Biddeford Escapee Is Captured

A Biddeford man serving a state prison sentence for larceny and escape from the Men's Reformatory escaped from the State prison farm in South Warren early today but was captured in Wiscasset a few hours later. Rene Boutillette of 3 Hill Street Biddeford was reported missing to Biddeford police around 6 am with a statewide alert broadcast. Authorities say his wife, believed to be in Connecticut seeking a divorce, may have a sister in New Britain. Boutillette was arraigned in 1955 on larceny charges and later received a Men’s Reformatory sentence after an appeal. He escaped and was recaptured by Biddeford Police Chief Edgar Sevigny before being returned to the State prison.
