Escape From Jail Ends With Capture Near Versailles
On a Tuesday afternoon at 2 30 two prisoners fled a county jail in Versailles after a jailer’s son opened the cell. Kelly and Radke from Batenville and Henry Worthington from Sunman escaped during a drink break but were soon pursued by a citizen posse. They were bound over for trial in September on motorcycle theft and assault charges. The trio was recaptured after a strenuous chase, one found under hay and the others in a nearby thicket.
