Two escapees from a county jail in Maine were captured Friday by state police near Ellenville after they spent four days in the Fleischmanns-Arkville area and
♦ l e f t behind a trail of bad checks and an abandoned stolen car. The car, which had been traded to a Fleischmanns man, but “dumped” in Arkville, aroused the suspicions of Trooper Joseph Moore and led to the arrest.
After their arrest in Ellenville, Kenneth Rivers, 28, of Lowell, Mass., and Nelson Beane, 21, of North Anston, Maine, were turned over to state police of the Margaretville substation and brought before Justice of the Peace Donald Fenton on fugitive charges. They were remanded to the Delaware county jail to await extra-, dition to Maine, where charges of prison break are to be added to those for which they were already jailed.
When Trooper Moore requested a license check of the car in Arkville, he learned that it had been stolen. Meanwhile, Rivers and Beane had "traded” it to the Fleischmanns resident for a motor scooter, on which they traveled to Ellenville.
While in this area the pair cashed fraudulent checks for small amounts, the largest of which was for $12. Rivers had been employed in this area several years ago.
After their arrest, the pair was questioned at the Margaretville substation regarding the stolen car, which had been taken in Wilton, N. H. During the questioning they admitted that they had broken out of the Somerset county jail in Skowhegan, Maine^ by sawing window bars. Rivers was being held there for violatioii of probation for a burglary conviction andiBeáne for a charge of forgery. The pair waived extradition:
