Vernon Bawlf, Convict Who Es
caped From The Federal Jail
Surrendered Yesterday
Vernon, Bawlf, convict who escap
ed from the federal jail Tuesday
j uight, August 28, and las been out
j 2 weeks, yesterday surrendered him
self to U. S. Marshal TanneT and
'o special deputy Hardy, and is now
again in the prison awaiting his
transfer to Juneau.
When found, Bawlf had a growth
of wniskere about an inch long and
firey red in color, and was dirty
from heaj to foot, and according to
Tanner presented the appearance of
I a veritable wild man.
Hardy and Tanner left town yes
terday morning to search for the
convict, but after- neaTly an all day
hunt were not able to find him.
Just as they were returning in a
small boat from 'he vicinity be
low St argil's wood camp, Bwalf yelh
ed at them, and after a conver
sation, surrendered himself.
When found Bwalf was in posses
ion of a 45-60 rifle, a revolver,
a badly nicked razor blade, several
small hack saws in the lining of
his shirt, and a pocket knife. He
had provisions stored in two caches
in the hills. His Oregon boo: was
gone.
It was learned this morning that
special deputy Hardy 6aw the con
vict Saturday and had a long talk
with him, and thejr agreed that if
effort would be made to secure cer
tain concessions for him and to par
ole him in a short time, he would
surrender. Hardy *vas to give him
the reply yesterday .
When the deputies yesterd*y
came near Bawlf's rendevous Har
dy went to the camp alone, fear
ing that if Bawlf sasv two men, he
would not come out and talk. On
the door of the cabin he found a
notice from Bawlf saying that if
not around he woul1 probably be
in the woods huutiLg, and to shoot
or yell and he would come dowu
and talk.
Unable to find the man, Tanner
and Hardy posted more than 2<1
signs in the woods calling attention
to the fact that they were unarm
ed and wishe to talk to Bawlf.
After ourrendering Bawlf told
the men that the situation of the
country certainly had him in a trap,
and tnat it was next to impossible
to get away. He did not surrender
without first having quite a talk
with Tanner and Hardy regarding
his sentence and the time that he
would have to serve.
A statement by Bawlf given to
the Alaskan this morning is:
"Tuesday night I picked up my
coat and hat, stole some salt from
the kitchen cupboard, pulled up
the radiator In tne floor and es
caped out the basement door of the
court house. In just & few minutes
I heard some shots fired and; yelling
and from my position on the hill
back of the jail saw many men run
out the track and search tlxe
near-by houses. That night I
went further up Mt. Dewey, and hid,
Testing all the nest day but being
constantly on. watch.. That evening
I Killed a porcupine, made a tire
from matches which I had, cooked
the animal, and had my first meal.
X had procured salt from the kitch
en . 1.1 u:
"The next day I broke into a
cabin near the mill by the first
lake and found a gun and some
grub. There was a sledge hammer
there and 1 used that to break open
the Oregon boot, which I got off
and threw into the brush. The same
night X went down to Sturgil's wood
camp and there fixed up the gun,
which was not much account. There
were a number of 45-70 cartridges
; there which I filed down to fit the
45-60 gun which I had. That even
ing I gathered lumber from the
camp and started to make a xaft.
"The nexit morning I found my
lumber gone, and one of the Po
licemen had taken it S'ith which
to make a raft for himself and
came back to Skagway on it.
"Sunday while I was hunting
around on the mountain some one
shot at me, and I up. with my 6ua
and shot back, and the nran. That
day X went back up Deyvey moun
tain and for part Of three days
tried to cross the glacier leading
into the Taku river. There was.
no wood on the glacier or on the
mountain bo X could not make fire,
ani had to eat raw oatmeal and
sugar. When I found I oould not
make it, I came back to Sturgil's
wood camp.
"Saturday; the policeman saw me
at the camp and we had quite a
talk. I agreed to remain there
until he would give me an answer
about some things 1 asked him.
He came back yesterday with the
chief, and when I saw them I
yelled, but ducked behind a rock
for fear there might be some one
behind me who would take a shot
at me. X then cams down. and
surrendered to the policemen.
"I went on, the range when I was
14 years old, and am accustomed to
outdoor life. I was sentenced to
from 3% to 15 years in the Walla
Walla penitentiary for horse steal
ing, and my partner was only sen
tenced to one year. When he and
I had both served the same time I
thought it was only fair that I
should get out too, and so broke
away.
"The people in Alaska are a fine
sort, and I have made many fine
acquaintances in Atlin."
Bawlf is 6 fest 2 inches in height
and is ong of the most whole
hearted person one would wishr to
talk to. Ha has kindly blue eyes,
and in every appearance shows a
fine sturdy type of man if surround
ed by proper environments.
Judge Young, with headquarters
in Prince Rupert, was a passenger
for Skagway on the Princess Alice
and will leace on the train tomor
row for Atlin where ho will hold a
term of court.
