Smuggled Saw Blades Bring Prison Terms
Two 19 year old women Eula Parker and Joan Jennings pleaded guilty in Superior court to a felony smuggling charge for attempting to deliver hacksaw blades inside a pie to the Jennings brothers. Judge Robert S. Landers imposed two year sentences recommended by County Attorney Warren Crane. The plot was uncovered after jailer Bennie Wallis found a pecan pie with four blade pieces hidden between cardboard plates. The women were arrested at Union Bus station after fleeing the jail area. They were arraigned and opted to transfer to Superior court for plea improvement. The Jennings brothers are jailed on a separate robbery case involving Mrs. Ludwig.
