Chief Claims Escaped Convicts Not In This Section Now
Chief W G Friddle said reports on seven escaping convicts from Caledonia RO camp are absent and he believes the fugitives are not in the area. He questioned whether an abandoned automobile found near Asheboro road was planted to mislead investigators and noted a lack of usual wild tips. Walter L Williard of Raleigh and an insurance adjuster reported convicts released him and promised funds for new clothes, with one convict later returning 60 cents from his pocket. The car remained at police HQ after being found Tuesday morning.
