Search continues Michener
for fugitive killers sails with
United Press International
WARRENTON, N.C. — Weary
manhunters raced around the coun
tryside near the Virginia-North Car
olina border Monday checking out
reported sightings of four fugitive
killers from Virginia’s death row,
but came up empty-handed.
The latest reported sighting was
in Roanoke Rapids, about 20 miles
northwest of Warrenton. A woman
told authorities a man in a prison
guard’s uniform tried to break into
her house.
“We’ve sent a helicopter and a
couple of agents over there to talk to
people about that incident,” said
manhunt spokesman Russ
Edmonston. “It’s another lead that
we re investigating.
The most intense search for the
fohr death row fugitives, including
the feared brothers Linwood and
James Briley, was around Paschall, a
rural community on the Virginia-
North Carolina border.
“This is the last place they were
seen,” Edmonston said. “It’s the
most productive spot that we’ve got.
We’re working on the premise that
there is a subject in there.”
But Max Powell, another man
hunt spokesman, said searchers in
the Paschall area felt that “right now,
it’s kind of a cool trail.”
Earlier Monday, 15-year-old
Clara Wilson saw two men who
looked like the infamous Briley
brothers running near the Biyacey,
Va., campground her parents man
aged.
But searchers, aided by a heli
copter and two airplines, investi
gated Wilson’s report and found
nothing.
Later police were then dispatched
to the scene of another possible
sighting 10 miles west near Phyllis,
Va., where Donald Payne, 13, said
he saw a black man with a blue shirt
leaning against a tree.
Authorities also investigated a re
ported sighting 150 miles south near
Spencer, N.C.
Lem Tuggle, Willie Jones and the
Brileys were among six inmates who
fled from the suposedly escape-
proof death row at Virginia’s Meck
lenburg Correctional Facility Thurs
day night. Two others were cap
tured Friday afternoon in a
Warrenton laundromat.
Sixteen prison employees were
placed on administrative leave for
the duration of an investigation into
the daring escape — the largest
death row breakout in U.S. history.
Edmonston insisted searchers
were not discouraged.
“These things take time. I’ve talked
to several people who have been
through searches before and it can
take days. We’ll go until we can’t go
any farther.”
Powell said “there is some indica
tion” the inmates may have left the
Warrenton area, where the search

Brileys were among six inmates who

Capt. Ed Haupl of the Rowan
County Sheriffs Department said a
search was launched near Spencer,
in the center of North Carolina, af
ter a sheriffs deputy reported a
“suspected sighting” of Tuggle
around 3:30 a.m. Monday.
Haupt said the deputy passed a
man fitting the description of Tug
gle standing beside the road. The
man was gone when the officer re
turned.

Penny-per-worm hike called for
Worm diggers remain on strike
United Press International
WISCASSET, Maine — A month
long strike by hundreds of worm
diggers who supply fishing bait on
East Coast has no chance of succeed
ing unless demand picks up later this
month as expected, diggers said
Monday.
Sandworm diggers are now paid 4
cents for each slithery creature they
scoop from mud flats at low tide
along inlets on the Maine coast. The
sandworm diggers want a penny-
per-worm hike to 5 cents apiece.
Further up the Maine coast,
bloodworm diggers in Washington
and Hancock counties are also on
strike. The bloodworm diggers are
paid up to 7 cents a piece for their
worms but want 8 cents per worm.
Worm digging is a $4 million in
dustry in Maine but prices to diggers
have remained unchanged since
1978. The worms are used as bait for
recreational salt water fisherman.
An estimated 200 Maine worm
diggers are involved in the strike,
now a month old. But enough dig
gers are still working to keep those
on strike from getting their de
mands from dealers.
Maine is the primary commercial
supplier of bloodworms and sand-
worms, which are dug in two sec
tions of Maine: in Lincoln County in
the mid-coast area and in the two
eastern most counties of Hancock
and Washington.
sandworms,” said Flye, who ships
wholesale markets from New Half
shire to South Carolina. Some art
shipped to California.
“But so far, I don’t think the vd
ume has been reduced 10 percen;
he said.
‘For a strike to be effective
on the digger level, it has
got to practically stop the
sale of bloodworms and
sandworms. 9
Both shippers and diggers agrff
the situation will remain deadlock
until late June when demand es
peels to pick up heading towardll*
Independence Day weekend. Unii
then, the shippers have no incenii' 1
to pay a higher wage.
Sandworm diggers in Lincoln
County are striking but sandworm
diggers in the eastern flats are not.
The bloodworm diggers in the east
ern flats are striking but not their
counterparts in Lincoln County.
As a result, the shippers are still
getting enough supply of the worms
to meet current demand, said worm
dealer Ivan Flye of Newcastle.
“For a strike to be effective on the
digger level, it has got to practically
stop the sale of bloodworms and
“I can’t pay the increase, thetf
fore I can’t buy them, and the
gers won’t dig them unless theygf 1
an increase,” Flye said. “It’s going' 1
be a stalemate here unless the
gers throw in the towel and goto!
to work.”
“I’m hopeful that sooner or
if the market gets better and
mand gets better, they’ll give usil f
money,” said full-time sandwort
digger David Lemar of Dresden.
The worm diggers are loosely of
ganized, but are not unionized.
