The search for the fugitives was

of the Federal Bureau of Investiga

After a sensational escape fmm
the Caledonia prison farm February
1.5, they allegislly blazed a trail of
fekmies aerosR ilm-state that eaiued
them the |•eJ>utati^>n of being North
Carolina's most sought fugitiv«'S.

lievisl cornered by officers, liiit on

ineoirect. At least three tinn'S he was
reported fatally woiimb'd in gun hatj.

“He seems to have a charmed life,”
Oscar Pitts, piist)n superinteiulent,
freijuently has ->aid.
Forty-one years eld, short and dark,
with gray eyes surroumbsl by deep,
black circles, Payne started his crime
career as a ytuilh, graduating from
p<dty larceny and stick-ups to big-
hanl bunk robberies?
His last sentence in P.tiU, was a
20 to 2.5 year term for bank roblH'iy
in Forsyth county.
Turner is .'bt y«'ars old, sluut and
dark. A native” of .Marion, he has
servini prison terms from McDowell,
Richmond and Randolph counties. He
wa.s last sentenctMi, in 1034, to 2.3
years for bank robbei y.
Five other oinvicts broke with them
from Caledoniii. Tjiey kidnaped two
fwiiron officials, coniinamieere<l a
laumiry truck, stole another car an'd
kidnaped its drivj>r, ami racc<T 4tl0'
miles through eastern .North CaroHna,
slipiiing through a net of more than
200 officers.
They released the hostages in dark

Sheriff I.auience E. Brown of Bun-
comW county reported several days |
later he had foumi a car useti by the
killers. In the machine, he sai?!, were
fingerprints of Payne and Turner.
Shortly thsaiafter, a young Swan?

man kidna|H’d them and forced them
to drive him from Asheville to Thom-
a.svillc. They idimtifivd- the man as

the untreated seed averaged 358
stalks. It was furthr noted upon ex
amination of the plants that no in
jury occurred to the plants due to
dust treatment. The roots of the
treated plans were longer and health?
ier looking while the plants on un-^
treated plot had>dark spots, some rot-I
ted off, and were shorter as a rule. |
Following this demonstration until!
harvesting periodr-w^e found on Sep-
temb<‘r 13th there were 147 stalks on
treated" plot per 100 feet as compar
ed to 132 stalks on untreated, or an
increase of 1.5 .stalks “per 100“ Teet
in favor of treated seed. As. to boll
count, we found 722 bolls per 100
feet treated seed, and 562 bolls for
untreated seed. Figuring the.se results
treated section produced 827 pounds*
while the untreated section produced
600 pound^ per acre.
Mr. Adams’ demonstration showed
similar results, with 117 stalks per
lOO feet on the treated section, and
100 -stalks on the untreated section at
harvesting time. There 647 bolls per
100 feet on treated section, arid 652' ,
bills per 100 feet on untreatid section. -
Or in terms of seed cotton. 1356
pounds from treated section, and 1157

_From reliable information, it wa.*?
shown that Laurens county wa.s
among the large.st u.sers of cereMn

that 50 per cent of the 1937 cotton
