Mayor's Guard Captures Escaped Inmate
GRAND BEACH, Mich. (July 13) - A convicted killer who was one of three inmates who escaped from the Indiana State Prison was caught Monday near the vacation home of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley by one of his bodyguards, and authorities warned residents nearby to stay inside.
The guard was holding the inmate, 48-year-old Charles Smith, at gunpoint in a driveway near Daley's home, when police arrived and took him into custody, said Grand Beach Police Chief Dan Schroeder. The three inmates — two murderers and a rapist — escaped from the prison through the tunnel system underneath the penitentiary, which is eight miles from Daley's vacation home and 40 miles from Chicago.
