Mental Escapee Is
Captured at Dump

An escapee from the State
mental security prison at Hunting
ton, w. Va, was rccapturcd at the
city dump. He was listed as Frank
lin Dclano Davis, of Rock Creek,
w Va, aged %.
The story began last Friday af-
ternoon during a heavy rain when
Eli Meats, custodian of the area,
came running out to the road and
hailed passer-by who was head
ing into the dump to dispose of
some trash. Don't go in there,
there are four Jail breakers from
the West Virginia state pen"
About that time another car
stopped and Meats got aboard and
departed toward town. The other
person, a school teacher went to
a nearby telephone for assistance.
There was no officer at the
sheriffs residence at the time and
the man contacted Percy LaWton,
town policeman.
Percy responded but when he
he ought to get assistance. He final
he ougt to get assistance. He final
ly located Wayne Wilt, deputy
sheriff, through the hospital and
city radio network, and James E.
Frantz, who by that time had re-
turned to the sheriff's office.
In the meantime Percy had
spotted one person and finally
ordered him to come out to the
road, which he did-and meekly
at that. In a short time Frantz and
then Wilt arrived and they escorted
Percy and the young man to the
Jail where state police sent out
messages to other nearby police
agencies and it wasn't long before
the man was properly identified.
Davis was the only escapcc in
the area. He was soaking wet and
cold and appeared glad to get to
shelter. He said he hitchcd ride
to get here but didn't remember
where he got off.
He was returned this week to
West Virginia authorities.
Meats, it was learned later, had
heard a radio broadcast stating
that four persons had escaped from
Moundsville, and when he spotted
Davis at the dump he concluded
the other three were somewhere
nearby.
