Slippery Jewel Le Clair Captured After Jail Escape
Jewel Le Clair, known as the “sprinter from Georgia,” was recaptured in Butte after a Monday jail escape. She dashed through Broadway streets pursued by Capt. Mike O’Donnell and Officer Gerry, later jailed again under Mrs. Tom O’Rourke. The 19-year-old described Red Cross service in Cheyenne and claimed to be ahead of an Army veteran in Butte. Police link a soldier Ed MeIntyre to the case, while Le Clair asserts no prior acquaintance with him.
