Felder May Face Arrest En Route to Baltimore
Governor Blease orders South Carolina sheriffs to arrest Thomas B. Felder as he travels from Atlanta to Baltimore for the Democratic convention. Felder faces conspiracy and bribery warrants in Greenville, Spartanburg, Newberry, and Richland counties tied to the old dispensary scandal. Felder may pass via Spartanburg or Abbeville routes, with a Maryland return requisition planned if arrested there. Felder’s supporters seek to steer him away from Carolina routes, while new warrants sharpen the case. Felder is currently in Chicago averse to Carolina passage.
