MRS. PATTON AIDED
IN CAPTURING ONE
After their reported efforts to
rob J. L. Johnson, of Orangeburg,
S. C., of more than $3,000 on the
Dixie highway near Hot Springs,
in Madison county, had been
thwarted, three men who admitted
they were rum runners and that
their homes were in the north,
were lodgeil in Transylvania coun
ty jail Tuesday following their ar
rest in Cedar Mountain vicinity
and at I'isgah Forest.'
Two of the men, James Prine,
31, of Toledo, Ohio, and Arche
McPliail, 25, of Hammond, Ind.,
were captured after a posse head
ed by Sheriff T. E. Patton, Jr., of
Transylvania county, had fired a
hail of lead at a high powered au
tomobile in which this pair and
two others were making a frantic
effort to escape Tuesday after
noon, less than five hours after
the reported attempt at robbery
by the quartet.
third man ARRESTED
liato Tuesday night a third
member of the party, Richard
Cloud, 24, of Indianapolis, Ind.,
was arrested at Pisgah'Forest. He
appeared at the home of Sheriff
Patton and sought shelter for the
night. Mrs. Patton, wife of the
sheriff, worked a ruse by direct
ing Cloud to a nearby residence.
Meanwhile, she communicated
with authorities and this resultcfl
in the arrest of the third woulci-be
robber.
A fourth man was still being
sought late Wednesday. Sheriff
Patton and about fifteen posseinen
scoured the entire lower end of
the county for the fugitive all
night Tuesday without avail. Sher
iff Patton said V/ednesday at
noon, however, that he believed
the missing man had only tempor-'
arily escaped and that he would be
caught shortly.
ADMIT RUM RUNNING
The two men first taken told of
ficers they had not helped hold up
anyone anywhere, but were- rum
runners, and that explained the
