J Mccall then returned to the
/ Chambers house, he said, got a
ransom note. which he had prepar-
ed previously and took it to the
shack of John Emmanuel, ne
gro, who lived in the negro sec
ton below Chambers home on
Tallahassee road. Disgusting his
voice, he instructed the negro to
deliver the note to Cash ID
He returned to Chambers
house and waited for the negro
to pass, by. When he did NOV APP
pear, Mccall wrote another note
on a piece of wrapping paper and
took it to the home of w. P. Cash,
the boys uncle. He returned
again to the Chambers house, and
a short while later heard several
automobiles roaring down Talla-
hassee road. u
Mccall said he ran out and
tagged one, joining the searchers.
He was present when the first
note was found at the negro's
shack and remained with the
searching parties all night.
/ He continued with the search
ing parties the following day
Sunday-and Monday wrote the
third note. He went to house
across the street from the Cash
home, and watched the dead boys
/ father leave on his first unsuccess-
full trip into the "Redlands" to
contact the "kidnapers."
While he was gone, Mccall
mingled with others around the
q house. After Cash came back he
slipped the ransom note under
the door and returned to the
house across the street. When the
note remained unnoticed, Mccall
went to the Cash filling station,
operated by Harry Wright, and
was with Wright when he discov-
cred the note Mccall had slipped
under the door.
! He and Wright read the note,
and telephoned cousin of the
missing boy at Homestead, a few
miles away. Meanwhile the father
had returned from his frultless
trip, and Immediately started out
again.
The zig-zag route Cash was in
structed to follow through the
| Redlands apparently was to give
Mccall time to get to the appoint
ed place for the rendezvous,
where he received the $4,000
ransom money. He said they did
not exchange any words, and
Cash did not see his face.
Cash followed the same zig-zag
route home, and Mccall mean
while unwrapped the money, took
out $3.50 and went into an or
chard near the Chambers home,
where he dropped the rest of the
bills. On his way back to the Cash
place, he burned the ransom
notes he had instructed Cash to
leave in the shoe-box with the
money. .-arcr -
By dawn he was back at the
house across the street from
Cash's home, ready to join the
searchers again.
Sheriff D. C. Coleman, who
was credited with the break in the
case, became suspicious of Nc
Calls movements and his re-
marks, and arrested him. Later ne
