Oxford, N.C., Oct. 6 (AP)—Five convicts were still at large today as the result of a sensational break for freedom by 16 prisoners at the Granville County road camp near here Monday.
The men held up the guards while they were being assembled for the day’s work, and left them helpless while they made their getaway.
The alarm was spread shortly after the delivery, and a dragnet spread over the county, resulting in the capture of one man and the voluntary surrender of 12 others.
