$1.50 A YEAR
Law enforcement officers are
| continuing their joint search for
I a man who has been identified
as Jimmy Wynn, of Memphis,
Tenn., in connection with the
$1,500 robbery at the LaFayette
Coca-Cola Plant early Saturday
morning, Summerville city police
have disclosed.
The alleged robber escaped
into a dense wooded area ap~
1 proximately one mile south of
1 Summerville at 2 a. m. Saturday,
■ following a hand-to-hand gun
■ battle in which he and his com
> panion, identified as ex-convict
James R. Manners, of Bruns
i wick, engaged with Summerville
1 city police.
At the scene of the shooting
[ encounter, Wynn took Police Of
ficer Jim Allen’s gun and the
two men escaped. Allen and his
[ colleague, Policeman W. G. Tal
! I lent, came back into town and
notified other law officials. In
! approximately 30 minutes, Man
ners was captured on the streets
iof Summerville by Allen, who
used an empty shotgun to arrest
the ex-convict.
‘lt is believed that Mar. ers
came back to steal a car,” A en
said. “He didn’t realize we v me
Summerville city police, but rr>-
; stead thought we were state pa
trolmen, and presumed that we
had gone in another direction to
seek help.”
The man who is allegedly
Wynn, is believed to have been
seen at Holland, Cedar Bluff, Ala.
and Rome, Ga., on Saturday, it
has been disclosed. He was last
thought to be seen at Rome,
where he is supposed to have
gone to the Railway Express Of
fice and expressed some money.
Sui i. olice -pincers
Allen and Tallent trailed the car
driven by the robbers as it pass
ed through Summerville, “be
cause of their suspicious ac
tions,” Allen stated. The stolen
1941 Ford was overtaken one
mile south of Summerville on
Highway 27, where it was forced
into a ditch.
After the encounter, the two
- men ran into the woods and
- waited until they thought the of
ficers had gone. They then re
turned to the car and unloaded
i some dynamite, nitroglycerin.
■ checks and war and savings
bonds made out to R. A. Ward
law, Sr., owner of the LaFayette
Coca-Cola Plamt. At the same
time, Allen was hiding in a
nearby culvert, watching the
scene. The equipment and mon
ey was hidden in a field, but
was recovered after Manners w r as
arrested.
Manners, who is held on a
charge of attempting to murder,
illegal possession of a pistol, re
sisting an officer, and illegal pos
session of nitroclycerine, dyna
mite arid other burglary equip
ment, was taken to the Walker
, County jail, LaFayette, Monday,
’ where various citizens of the city
i will .seek to identify him as “the
suspicious looking character”
seen in LaFayette for several
| days prior to the rohbery.
He w r ill be returned to the
! Chattooga County jail shortly,
and is scheduled to be tried here
on Feb. 2, before again being
turned over to the Walker Coun
j ty law officers.
James R. Manners was remov
!ed Tuesday from the Walker
: County jail to Fulton Towers, At
lanta, “for safe keeping,” accord
i ing to official sources here.
He will be kept in Atlanta un
-1 til he faces trial in Chattooga
