Died in the Penitentiary

Thomas Meek died in the insane department of the Anamosa Penitentiary. Meek was sent there from Des Moines about two months ago , having become violently insane during the time he was held for trial on the charge of assaulting a number of little girls who went to school to him. Meek was at one time a prominent teacher in Des Moines, and was a candidate for the county superintendency once.
