ESCAPED CONWCTS
ARE CAPTURED HERE
William Robinson and Jack
Burke Who Fled Michigan
City Held by Police.
News-Times Special Service.

ELKHART. Ind. April 1s.-New
York Central Special officers Henry
Wise and Charles Winters captured
two escaped convicts from Michigan
City prison at s O'Clock Monday
morning after a chase which last
ed about a mile and ended near
the Goshen Elkhart road south of
this city.
The two men captured are Will
liam Claire Robinson. a Negro, who
was sent to Michigan City prison
six years ago for murder. and the
other is Jack Burke, who has served
10 years for the murder of Louis
Keller, n South Bend merchant po-
liceman.
Both men were serving life terms
and had made their escape from
prison late Sunday night by saving
their way, along with two other
convicts. from the insane ward Of
the Michigan City prison.
Lead Officers Lively Chase.
officer Wise was the first TO see
the two men and was suspicious of
them because they acted like they
were unaccustomed TO riding cars.
Consequently he decided TO find out
what they were doing on railroad
property. Wise told his fellow Of
ficer. Mr.. Winters, to take the white
man and he, Wise, would follow
the big Negro. AS the officers APP
preached the two men they began
to run and the officers followed
them.
officers Winters stopped Burke
about a mile from the railroad and
Officer Wise cornered the Negro a
short distance beyond. The Negro
put up a fight but Wise overpowered
him. II was then discovered that
the two men were wearing the
prison gray" uniforms and upon
questioning from the officers, they
admitted that they were two of the
four men who had escaped from
Michigan City prison.
The Elkhart police were called
and the two convicts were taken to
the city Jail where they are being
held until officers from the prison
come for them.
William Claire Robinson is a big
burly Negro, and was sent to Mich
igen City prison six years ago for
shooting a man at Gary. He is
described as a very dangerous man
and although he has been i'm prison
for six years. he has never been on
the trusty list.
Jack Burke is a little smaller
than Robinson but is considered by
the prison officials as equally as
dangerous and although he has been
in prison for 19 years. he too has
never been on the trusty list Burke
was convicted for the murder of a
South Bend policeman and like
Robinson is serving a life term in
the prison.
Escaped Sunday Night.
The two captured men, along with
two other criminals, sawed their
way from the insane ward Of the
Michigan City prison about s o'clock
Sunday night. The other two men
have not been captured and neither
Burke nor Robinson would tell any
thing regarding them. Both men
deny any knowledge of their where
abouts but said that they thought
the other two men had gone the
other way.
Burke had a slight limp when
captured and said that he was IN
iured when he fell from the prison
wall last night. His face was also
badly cut and he said that this
was the result of brush wounds re-
ceived as he crawled away from the
prison.
Robinson claims to have six bull
