ESCAPED CONNECTS
 CAPTURED BY POSSE
Wilson and Blaszyk Arrested
 Without Fight Today
ARE NOT WISELY AFFECTED
Former Evangelist, One Of Those Taken, Seems Relieved When Told That Guard They Assailed Is Not Badly Hurt.

Los Angeles, Oct. S.-Herbert Will. son. former evangelist mail bandit and convicted murderer, Adam Blas- zyk, convicted murderer, and Guido Spignola, convicted robber, who broke jail here yesterday, were recaptured here today after 24 hours liberty They were taken without a struggle In home of former convict.
 Taken By Surprise. .
 The fugitives were taken in house not far from where they abandoned the automobile which they had stolen. Information of their presence there was obtained early today by a deputy sheriff and Sheriff William l. Traeger and posse of deputies surrounded the residence and effected the cap ture with the same suddenness that the trio had surprised the jaiers in their liberty break yesterday morning.
 The capture resulted from the use of plans Wilson had formulated for concealment after the attempted break last April, which was frustrat- ed by sheriff's deputies and in which Herbert Cox. partner of Wilson, was killed. Wilson was convicted of mur- der as a result. The three who es- capped yesterday were captured in the place where they had planned to hide last April.
 Glad Guard Isn't Killed.
 The same sangfroid the former evangelist had exhibited since he be- came known to the authorities was present in Wilson's greeting to the captors. There was no confusion and Wilson and his fellow fugitives peace ably surrendered when they saw the large number around the house. Will sons first question was concerning the condition of Turnkey Henry Purrier who was knocked unconscious in the break yesterday morning. He smiled and expressed satisfaction when in formed Purrier was not seriously hurt.
 Wilson, former travelling evangel- ist and native of London, Ont, showed his usual self-control, accord ing to Sheriff Traeger.
 He saw the crowd outside and saw that we had men with guns inside and he came to the door smiling" the sheriff said.
 Wilson was folio wed across the continent last year by federal agents who sought him in connection with postal truck and department store robberies in which the loot aggregat- cd more than a million dollars, off cers said
