STUDENT TRIPS NEGRO
SENTENCED TO RUNG
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga., July 24,—
Genus Cofield, a negro about fifty
five years" old, under sentence to hang
for the murder of his nephew, Wey
man Cofield, in the courtroom hfere
last March, and who escaped from
the jail here in the latter part of
May, was recaptured at Hogansville
late Saturday and returned to the
jail here Sunday. He was originally
sentenced to hang April 5. It is
presumed he will be resentenced at
V, an early date.
His capture was brought about by
Harry Redwine, a student at Tech
and the son of W. W. Redwine, of
Redwine Brothers Cotton company,
of Atlanta and Fayetteville. Young
Redwine late Saturday was return¬
ing on a truck from LaGrange, where
he had taken some cotton when a
negro .. waved him down.” He did not
stop But the negro swung onto the
truck anyhow. Mr. Redwine recog¬
nized him, but did not let him know
it. When he got to Hogansville he
told the negro that he was going
into a drug store to get a cigar. He
got the town marshal to put Cofield
under arrest.
Mr. Redwine notified Sheriff Kerlin
Sunday morning and the negro was
brought here. Young Redwine thus
‘ ’came into some nice vacation money
in the form of a reword of 5200
offered by the governor for Cofleld’s
apprehension.
