PERRY LYHMI NOW I BEHIND THE MRS

FORMER GREENFIELD MAN WHO STABBED WIFE TO DEATH LAST MAY ARRESTED

AT PEORIA, ILL., AND TELLS OF FLIGHT.

Perry Lynam, formerly of Cleveland and Greenfield, who stabbed ihis wife to death the 25th of last May at Indianapolis and made his escape on a stolen motorcycle, was arrested at Peoria, Illinois, Sunday and returned to Indianapolis Monday, where he is now behind the bars. A formal charge of murder has been lodged against him. After the arrest of Lynam, the police learned for the first time how he managed to escape on a stolen motorcycle, after he stabbed his wife to death, when the officers of all surrounding cities and counties were watching for him.

ILynam said Monday night that he did not follow the National road, says the Indianapolis Star. After leaving his mother-in-law's home he rode north to Broad Ripple, he said, and stopped there an hour. He slarfced West then and spent the night of May 25 in Crawfordsville, £ndiana. He did not change the jituriber on the motorcycle, nor did Ihe attempt to disguise himself.

Jfo the motorcycle through to "Peoria and it stood on the sidewalk in front of his rooming house for two days with a "for sale" sign on it, before some man bought it for $:*0. Lynam said he did not take a backwoods route, but rode boldly through towns in his flight. He passed through many towns and cities where notices of his escape already had been posted and where police and marshals were watching 7 "Have you ever been questioned by the police anywhere?" asked Captain of Detectives J. F. Quigley Monday night. "No, sir," Lynam replied. "I forashed the shoulders of the police in many cities, but was riot questioned." *'7

Lynam's~ arrest at Peoria was in a way accidental, according to his account of the affair. A fight occurred in front of his boarding house on Sunday, he said, and he was held as a witness. He was going •under the name of Harry Walker and had talked to few persons, he said. |j\.

When taken 1o police headquarters in Peoria Lynam said he was at once confronted with a picture of himself, printed on a poster sent
