TEN OF THIRTEEN INMATES CAPTURED
______

    IONIA, Mich., June 4, (AP)--Ten of the thirteen criminally insane inmates of the Michigan State hospital here who forced their way to freedom Tuesday were once more in custody tonight.
    The three still at large are Roy A. Wynkoop, Henry Vaden and Gerald Badgley. They may have stolen an automobile and escaped from this section of the state. Approximately 150 men are searching for them.
    Vaden is a murderer. Wynkoop created a near panic in a Detroit courtroom in 1929 when he confronted Judge Lamb with two pistols. Badgley also is considered dangerous.
