Cales Foresees Release With Red Pals Aid
Robert W. Caies, charged as a Charleston blackmailer and jailbreaker, pledged yesterday that Communist pals would win his release from Kanawha County jail. He was moved from Cleveland after FBI agents nabbed him on a fugitive from justice warrant. A fourth timer in Federal penitentiaries, Caies had evaded authorities since a ruse led to his escape from Charleston city jail on Aug 22, 1949. He fled to Mexico then, helped by a Communist cell, and has claimed a long Communist affiliation. Detectives say Caies was wounded by gangsters in St. Louis years ago and was in Cleveland on party business when captured.
