seen frequently. even calling at the homes
of two policemen in quest OF food, Which
was given 20 him in fear and trembling.
Every one in Terre Haute knows that he
is a dangerous man TO be at large. and that
he is likely to carry out his quietly-made
threat to kill two or three persons he be-
neves have done him injury. When word
was received that he had escaped from the
hospital. his mother left her home. fearful
that he would kill her. Last night the po-

In 1879, when WhitehouSe was arrested
