Burglary Suspect Hospitalized After 100 Mile Chase
Gallia County deputy Jack Owens chased a 27 year old Cincinnati man for 100 miles ending with a Route 160 crash near Vinton. The suspect, who gave the name William Wise, was admitted to Holzer Hospital with a fractured leg and multiple scalp and facial injuries, listed in fair condition. The wrecked 1956 car was registered to James T. Harris of Cincinnati. The driver was pinned in the wreckage and could not be positively identified, with the man later telling a nurse his name was James Harris. Found in the trunk of the car were items linking to the case.
