Several shots were fired by penitentiary guards, and a rifle bullet pierced Wren's right leg. Prison officials credited the shot to Guard John D. Smith and de scribed the convict's wound as more painful than serious. Wren fled through brush along Mill creek through the guards' fire, but put up no resistance to State Police Capt. R. G. Howard when the latter chased him to a rock wall along the creek at the forestry building grounds. Capt. Howard was approaching the nearby state police headquarters in his car at about 7 a.m. when he heard shots, caught sight of the fleeing prisoner and jumped from his car" in pursuit. ! Convict Wren was carrying a knife when he surrendered him self to Capt. Howard. The work crew Wren had fled from was just reporting to duty under an armed guard. Wren has been in prison here since 1946 when he was. received from Lake county after conviction of assault with intent to rob and sentenced to five years' imprison rr.ent.
