HERMAN MESSMORE, ESCAPEE,
CAUGHT IN VISIT HOME
----------
Shelbyville, Ind.---- A holiday visit with homefolks led to the arrest
of Herman O. Messmore, 20, Monday night, almost three years after his
escape from the Indiana Boy's School at Plainfield. George D. King, FBI
special agent in Indianapolis, said Messmore decided to revisit Shelbyville while a carnival with which he was working was showing at
the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis. The FBI entered the case after
Messmore was accused of registering under a false name with a draft board in Orlando, Fla.
