Campus Cop's Tip
Leads To Capture
Of Two Convicts
Following a lead given to him
by William Buchenhorst who was
returning from his night-shift
duties with the Campus patrol,
Officer Donald Hay of the State
College police force captured the
two escaped inmates of Rockview
State' penitentiary, missing since
Tuesday evening, as they walked
over the corner of S. Allen street
and Fairmount avenue at about 7
a. m. yesterday morning.
The two men, Salvatore DeSi
mone and Angelo Carrieri, one of
whom carried a 38-caliber serv
ice revolver, were first spotted by
Buchenhorst in the vicinity of the
West Penn Power Company sub
station. With further informa
tion, Officer Hay traced. the men
to the S. Allen street sector where
he apprehended them.
They surrendered without resist
ance and Hay ordered them into
his police ear, searched them, re
moved the revolver and then
commandeered a passing Naval
ensign to drive the car to the bor
ough lock-up. Later the convicts
were taken to the Centre County
jail to await hearings on the
escape charges.
Both of the prisoners were con
sidered trusties by prison offi
cials and both were nearing the
conclusion of their minimum
terms of sentence.
