Fruitless Hunt for Williamson Across Chesterfield County
A vigorous but fruitless search was mounted Sunday night and Monday morning in Chesterfield for Junius A. Williamson, the alleged forger and bigamist who escaped from Petersburg jail. Chief Ragland led the effort with bloodhounds from Suffolk, aided by Williams and Tibbs who provided details on Williamson’s escape and plans. The pursuit, aided by Tibbs’ statements, traced a route to Centralia and a possible meeting near the Normal and Industrial Institute, but ended without the fugitive, now believed to be near Richmond seeking relatives and a sick child. Williams and Tibbs are jailed for aiding Williamson’s escape.
