Carlos A. Williams, the fourth men,
Der of the quartette which escaped
from the St. Peter State Hospital for
the Insane on June 25th, was taken in
to custody last Monday, when he re-
turned to the institution and gave him
self up. Williams, a negro, was sup
posed to be one of the most desperate
characters in the ward. However, one
month of liberty, which he is believed
to have spent in working for farmers,
was enough for him. His three COM
panions were all accounted for some
time ago. Norman LIE Claire was cap
tured in St. Paul two days after his
escape; Frank Geisbauer made his
way to the state prison at Saltwater,
where he asked to be admitted and
where he is now confined; and Alfred
Swanson was captured in St. Paul
several weeks ago and returned to St.
Peter.
