Raleigh, Nov. 27—Otto Wood, the most successful prison escaper since the days of Dr. J. Walter Peacock, was still going tonight when the prison officials were last interviewed. Mr. Wood’s habits have worried many Raleigh people who neve liked his writing style or his human approach. As he doubtless expects to be killed when he found, he is liable to turn up here and undertake to duplicate the Slim Anderson stunt last week. How well Mr. Wood likes notoriety has not been shown, but Raleigh people would be better satisfied if they had any assurance that the bad man will not return.
He promised last year to do up Warden Busbee, who was done up officially before Mr. Wood had served much of his time due on the second imprisonment. Mr. Busbee as a private citizen has no thought of being disturbed by Wood, who is such a successful man-killer that one hand does the work.
