Prisoner Escaped on Monday, Cap-
tured on Tuesday.
Herschell Thompson, a Mississippi
negro, escaped from Rockview peni-
tentiary on Monday morning and at
nocn on Tuesday he surrendered to a
pcsse of Pennsvalley men hunting
for him on Brush mountain east
of Spring Mills. The men who ef-
fected the capture were John Woods,
Harvey Long, Evans Long, Adam
Long, Alvin Duck and Clayton Long.
With visions of the fifty dollar re-
ward paid for the capture of each es-
caped prisoner the men decided to
take a look on Brush mountain, on
Tuesday morning, and along about
noontime Thompson came out of the
underbrush and voluntarily surren-
dered, admitting that he had escaped
from Rockview the day before, and
requesting the men to give him some-
thing to eat.
He was taken to the home of one of
the men, given dinner and then the
six men brought him to Bellefonte
and landed him in the Centre county
jail, notifying the penitentiary offi-
cials of the capture. The six men
will divide the fifty dollars reward.
Thompson, who escaped while at
work on the new reservoir in Me-
Bride’s gap, on Nittany mountain, was
sent up from Erie county on May 18,
1925, for from three to six years for
robbery. He will now have to serve
an additional sentence of like dura-
tion for breaking and escaping.
