been captured by the police at Quincy,

rival of officers from the state institu-

1t will be remembered, escaped and as

of some of the attendants as a special
key was necessary to get into the fire
escape. Since then the hospital au-
thorities have been particularly dill.
gent in their efforts to apprehend Dr.
Green, whom they considered a very
dangerous man. It is with great salts
faction that they know that he has
been apprehended and that he will
shortly be safe behind the walls OF
