Connell Photo) By DOUGLAS CROCKET and ROBERT KENNEY Staff Reporters Albert II. DeSalvo, self-proclaimed Boston Strangler, "was captured in a West Lynn uniform shop Saturday afternoon and locked in the state's maximum security correctional institution at Walpole. The capture of the 35-year-old former Army boxer ended a nationwide search begun early Friday when DeSalvo and two other inmates broke out of P'ridgewater State Hospital. The other two gave up Friday night. Information gained from the two other fugitives and from DeSalvo's two brothers who were arrested in connection with the escape prompted police to concentrate their search in Lynn.

DeSalvo left a note behind at Bridgewater for hospital superintendent Charles W. Gaughan, "telling him how sorry I was to leave." Talking to reporters after his capture, he said he left the note by his bed. He said it said, "Since I can't understand the law and society, the way it acts, I'm going to leave." He said the letter also said, "I would do no harm to nobody. I didn't bother nobody. I never will either." DeSalvo's apprehension ended a freedom spree of almost 36 hours, a massive manhunt that stretched from Canada to Mexico and a fear that gripped women throughout the Northeast.

He was taken in Simons Uniform Co. at 741 Western an establishment specializing in the sale of policemen's uniforms. As police approached him in the store, he was on the telephone, trying to make arrangements to turn himself in. He had acquired a sailor's pea jacket and trousers to replace his prison gear, and he entered the store at 2:35 p.m. He was recognized immediately and, while one employee allowed him to use the phone, another telephoned Lynn police.

Police quoted DeSalvo as saying, "I didn't harm anyone." He told his captors he made the break to bring attention to his need for rehabilitation. During his trial five weeks ago, on charges not related to the 13 Greater Boston stranglings, DeSalvo sought confinement elsewhere than at Bridge-water, where he has been a patient more than two Shock May Bring Action NEWS ANALYSIS By JEREMIAH V. MURPHY Staff Reporter LYNN A Lynn brother and sister slept soundly Friday night completely unaware that the man who claims to be the Boston strangler spent the night in their cellar. Arthur Vincent of 785 Western av. recalled Saturday that he and his sister heard a "bump or something" in the cellar around 2:30 a.m., but bdth fell asleep again when no further sound was heard.

That "bump" was Albert H. DeSalvo who says he has murdered 13 women as he broke into the cellar of the three-story wooden tenement house. DeSalvo was looking desperately for someplace to hide until daylight. Anyone on the street at 2:30 a.m. attracts attention, he knew.

So with a screw driver he quietly removed the lock on the cellar door. Carefully he opened the cellar door and stepped into the darkness, apparently bumping into a stack of window screens. That was the "bump" that Vincent and his' sister, Mrs. Simone Fedas, heard. DeSalvo felt his way into the darkness and found a corner where two old storm doors had been placed on their side against the wall.

He crawled between the doors and tried to sleep. Shortly after dawn, DeSalvo smoked two cigarettes the butts were found later and then checked the cellar's contents. Then DeSalvo got a break. He found a sailor's uniform. He changed his hospital jacket for the sailor coat.

He was ready to flee again. But before leaving the cellar, he carefully replaced the lock in the door. LYNN "We don't want another Dallas. Get some men out there when we bring him out," Pubic Safety Comr. Leo Laughlin said to a police official at headquarters here.

Outside, all along Sutton a crowd of more than 3000 persons yelled and screamed and stamped their feet in the wintry cold. They had come to get a look, perhaps fleeting but a look, at Albert DoSalvo, who by claiming 13 strangling murders has ranked himself alongside history's most infamous slayers. Laughlin had good reason to fear that some self-styled avenger might try to take DeSalvo's lite, as one did to Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas. i It took only minutes for the crowd, mostly excited, partly angry, to build up. Word of DeSalvo's capture spread quickly through the downtown business district.

And before DeSalvo left the city, the crowd would increase in size and emotion until it had nearly stormed police headquarters and almost overwhelmed a cordon of heavily-armed state troopers. Police had been cruising the city throughout the day in search of the fugitive, but the attention of passersby was sharply drawn to Simons Uniform Co. at Western av. and Federal st. shortly after 2:30 p.m.

Perhaps it was the intense look on the faces of three Lynn patrolmen as they drew up in a police cruiser and leaped out. CAPTURE Page 11 By BAY RICHARD Stiff Be sorter The fear which beset residents of Massachusetts wmle Albert DeSalvo was on the loose may have been another in a list of experiences this state has endured without taking action on crime, criminals and correctional institutions. If the escape of a man like DeSalvo and the apprehension his liberty created in people across the state did any good, it probably was limited to convincing the disbelievers that something should be done about our emphasis to claims that the State Hospital needs new facilities. Shock, in the past, has brought action. The 72-hour Cherry Hill riot in the old State Prison in Charlestown jolted the state into changes in its penal laws and hastened the razing of the centuries old prison.

The escape, and investigations of it, are sure to shed more light and create more interest in the nearly 200 men committed at the hospital, although there may be no valid legal or medical reasons why they haven't been transferred or freed.

"I'm very happy," he said as he wai led into Lynn police headquarters Saturday, climaxing 36 hours that taxed the resources of every state law enforcement agency and once again ignited the terror of the Boston Strangler. The manhunt began early Friday, when guards at Bridgewater State Hospital discovered DeSalvo and two other prisoners missing. The other two were considered dangerous, but nowhere near DeSalvo's potential. Asst.

Atty. Gen. Donald L. Conn was called immediately in to coordinate the search. As an assistant district attorney, Conn won a conviction against DeSalvo on a series of charges in January.
