Tragic Wreck Ends Escaped Patient’s Life at Rail Yard
A train conductor found Booker Pickrell, an escapee from the state asylum, beneath the tracks as the freight backed toward the yardmaster’s office. Pickrell, from Seward, had been at the asylum eight months and was to be sent home next week if relatives could receive him. He suffered a gunshot wound earlier, and his escape and death raise questions about asylum handling. The incident occurred near Lincoln. The report notes sympathy from asylum staff and outlines prior events surrounding Pickrell’s health and escape.
