Escapee Dietsch Must Return To Wisconsin Prison
A 54 year old man who fled a Wisconsin State Prison farm in 1935 to attend his father's funeral will be returned to the penitentiary at Waupun after a 22 year absence. George Dietsch, living under aliases with a wife in Iowa and Minnesota, faces trial and sentencing for escape before any clemency. He was identified after a Fort Dodge traffic arrest and new fingerprint checks. Dietsch says he had a good life but acknowledges legal processes. The case likely returns him to Dodge County Circuit Court for sentencing, with possible clemency later.
