Escapee Wn Wright Arrested After Manhattan Capture
The inmate known as Wn Wright alias Wm Watson and Big Bill Mason, who escaped from the northern prison in July 1897 with two accomplices, was arrested in New York City. Mason, a noted criminal with prior sentences in Terre Haute and Philadelphia, faced Philadelphia murder charges after a New York arrest. Authorities in Michigan City and Philadelphia coordinated, and Mason’s surrender to Philadelphia officials followed a governor's requisition. The case underscores Mason’s notoriety and potential return to a northern prison if convicted.
