“War Prisoner Caught By P.R.R.”

Heinz Gulze, 23, an escaped war prisoner, was recaptured early today at Oil City, Pa., by Pennsylvania Railroad detectives ... . The German escaped last Tuesday while working at the Sunshine Packing Company plant in Northeast, Pa.
***
Oil City is due south of Northeast, perhaps 100 miles away. Maybe he was trying to get to Pittsburgh.
