Full Text

Geo. Lake of Bucksport, and Charles H. Page of Sidney, who committed the assault on Edmunds and escaped from the Insane Hospital the other night, have not yet been captured. Page was supposed to be at his former home, in Sidney, but an officer was sent for him, and has not been able to find him. He may possibly be concealing himself in the woods. Edmunds is recovering from his wounds, that were very severe. We notice that some of the papers confound Page who has escaped, with Page the miserable Chelsea murderer. The latter has too much cowardice to attack a full grown man. He can do better with a poor, weak, defenceless woman, with a sucking babe at her breast.

Event Details

Geo. Lake of Bucksport and Charles H. Page of Sidney committed an assault on Edmunds and escaped from the Insane Hospital. Page was thought to be at his home in Sidney but could not be found and may be hiding in the woods.
