PRICE EVADES
Trial on a Felony Charge
by
Finally Getting Into the
Asylum.
Louis Price alias J. W. Wimer is now in the asylum at Weston, having been committed by Justice A. C. Hughes, at Weston upon complaint of Nora Price, his wife, that he is a lunatic.
Price is charged here with wholesale forgery of checks and was indicted by the recent grand jury of the criminal court. His case will not be called in court until the authorities at the asylum pronounce him sane, if ever. The superintendent of that institution has been notified by the county authorities here to keep a close vigil on Price in order to prevent his escape and not to discharge him without notice to them. The action is taken with a view of placing him on trial, when he leaves the custody of the asylum authorities.
