Captured Fugitive Returned To Jail: Douglas Williams, nabbed Saturday afternoon by Ann Arbor Patrolman, Howard R. Remnant (left) five and half hours after the Ypsilanti Negro made a spectacular break for freedom from the courthouse where he was on trial, is turned over to Lt. Erwin Klager, of the Washtenaw sheriff's detective bureau, from whom he had escaped. Remnant found Williams hiding in the basement of a N.
