SUPPOSED OUTLAW
IN GREEN1VILLE
Captured at Cotton Mill Village and
Placed In County Jail. Much Money
on Deposit.
Greenville, Mar. 26.--Suspected of
being one of the three outlaws who
held up a Queen & Cresent passenger
train twelve miles north of Birming
ham on the night of February 19th
and robbed the mail pouches of reg
istered packages said to contain $70,
000, John Radliff, aged 36, was ar
rested today while at work in the
Woodside cotton Mills where he has
been employed for the past week.
A search of Radliff's trunk today
revealed that he had on deposit in 6he
Norwood National Bank of Greenville
the sum of $18,000 or more, and that
he also had on deposit in an Atlanta
bank a sum amounting to approxim
ately $8,000. Except for five or six
dollars which he had on his person,
Radliff had no other cash in his room.
In his trunk was also found a' shot
gun, besides a lot of clothing. The
trunk was found in a room at Frier's
boarding house near Brandon cotton
mills, where Radliff had boarded
since coming to Greenville on Friday,
March 13th.
Nothing was known of Radliff in
Greenville and vicinity before he came
here on March 13th. He was looked
upon as peculiar by the residents of
Brandon and Woodside mills, but
other than this no suspicion was
aroused among the mill operatives.
He seemed to be a quiet and unob
trusive sort of a man it is stated.
The suspect was arrested by Depu
ty W. D. Howard of Woodside mills,
following an extensive investigation
here by railway detectives, who have
been secretly working on the case
in this city for the past few days.
There are two other suspects impli
to have information which will re
sult in tiier apprehension before
nightfall.
Was Working in Mill.
Radliff was arrested this morning
about 9 o'clock while at work in the
slashing room of the Wodside mills,
for which received wages of $1 per
day. Deputy Howard approached him
and quickly covered him with a re
volver. He submitted to arrest and
was led from the mill and turned over
to Dectective Miller of the Southern
raliway, who awaited the lirisoner
outside.
The detective was unwilling to risk
the chance of taking the suspect to
the Greenville jail by himself, so he
called on Deputy Howard and the two
carride Radliff to the city police sta
tion where he is being held pending
a further investigation.
Radliff denied having any connec
tjon with the hold-ui) and robbery of
the Queen & Cresent train in Alaba
ma, but acknowledges that he was ar
rested and convicted several years
ago for a similar offense. Ie talks
in a very excited manner and his ac
iions are peculair. The detectives
appear confident that they have the
right man and are now close on the
trail of tihe other two men who are
sid to be implicated in the robbery.
Deputy W. D. Howard, of Wood
aide mills, who was detailed by the
detectives to make the arrest, stated
today that lie looked upon 'Rladliff as
a suspicious character when he first
oamne to his house at Woodside mills
and asked to get board, lie was giv
es dinner at Mr. Howard's home that
day, lbut did not return afterwards,
te~ter securing beard at Frier's board
4ag house near. Brandon mill.
"When lhe got readly to leave lhe ask
ed my wife what ho owed her for the
dinner, as lie was undecided as to
'h~ethler or not ho would stay at
1Woodside," said Mr. Howard. "lie
pUlled out a roll of paper money as
large as 'your forearm and asked my
wife to change $10. S'he isold him
ehe had no change and lhe then pulled
out some small change.
"While eating dinner lhe remiarked
4Gat hie was possibly the wealthiest
boarder that we had ever had, and
-That we ought to see hisa trunk if we
really wanted to see seome money.
"His trunk -was not delivered at
our house. I never saw Radliff again
except in going to and from his work
at the mill, and until I was calleed
upon for assistance by the railway
detectives I never thought to iniquire
'where lie was staying. I know ho,
1ras boarding out from the Woodside
village because he carried a meal hue
kat each (lay.'
"Yestortjay morning Detective Mil
Ior of thle Southern railway came toI
me and asked that I help locate a cor
Italn person for him and from the des
cription he gave I knew quite sure
it was Rodliff, so went to work at
once to find where ho was staying.
When the mill shut down yesterday
afternoon for the day, I got a boy to
follow Radoliff and get the number of
house where he was staying. I did
not go myself for fear -that Radliff
mnight suspect something. The boy
stold me that Rladeliff entered the
Prier's boarding house."
"This morning the detectives came
to me and akewd me ot go with timm
to get Radliff as they had a warrant
to seach his premises. They suggested
that all the detectives, about four or
five in number go with them I thought
two would be sufficient. So Detective
Miller, who works on the Greenville
Spartanburg division of the South
ern railway, and I got ready to make
the arrest. Sheriff Rector was away
at the time and could not be found
to go with us.
"I went to where Radliff was work
ing and said, 'consider yourself un
dor arrest; at the same time cover
ing him with my gun. He did not
resist but attempted to deny the ac
cusation at first, when informed by
the detective that he was the bandit,
who with a party of two other men,
held up the Queen & Cresent train
north of Alabama and robbed mail
pouches of registered mail valued at
anywhere from forty to seventy thou
sand dollars."
Neat Appearance.
'Radcliff is a man of nice appearance
buing about 36 years o f age and
weighing about155 pounds. He 'is low
and of heavy build. le has light coin
plection but dark hair.
Tho railway detectives carried their
prisoner to the city police station thi!
morning after the arrest and insttluc
ted the desk sergeant not to permit
anybody to see or talk to Radcliff. A
reporter for the Daily Piedmont madc
an effort to see the suspected bandit
immediately after his incarceration
but his efforts were futile.
Ofilcer Martin Bridges who was act
ing in the capacity of desk sergeant
at the time Radliff was incarcerate(
stated that the detectives were ex
plicit in their instructions and that
as a matter of courtesy he would not
permit anybody to see the accused
man. Captain Gilreath and Desk Ser
geant Thomson were in the chief'
ofilee when the reporter asked for per
mission to see Radliff, and they, too
were adverse to an interview sinc(
the detectives had requested that all
outsiders be excluded.
Offieer Bridges later consented t(
an interview provided the detective:
would give their consent.-Greenvill(
