Farmer's Tip Led to Ross Arrest in Baltimore
Edward Duvall, a tobacco farmer, tipped off Maryland authorities after recognizing George Francis Ross from a ride he gave the fugitive. Ross, wanted for the Cleveland police killing of Officer Haas, was captured near Glen Burnie after a weeklong manhunt. He faced U.S. Commissioner Ernest Volkart in Baltimore with bail set at $30,000 and likely extradition to Ohio.
