A hectic hour In Elizabeth Cltj
Saturday afternoon, a tense night
am! ?lay at the Pasquotank Comi
ty Jail, a trip to Raleigh Sunday
night and the doors of the State i
prison cloned on John Lowry, Jr.,
hith City ? burgiai ? a-tni -j?U
breaker, fugitive from Juntlce
since Sunday, March 4, 1918,
when in the early evening he
walked out of the door of the Jail
while sheriff and Jailer wero on
th?* way to Ills cell. 'I he sheriff had
expected to take Lowry to Ra-i
high that night to begin nerving
JL. 15-year term for housebreaking.
In talkative and Jovial mood.
Lowry sat on the edge of his cot
in a cell in the same Jail Satur
day after his capture and. while j
l)r. Z. Fearing, city health offi
cer, dressed a bullet wound in his
leg and painted a cut from Po
lice Chief Gregory's billet on '
ljowry'8 forehead, from which a:
thin stream of blood trickled,
with iodine, recounted the story
of his adventures after leaving
Elizabeth City. He declared he had
served in the Canadian army
from shortly after tho time of his
escape here until the close of the
\Y<\ Id W?r and that since his dls
ch;i| ,'e from the Canadian service
he had been In the fur business
and had cleaned up 94.000 1;mM
year. He exhibited healed bullet
wounds, one on his leg and an
other back of his head near the
deck, which he said were received '
In the lighting in France.
"I declare to Oort," Tie vowed
nt the end of his story. "I have |
lived straight since I left here." |
Whether thai was true or not.
It was evident that lie had not re
cently done any hard work or
been exposed to the sun. He was
fair and soft.
Asked why he hnd come home.
Lowry had replied that it was to
see his people here. He would
not say how long he had boen
here hut claimed that It was for
Rome days nnd t fin t during the
tini" he had talked to memb< i
of the "night police force wlfhoiif
le-ln* recognized. Little mor<
than 21 yearn old- and of boyish
appearance at the time of his es
cape from jail here. l,owry Is now
2f?. has grown a mustache nnd
has acquired an air of maturity. .
His plan was to |?>nve Elizabeth
City oh the 3 o'clock train Sat
urday afternoon. He nayn that
two young glrln on Pf**rl street
tipped the police off" as to his pros- ,
ence here. On his way to Jail he
passed one of these glrln on the
street and curned at her venom
ously. That's how he got tht
whack across the forehead from i
Chief Gregory's nightstick.
rnqiiestlonahly somebody
tipped off the Elizabeth City po
lice as to Lowry's presence In the
city and Chief of Police Charles
Gregory, with Police Officer Twld
dy. Roushton. Hnrrln and Wlns
low alighted frem an automobile
In front of the Lowry residence
on Pearl street while another au
tomobile stood nearby to take
-jotm - Lowry- to the train. Lowry
saw the officers of the law and he
shot out the back door. Officers
rave chase and Chief Gregory and
Police Officer Twlddy fired at the '
fugitive, and It was a bullet from
the gun of one or the other of
these two that drilled a hole
through, the muscle of I/Owry's
.right leg. Ix)wry kept running,
'however, until he found cover un
der the honne of Mrs. C. C. Clark
on East Ilurgenn street. Remem
bering. probably, how a Ix)wry hnd
once been chnsed from cover with

Elizabeth City for more than ten 1
yearn. He was sent to the roads
from the local police court be- ?
fore h<' wu3 more than 18 years
of age for (Jelling liquor. In ISlfi,
the elty was visited with an epi
demic of burglaries and in March
of that year John Lowry was j
tried before Superior Court Judge !
Oliver Alh-n on a charge of house- j
breaking, but the jury failed to i
convict him. In jail at that time 1
Lowry had made a model prison
er, his demeanor In the court wan
excellent and made so favorable '
an Impression upon the court i
that Judge Allen commended the
jury's verdict, condemned the \
sending of so young a prisoner to ;
the roads in the first instance and |
made an appeal to young I*owry 1
tO tak- a pew start ami
BtltYgftt;
Hut the next year the epidemic
of robberies was continued and
on September 21 of that year
John and Fulton Ix?wry were cap- 1
turpd with the loot of their last
haul and a quantity of other val
uables under a trap door in tin
floor of the l.owry home. It wns ?
in this raid that a Are hose was
,Uacd tr> rlrl vi' I-'nHnn frnin rrtvur .
under the Lowry homo. The fol
lowing March John and Fulton j
I?owry were tried for burglary
and the jury brought In a verdict |
of guilty In the second degree j
against them. Judge O. W. Con-'
nor was the Superior Court Judge
who sentenced John to 15 years
and Fulton to 2"> years In the
State's prison.
Fulton was taken to Italelgh ;
but escaped front State's prison in i
a few months. He was recap- '
tured at Tarboro but escaped j
again a few weeks later. John j
soysJi'ulton Is now In Australia.
Fultoh. when he was recaptured
about two years ago, said that
John was III Europe. However,
current belief Is strong that Fill- !
ton was with John on this trip
and that Fulton was the "pal" io
whom John referred several times
as having been with him here J
prior to his capture Saturday.
"T>octor. I was In your car
night before last." said John
Lowry to Dr. Z. Fearing Saturday
in jail as the physician dressed
the wound in his leg. "We
thoufht about taking your car. :
but we didn't do It. I thought
too much of you. Here's your
key."
A crowd estimated at BOO peo
ple were at th^ Norfolk Southern j
passenger station Sunday night to
i see the prisoner off. The car In'
, which he wns driven to the sta- i
Itlon swting Info the station yard,
j 1 0 minutes before train time and
.the crowd Miirtred toward and
around it to trv to catch a glimpse
Of Bttflftbftth City's one time boy
burglar. He sat on the bach seat,
his wounded leg proppod up on
kthe hack of the front seat, unlet

probably from the comic supple- 1

was very quiet Sunday night at

Prltchard and Police Officer
Twlddy left for Raleigh with him. ?
When John Lowry escaped
from jail here on a Sunday night
In March. 191R. It was found that
he had sawed his way out of his
cell and It was supposed that a
saw had been smuggled to him In
fhe Jail. Lowry, however, denies
this theory. "I used a piece of
steel from the sole of my shoe,"
he declares. When bloodhounds
were put on his trail they took a
rour.w to the riverfront where
the Lowry boat was found miss
ing. and It wan supposed he had I
escaped to the Camden side In a
boat and had there taken an auto-;
mobile. This theory was appar- !
cntly confirmed when tlu? -I?w.r-y
boat was later found on the Cam
den side of the river, llut John
says he went out by the Suffolk ?
& Carolina railroad.
"At the Suffolk & Carolina de
pot." he said, "I met a Mr. Wat-;
son. brother of Jack Watson, who
worked for the Richmond Cedar
Works. He asked me what I was ;
doing out of Jail and I told him
the Judge had given me my llh
erty on condition that I leave
town."
Having been outwitted by th? i
prisoner once. Sheriff Reld was
taking no chances this time. A
religious service for prisoners
that win to have been conducted
at the Jail on Sunday ?ai called
off and no visitors whatever were
allowed to see I.owry In his cell
all day, exception being made
only In the ease of his mother,
who was permitted one vlalt to
him before he left.
Current opinion here Is that
Lowry will be out of State's prls- (
on at Raleigh within six months. J
