Manacled Carpenter Captured After Citywide Hunt
Richard Carpenter, 26, barefoot in hospital pajamas, sat in the Chicago detective bureau after a police siege that flushed him from an apartment where he held a family prisoner for 23 hours. He was the target of a citywide manhunt for slaying a policeman and wounding another. Carpenter suffered head cuts during capture. Mrs. Mary E. Williams faces eviction from a Franklin Pa housing project for paying rent in a nightgown, with officials not confirming attire as the sole reason.
