SEATTLE (AP) — A psychiatric hospital where two men escaped Wednesday night already was facing federal scrutiny for safety problems. Patient Mark Alexander Adams was captured Thursday morning, but authorities are still looking for 28-year-old Anthony Garver, who was accused of torturing a woman to death but was found too mentally ill for trial. Authorities say the men crawled out of a window in a locked, lower-security unit of a Washington state psychiatric hospital south of Tacoma.

The comment was a direct dig at Clinton, who was headed to Ohio and Colorado for fundraising after a campaign stop in New York City.
