Years day bludgeon death of a school teacher was found dead in his New York
city detention cell over the weekend.
New York police listed the death of John Wayne Wilson, 23, whose
residence here was listed as 226 W. Locust St., as suicide. NYC sources and
local reports said Mr. Wilson hanged himself in his jail cell. His body was
found Saturday.
Mr. Wilson was charged in New York in the beating and stabbing death
of Roseann Quinn, 28, a teacher of deaf children for the past three years at
the 102 year old St. Josephs School in New York.

Indianapolis and NYC police, taken to New York detention center a short time
later, and had been there ever since awaiting trial.

his wife, the former Candy Cole, Miami, Fla.; two children Lori Ann and Amy Jo
Wilson of Shelbyville; a grandmother; Gertrude Wilson of Moscow, and three
brothers and sisters, Maurice E., Terri Sue and Judy Lynn Wilson all of
