No Trace Found Of Prisoner Who Fled From Jail
Wilbur Willard the alleged Lantz post office robber disappeared after escaping Frederick county jail on Tuesday afternoon. A fusillade of shots accompanied his dash across a field as Turnkey William Kolb gave chase. Hurd, who escaped with Willard, was recaptured shortly after, while keeper Dick Potts assisted. The escape occurred when jail door was opened for local barber Roger Angevine. Sheriff Albaugh returned Willard from Toledo after arrest and faced grand jury as plans for a jail delivery surfaced two weeks earlier with seven steel saws found in a cell. A nationwide lookout is maintained for Willard.
