One Captured,TwoHnnted
After Wild Chase Here
A three-state search for two men who fled from police officers
in Trenton yesterday was still going strong today as local and
state police sought more information on the escapees. A search,
which started about 3:30 yesterday afternoon and continued until
almost sent Dade Fort and
Georgia State Police combing
woods and highways throughout
the county in an effort to lo¬
cate the two men who ran from
their auto after a 90-mile an
hour chase from Fort Payne.
Max Robertson, Chief of Fort
Payne’s Police Department, said
he chased the men from there
yesterday after they reportedly
took cigarettes from a store
there without paying for them.
The Fort Payne authorities
called ahead to Trenton and
told Sheriff Bill Lynch to head
the car off.
Lynch jumped the car here
and chased them through town
and up the road to Dade High
School. There the men ran off
the road and crashed into Mrs.
Grace Nethery’s barn after
which they fled to the woods be¬
hind the school house.
A third man, now being held
in the Dade County jail, told of¬
ficers that he was not connect¬
ed with the other men and that
he was just riding with them.
It was reported that the other
men are ex-convicts and police
officers are now checking on
their status as well as that of
the 1949 Ford sedan which they
were driving.
Starting immediately after
the car crashed yesterday, She-
riff Lynch, Chief Robertson, the
State Patrol and an assortment
of local citiztns organized a
search of nearby woods and
