against her she has been
| known hs "the feminine Bluebeard."
Her life story is a curious mixture
of crime, love, happiness and tragedy.
She was the beautiful daughter of a
j farmer living near New Strnstsvilie, O.
When a young girl she doped with
i Robert Gibson, young son of a New
Struitsville florist. They had been

childhood sweethearts.
Robert and Clara appeared deeply
in love. They went to Cleveland,
where Gibson was a teacher. Ilis
wife was employed on a newspaper.
They conceived the idea of getting
I rich by going from town to town,
writing and selling illustrated histor
’ ies of various localities.
They went so Huntsville, Mo.-
where Gibson became suddenly Cl.
Doctors seemed unable to help him
’ and lie died within a short time.
1 A few months later Clara married.
Frank Carl at Seneca, Kas.
The couple went to New Philadel
: phia, Ind.j and invited the husband's
1 father, Alonzo Carl, So, to live with
1 them. .
Again a mysterious malady afflicted
; Clara’s husband. The father-in-law
also became suddenly ill.
Frank Carl was a picture of health,
and way noted for his powerful i>byv
I jqiie. -
ltflt within a month his strength left
him so fast that he became a living
skeleton.
Bodies Exhumed.
When both the husband and father
in-law died terrible deaths, the comi
ty prosecutor was deluged with letters
■ dcmumUng an investigation. Exhum
ation of their bodies revealed enough
arsenic to "kill a dozen men,” accord
ing to the prosecutor. ,
I The trial in 1!>22 resulted in a sec
ond degree murder conviction and a
j life sentence.
j Apparently the motive of the "fem
inine Bluebeard" whs to obtain the
petty fortunes, of her two husbands.
She secured only Sti.OOO- after the
death of her first husband and $2,000
from Carl's insurance, making her
crimes all the mdre amazing.

reel for the fishline and this reel, js
In turn soldered securely to the square
pin on the end of the shade roliw.
A little bell may also be fastened to
the top of the reel to give an alarm

of the shade roller is pointed so that
it can be pushed into the bank to
stand solidly'- A wire bracket, with
a small eye, is clamped to-the roller

for the line, as shown in the left-hand
dotail.
The end of the line is tied to the
reel und wound around it a few times,

the spring is quite strong. Then the
catch is allowed to look, and the litMi

When the fish pulls the line the Catch
releases, giving a> sudden jerk, which
hooks the fish. The catch will not

THE CONCGfcD DAILY TRIBUNfe ■'•i'tgTcnrnr
Nails Are Most Dangerous
Implements in Industry
That, nails are the most dangerous
by figures gathered in New York. In
one year, compensation was' made
for 1,338 accidents due to n|ils and,
using New York City’s average of
thirty mishaps daily from this cause,
there are nearly 18,000 euch injuries
yearly in the state. From a list of
150 reports, thirty-seven such acci
dents wem glacsed as infections with
loss of timO and forty-five, while not
involving poisoning, compelled the
sufferers to stop work. Thousands of
accidents, it is believed, are never re
ported. According to officials, the
nail hazard is becoming serious, and
its importance is increased by the
fact that almost every part of the
human body is liable to “attack.”
This is illustrated by reports such as,
“stepped? on nail in floor”; “nail in
guardrail tore his scalp”; “nail flew
box while loading truck, infect
ed wound on nose”; “nail in bench
tore leg”;’“fell down and nail punc
tured stomach.*’ A nail-elimination
week has been recommended by the
labor department during which all
loose nails and those protruding where
they are likely to endanger persons,
would be removed.!

Insects Pick Own Birthdays
to IGonform to Weather
If the weather is bad, the small egc
er moth can postpone its own birthda v
for days, months,or years, according
to observations just made by a Brit
ish scientist. The cocoon of this
type of insect is ordinarily due to
Open in February, but if the weather
is inclement the birth is usually post
poned for twelve months. Moths
have been known to emerge sujpess
fully after being imprisoned for
eleven years. Another case of the

3urning Off Dry Weed*
A novel and .practical method of
burning off dry weeds and grass is to
set an old tire afire and slowly drag
it along by means of a wire, about
12 or 15 ft. long. One man should
stand by with a fire extinguisher in
case the blaze should spread too far
or comes too near the fence.
