Taylor Identified as Convict Refugee from State Capital
A verdict of guilty was returned today against Robert Taylor charged with embezzling a Ford, said to be an escaped convict from the Baton Rouge state penitentiary. He is identified as William Harris alias Ed Ingle, a missing convict who escaped in 1919 after six years for grand larceny. The penitentiary issued notice to Monroe after his arrest and officials report a positive identification photograph, though Taylor denies it. The stolen car had changed ownership twice since its disappearance, and a $50 reward is offered for Taylor Harris Ingle’s return as witnesses prepare to testify.
