DESPERADOES’ CAR
IS RECOVERED HERE
Police Think Insane Asylum
Escapes May Be Hiding
in Vicinity.
An automobile believed to have
been used by some or all of the seven
criminals who escaped from the State
Hospital for the Insane at Raleigh
early Wednesday haa been located
here and is being held for Identifica
tion, Chief of Police J. H. Langston
said today. The car was found on
Vance street, on the eastern out
skirts of the city Thursday afternoon,
and the motor was still warm as
though it had only recently been
abandoned when found.
The police Identified the car by
communicating with the automobile
license bureau in Raleigh as belong
ing to Eugene Wilson, but at that
time the theft of Mr. Wilson’s car had
not been learned at the automobile
bureau. It later developed that Wil
son’s car had been stolen about the
time the desperado gang got away
from Dix Hill.
When found the car was short a
tire, and it had apparently been driv
en some distance on the rim of the
wheel before being abandoned.
Chief Langston said a colored man
who operates or works at a filling
station in Warren county had identi
fied the car as the one diiven bv a
gang who obtained gasoline at his
place earlier in the day, and jumped
in and drovo off without paying for
it. He is said to have stated that
the men in the car were apparently
sunburned or of a deep brunette com
plexion.
The police chief believes the men
may be hiding somewhere in the vi
cinity of Henderson, and are on the
lookout for them.
All of the escaped seven are des
cribed as desperadoes. Two of them
had been convicted of murder and
sent to State Prison and one of them
had been commuted for a death sen
tence.

PLACED ON TRUCK 2
A new electric siren has been plac
ed on fire truck No. 2 of the city’s
fire fighting equipment, displacing an
old hand operating one, by Fire Chief
E. T. Shepherd. The new horn is
much louder than the older one and
much easier to operate, giving the
firemen two hands with which to
cling to the truck as it rushes to a
fire. A button on the floor board of
the driver’s seat is the switch for the
new siren.
