Drop Search For Man Who Fled From Lockup
County authorities said they are not continuing the search for William Hardman of Gettysburg Pennsylvania who escaped from the Emmitsburg lockup early Sunday after an arrest for a disturbance at a local walkathon grounds Saturday night. The restrained man allegedly fought Deputy Sheriff Albert Adelsberger and struck him with a blow while Ray C Alvis the walkathon manager intervened and hit Hardman twice with a flashlight. Hardman was taken to the jail basement where a physician examined him and the unlocked cell door allowed his escape through the firemen’s hall basement.
