Paperhanger Kepner Escapes From Sacred Heart Hospital
Donald Edwin Kepner 24 of Onawa Iowa jailed on a bad check charge walked out of Sacred Heart hospital last night. Doctors reported a serious kidney condition and the hospital noted he had recent treatment in Nebraska. A social security card led to a forged check on Le Mars Savings Bank. Ronald Davis 22 of Onawa was arrested with Kepner after attempting the same ruse. Davis pleaded guilty to uttering a forged statement and was sent to the state reformatory with a suspended sentence.
