SUPPOSED OUTLAW IN GREEN1VILLE Captured at Cotton Mill Village and Placed In County Jail. Much Money on Deposit. Greenville, Mar. 26.--Suspected of being one of the three outlaws who held up a Queen & Cresent passenger train twelve miles north of Birming ham on the night of February 19th and robbed the mail pouches of reg istered packages said to contain $70, 000, John Radliff, aged 36, was ar rested today while at work in the Woodside cotton Mills where he has been employed for the past week. A search of Radliff's trunk today revealed that he had on deposit in 6he Norwood National Bank of Greenville the sum of $18,000 or more, and that he also had on deposit in an Atlanta bank a sum amounting to approxim ately $8,000. Except for five or six dollars which he had on his person, Radliff had no other cash in his room. In his trunk was also found a' shot gun, besides a lot of clothing. The trunk was found in a room at Frier's boarding house near Brandon cotton mills, where Radliff had boarded since coming to Greenville on Friday, March 13th. Nothing was known of Radliff in Greenville and vicinity before he came here on March 13th. He was looked upon as peculiar by the residents of Brandon and Woodside mills, but other than this no suspicion was aroused among the mill operatives. He seemed to be a quiet and unob trusive sort of a man it is stated. The suspect was arrested by Depu ty W. D. Howard of Woodside mills, following an extensive investigation here by railway detectives, who have been secretly working on the case in this city for the past few days. There are two other suspects impli to have information which will re sult in tiier apprehension before nightfall. Was Working in Mill. Radliff was arrested this morning about 9 o'clock while at work in the slashing room of the Wodside mills, for which received wages of $1 per day. Deputy Howard approached him and quickly covered him with a re volver. He submitted to arrest and was led from the mill and turned over to Dectective Miller of the Southern raliway, who awaited the lirisoner outside. The detective was unwilling to risk the chance of taking the suspect to the Greenville jail by himself, so he called on Deputy Howard and the two carride Radliff to the city police sta tion where he is being held pending a further investigation. Radliff denied having any connec tjon with the hold-ui) and robbery of the Queen & Cresent train in Alaba ma, but acknowledges that he was ar rested and convicted several years ago for a similar offense. Ie talks in a very excited manner and his ac iions are peculair. The detectives appear confident that they have the right man and are now close on the trail of tihe other two men who are sid to be implicated in the robbery. Deputy W. D. Howard, of Wood aide mills, who was detailed by the detectives to make the arrest, stated today that lie looked upon 'Rladliff as a suspicious character when he first oamne to his house at Woodside mills and asked to get board, lie was giv es dinner at Mr. Howard's home that day, lbut did not return afterwards, te~ter securing beard at Frier's board 4ag house near. Brandon mill. "When lhe got readly to leave lhe ask ed my wife what ho owed her for the dinner, as lie was undecided as to 'h~ethler or not ho would stay at 1Woodside," said Mr. Howard. "lie pUlled out a roll of paper money as large as 'your forearm and asked my wife to change $10. S'he isold him ehe had no change and lhe then pulled out some small change. "While eating dinner lhe remiarked 4Gat hie was possibly the wealthiest boarder that we had ever had, and -That we ought to see hisa trunk if we really wanted to see seome money. "His trunk -was not delivered at our house. I never saw Radliff again except in going to and from his work at the mill, and until I was calleed upon for assistance by the railway detectives I never thought to iniquire 'where lie was staying. I know ho, 1ras boarding out from the Woodside village because he carried a meal hue kat each (lay.' "Yestortjay morning Detective Mil Ior of thle Southern railway came toI me and asked that I help locate a cor Italn person for him and from the des cription he gave I knew quite sure it was Rodliff, so went to work at once to find where ho was staying. When the mill shut down yesterday afternoon for the day, I got a boy to follow Radoliff and get the number of house where he was staying. I did not go myself for fear -that Radliff mnight suspect something. The boy stold me that Rladeliff entered the Prier's boarding house." "This morning the detectives came to me and akewd me ot go with timm to get Radliff as they had a warrant to seach his premises. They suggested that all the detectives, about four or five in number go with them I thought two would be sufficient. So Detective Miller, who works on the Greenville Spartanburg division of the South ern railway, and I got ready to make the arrest. Sheriff Rector was away at the time and could not be found to go with us. "I went to where Radliff was work ing and said, 'consider yourself un dor arrest; at the same time cover ing him with my gun. He did not resist but attempted to deny the ac cusation at first, when informed by the detective that he was the bandit, who with a party of two other men, held up the Queen & Cresent train north of Alabama and robbed mail pouches of registered mail valued at anywhere from forty to seventy thou sand dollars." Neat Appearance. 'Radcliff is a man of nice appearance buing about 36 years o f age and weighing about155 pounds. He 'is low and of heavy build. le has light coin plection but dark hair. Tho railway detectives carried their prisoner to the city police station thi! morning after the arrest and insttluc ted the desk sergeant not to permit anybody to see or talk to Radcliff. A reporter for the Daily Piedmont madc an effort to see the suspected bandit immediately after his incarceration but his efforts were futile. Ofilcer Martin Bridges who was act ing in the capacity of desk sergeant at the time Radliff was incarcerate( stated that the detectives were ex plicit in their instructions and that as a matter of courtesy he would not permit anybody to see the accused man. Captain Gilreath and Desk Ser geant Thomson were in the chief' ofilee when the reporter asked for per mission to see Radliff, and they, too were adverse to an interview sinc( the detectives had requested that all outsiders be excluded. Offieer Bridges later consented t( an interview provided the detective: would give their consent.-Greenvill( Piedmont. Straight at It. There*is no use of our "heating around the bush."
