MURDER SUSPECTS CAUGHT IN IDAHO

Roanoke, Ala.

Officers in Caldwell, Idaho report the arrest there of Ralph and Ray 
Williams, sought by local officers for the murder of Guy Yates, Roanoke taxi 
operator, on the night of July 20, about two miles west of Roanoke. Officers 
state that Ralph, under the alias of Jerry Keeble, was arrested on a minor 
charge but was later identified by finger prints as one of the wanted 
youths. His brother Ray was arrested Thursday night in a neighboring town. 
Idaho officers reported a confession from Ralph.

Randolph county Sheriff Grover B. Payne and Roanoke Policeman Frank 
Satterwhite left for Montgomery on Friday to secure requisition papers and 
from there will go to Idaho to return the prisoners for action by Randolph 
county courts.

The finding of the body of Yates just before midnight on July 20 shocked 
this section, as he was well liked. He is survived by his widow and a small 
son. The disappearance of the Williams twins at the same time caused 
suspicion to be directed toward them and officers have continued a search 
for them ever since.
