Man Hunted
AS Killer Is
Found I'm Ca.

MOULTRIE, Ga. H-A Negro
ex-convict pursued by men with
bloodhoundS as the throat-cutting
killer of four was taken in a swamp
last night and hustled to the state
prison for safekeeping.
He is Tom Williams, IS, paroled
in 1949 from a life murder term
and now charged with a mad two
day carnage which in addition to
the dead left two persons seriously
wounded.
One of the slain was former Col
quit County prison warden w. C.
Rowland, who personally appeared
before the parole board to obtain
the Negroes release from prison.
1t. w. E.. McDuffie of the Geor-
gia Bureau of Investigation, who
captured the killer, said Williams
admitted fatally slashing the 10
year-old Rowland and his wife,
Gladys, at their home Saturday
night. ~
The officer did not have an op-
portunity to question the Negro
about the similar deaths Of two
men who were shot, dubbed and
slashed at an all-night drive-in here
early Friday.
Sheriff Eddie Gordon said he had
ordered ballistics tests to link the
Negro with the Friday double MUIR
der.
The tests will be run, he ex-
planned, on bullet which was
fired into the head of one of the
DRIVEN victims and on rifle
found hidden among planks at a
sawmill near the house where the
Negro lived.
The capture of the Negro ended
three days Of terror in this south
Georgia farming center.
McDuffie said that Williams gave
up quietly with the bloodhounds all
but swapping at his heels. The OBI
officer and 1t. J. D. DeVane of
Valdosta police quickly showed the
Negro in the trunk of their car and
hurried him away. They were
afraid, they said, that there might
be violence if trigger happy" pos
semen learned of the capture.
The officers at the time would
say only that the prisoner was
being taken to a "Safe place. "
Later, it was learned that he was
lodged about a. m. in a fourth
floor death cell at the state prison
near Reidsville.

No Debates This Week For Candidates

Other Plans
Collins, in Jacksonville, said
that ever since the Miami debate
Johns "has sought only to grab
headlines and keep my schedule
uncertain" He said he would leave
it to the people to decide "who
came out worst in last Thursdays
appearance"
Collins added that Johns own
schedule shows he had no plans
for being in Miami next Thursday.
He said Johns has made plans to
be in Polk County and st. Peters
burg that day.
Johns yesterday sent Collins II
questions he said he would like
him to "answer for the people of
Florida"
"rwould like to have him answer
these questions to me personally, "
Johns said, ''but I will be salts
fled if he will answer them from
wherever he may be-"
Collins retorted that the ques-
tons were "phony" and had moth
ing to do with the real issues. This
tactic just proves his desperation. "
One of the questions, Collins
said, was whether Collins was a
member of the Ku Klux Khan. He
said that "makes no more sense
than for me to ask him (JohnS) if
he ever has been a Communist. "
To Speak At Leesburg
Although Johns and Collins will
not get together on another TV
program, the two candidates will
be on the same speaking program
