Edison Slightly Improved But Hope for Recovery Fades
An Edison man and several others faced a grim update as two fliers spanning the Pacific landed in Washington, while a dramatic breakout from Yates County jail sent six prisoners fleeing. William Bates, 19, of Waterford, Pa was recaptured near Watkins Glen, with Olo Bardo, 42, also linked to the escape. The six men chiselled through a wall, slipping through a 12 by 14 inch gap to freedom during a turnkey absence at the Waterford jail.
