Two Greenville Convicts Taken By Local Law (By MRS. A. H. COUNTS) Two Greenville County convicts were lodged in the Newberry County jail Wednesday but not until after one of them had lead officers and others along a rug ged route for some seven or eight miles into the Deadfall sec tion near Silverstreet. The two men, Willie Caldwell and James Crawford, who had escaped from a Greenville gang Monday, are being held in the robbing of a grocery store, two garages and a cafe at Prosper- itv Tuesday night, apparently in search of money. They obtained about $30 at one place and net ted smaller amounts at the others. Sheriff Fellers and his force were notified Wednesday morning of the robberies and the men were soon seen in a Newberry store buying clothes where one was ap prehended and the other fled. His route circled one section of the city and then went into the country. While the sheriff and police forces, state highway patrolmen and Buddy Laval, in charge of two bloodhounds from the State Law Enforcement Division, searched the area, E manager of the local airport, and Deputy Sheriff L. L. Henderson flew over the area for over an hour. The hunted man was aware that the plane was searching for him and hid under some honey suckle vines. However, he was unaware of the bloodhounds who lead officers to him. Sheriff Fellers was high in his praise today of the splendid co operation rendered by the local radio station which broadcast an alert message, the Newberry Police Department, the local airport, the state law enforcement division, highway patrolmen and his own men who aided in the search and capture of the escaped convicts.
