RESIDENCE NEAR ABANDONED GAR Evangelist Bandit Again Behind Bars After 24 Hours’ of Freedom DOS ANGELES, Oct. 18.— The three jail-breakers, Her- bert Wilson, former evangel- ist-mail bandit and convicted murderer, Adam Blaszk, con- victed murderer, and Guido Springnole, convicted robber, we re captured here today after 24 hours Mberty. ‘They were taken without a struggle in the home of en ex-con- vict. ‘The fugititves were taken in a house not far from where the autto- mobile which they had stolen was abandoned. Information of their pres- ence there was obtained early today by a deputy aberiff, and Sheriff Wil- Mam I. Traeger and a posse of depu- ties surrounded the residence and ef- fected the capture with the same sud: @enness that the trio had surprised | the jallers in their liberty break yes-/ terday morning. The capture resulted from the ise of plans Wilson had formulatetd for | conceaiment after the attempted | break last April, which was frustrat ed by sheriffs deputies and when Herbert tCox, partner of Wilson, was killed. Wilson was convicted of mur der as a result. The trio was cap- tured in the place where they had planned to hide last April. The same sangfroia the former evangelist had exhibited since he was known to the suthorities was present in Wilson's greeting to the captors. There was no confusion and Wilson and his fellow fugitives peaceably surrendered when they saw the large number in the cordon around the house. Wilson's first question was concerning the condititon of Turnkey Henry Purryer, whom he rendered un+ conscious in the break yesterday morning. He smiled and expressed eats tion when informed Purryer ‘was not seriously hurt. Sheriff Traeger learnéa in April} that Wilson planned to’ use thw: home of Tom Garwood, registered in police | records and known as a pal of Wjlson Immediatetly after the escape yester-| day. morning, the sheriff placed the} Garwood home under surveillance. } ‘The reward came early today when watchers saw three men slink into the house. The sheriff was notified andé 2 heavy posse rushed there, sur- rounding the place. “We planted to get away without) hurting any one,”” was the only com-| ment. in connection with the jail break that would be made by Guido} Spignola who was convicted of the robbery of $83,000 from the Stand- ard Oil company. Adam Bilasrky, alias Ward, convicted of the murder} of Mrs. Nancy M. Wheelock, an aged | woman who was strangled here, was/ silent. Wilson, former preacher of Browns- ville, Ore., and traveling evangelist, | former resident and native of Lon @on, Ontario, showed the same rey markable control that he has] manifested during the trial and in the/ previous jail break, according to| Sheriff Traeger. | “He saw the crowd outside, and} saw that he hed men with guns in- side, and he came to the door smil-| ing,” the sheriff said. | Thus another chapter was added to) the history of the ex-evangelist who} swas followed across the continent Mist year by federal agents who sought} him in connection with postal truck} and department store robberies in| which the loot eggregated more than} a million dollars, officers sai. His) record since then has won for him) from the authoriteis'the title “master | criminal.” He demonstrated that the| county jeii isolation was no bar to| any things that he wanted in the! shape of pistols or other wants.

Both Frank McNally, the husban4, and his estranged wife, asserted their claims would be proved by witnesses called to testify at the trial.

Mrs, McNally said she hinted to neighbors as the time approached to announce the: birth, engaged a nurse and then purchased two skillfully constructed dolls. he sald she kept the “twins” y hidden from the curious eyes of neighbors until last April, when she and her husband circulated the report care- | that they had sent the children to Chi cago.
