Convict Finnicum Captured After Prison Escape Near Letart
Convict Finnicum, who escaped from a road camp near Letart, was captured at a home near Letart around noon by Deputy Sheriff P. Hesson and Trooper Coyner. He was brought to the County Jail awaiting guards from the prison. Finnicum had been tried at the January circuit court term on grand larceny and breaking and entering the Letart office and taking money. He was sentenced to one to several years in prison. He claimed he had to return to prison or had been working in Ohio and planned to return sooner, and officers say his liberty loss may lengthen his term.
