PRISONER WHO
 FLED HOSPITAL
 RE-APPREHENDED

After making his escape from Bis bee hospital and eluding the police for several weeks, Thomas Densmore, also known to the police as J. w. Johnson and MT. Scott" Monday night crossed the international bound ary at Naco, Sonora, according to the police, and walked into the arms of Deputy Sheriff Tom Foster, who was waiting for him. Shortly after Dens- more had been taken prisoner Mrs. Carl Richardson, alias Mrs. J. w. John son, was taken into custody by county officer at a rooming house in LO- well and lodged in the Lowell jail.
 A few feet away from the cell oc- cupied by Mrs. Richardson, DersmOre sat on an imprOvised cot and buried his head in his hands. Three weeks ago he had been found by the police in a weakened condition bleeding pro fusely from a serious wound in the back inflicted by a razor Last night the wound had healed considerably.
 When the police discovered the pTis- oner shortly after he had been cut a few weeks ago, Densmore related a story, they say, to the effect that he had been held up by two men, one a Mexican and the other an American and that the American held him while the Mexican cut him. Mrs. Richard son, however, related different story, according to the officers. She insisted that the wound was the result of ar. accident The two different stories led the police to believe that other mo- tives were responsible for the cutting and an investigation was conducted which resulted in the finding of a blood-stained razor on the top of the kitchenette in the apartments oc- cupied by Mrs. Richardson. She was placed under arrest and charged with an assault with a deadly weapon with attempt to kill. Densmore, under be lief that he was going to die, is said story was untrue.
 In the meantime Mrs. Richardson had been placed in the Bisbee jail and a preliminary hearing was to be held as soon as Densmore was in condi- tion to appear in court. A few days later however, a call at the hospital re- vealed that Densmore had fled during the early hours of the morning. Aft CT a diligent search for the prisoner the court released Mrs Richardson
  O fthe material witness.
 Densmore is now alleged to have had friend, jitney bus driver, bring him some clotffes and after dressing himself walked out of the hospital into a waiting automobile. From the Cop per Queen hospital the car swung toward the Huachuca mountains and then doubled back to the Louis Springs ranch where the wounds of Densmore- were dressed and where he | remained for several days, it is said.
 A few days ago it was learned, ac cording to the police, that DensmOre made a trip from Louis Springs into Bisbee and at the time it is alleged that Ire walked the streets in perfect freedom. Leaving Bisbee he crossed the international boundTy at Naco, Ariz under the name of Scott While in Naco, Sonora, he made his lodging with a Chinese restaurant keeper On the eve of the Cinco de Mayo celebra- ton Densmore was conspicuous fig ure on the Mexican streets and as sumed the role of an official bureau of information for visiting American joy seekers.
 Densmore and Mrs. Richardson have had charges preferred against them by the court of Judge Winters at Lo- we'll It is probable, according to the court, that the old charge against Mrs. Richardson charging her with an assault with deadly weapon with attempt to kill' will be brought up at the preliminary hearing which is scheduled TOT some time today.
