In the 1960s, a suspect could be held on “suspicion” for up to two days before formal charges were filed. Sergeant Copeland incarcerated Crum and lobbied the Chief of Police to keep Crum locked up while he continued to investigate the case.
Little did Crum know, had he not escaped, he possibly would have been released later that day.
The Wilmington Fire Department and Wilmington Police Department were housed together in City Hall at the time of the Crum escape.
“Everett Crum put a gun in my chest, stole my revolver, locked me in this cell, and just ran out the side door. ‘Let me out!’” Officer Jones yelled at firefighter Dwight Winkle, who obtained a large, metal key from the front of the Police Department and freed Jones.
Within minutes, law enforcement officers from throughout Clinton County arrived at the City Police Department.
Crum’s younger sister, who had visited Crum before his escape, was still milling around outside near City Hall after the escape. She was arrested on suspicion of smuggling Crum the gun used for his getaway.
“All Clinton County units,” the radio dispatcher began breathlessly. “A shooting of a police officer has just occurred in Lynchburg.” The time was 11:30 p.m. and the date was February 18, 1960.
Lynchburg patrol officer Ernest Wilson, who was cruising the village with his father-in-law, Deputy Harold “Windy” Shaffer, noticed a man walking down a nearby alley. The man then darted between two houses. Within seconds, the man whirled and began shooting.
The first shot struck the spotlight on the police cruiser. The second shot hit Wilson in the right side of his head. Another shot brushed Wilson’s abdomen. Deputy Shaffer was grazed. Shaffer returned fire at the fleeing suspect, but the bullets missed the man.
The man, Everett D. Crum, was still-at-large.
The next day Crum showed up in Hillsboro, into the unsuspecting presence of funeral director, Hope Miller.
“Take my car. I don’t want to go. You can have the car,” Miller replied, visibly shaken.
Obligingly, Crum took the station wagon and fled again. Several hours later, law enforcement officers found Crum’s footprints in a snowy field in Fairview, a crossroads west of Hillsboro.
Unfortunately, when the field was searched, Crum was not there. Six hours later, Crum’s footprints were found at the Highland County Fairgrounds.
“I think Crum is headed east on the railroad tracks,” an informant told police. Hillsboro Police Sergeants Robert Martin and Willard Parr rushed to a footpath and hid quietly on a bankside along the B & O Railroad tracks.
Within minutes they heard a rustle along the tracks. The person walking along the railway evidently had seen the officers. Shots rang out at the police officers. Sergeants Martin and Parr returned fire down the dark tracks.
Sergeant Martin’s flashlight caught Crum’s face for an instant. After a brief exchange, Crum ran somewhere south in the dark, and then turned east.
According to Crum’s later account, he had slept in a church in Hillsboro Friday night. He said although the officers had surrounded him, he crawled up underneath the drive shaft of a milk truck and hid.
“I could have reached out and touched 12 different guys at once,” Crum said. “I had nothing to eat since I broke out of the Wilmington jail, except for two cups of coffee and some jelly, which I got at a home I broke into Thursday night near Allensburg outside Hillsboro. I spent that night in the attic hiding behind a chimney,” Crum added.
Saturday was the day Everett Crum planned to make his final escape from Southwest Ohio. He would be free, once and for all — or so he thought.
With that thought in mind, Crum drove to Manchester, Ohio, a scenic town on the Ohio River just a few miles down river from Ripley.
Wilbur Trotter, grocer and former mayor of Manchester, and his son-in-law, William Shelton, were in the wrong place at the wrong time. As time would show, so was Crum.
Crum, who had commandeered several vehicles and kidnapped numerous people within the last two days, did it again in Manchester by leaping into Trotter’s car.
“Come on boys, let’s take a ride!” Crum lightheartedly told the two men. Perhaps he would have been less whimsical if he had known what lay in store for him a few miles up the road. “Let’s go up to Cherry Fork,” Crum said, as he pushed his loaded gun against the back of Trotter’s ear.
After cruising the Adams County countryside for a few hours, Crum and the hostages turned onto State Route 136, and entered the farming hamlet of Cherry Fork, home to 200 people.
Something wasn’t right thought Crum, but it was too late. He had ridden directly into a police roadblock. Within seconds, police completely surrounded the car.
Striking taxi drivers in France blocked key roads and set fire to tires on a "black Tuesday" that saw simultaneous strikes by air traffic controllers, civil servants, hospital workers and teachers.
Some 300 taxi drivers furious over competition from non-licensed private hire cabs blocked the capital's ring road at a key intersection in the west of the city, lighting fires and throwing smoke bombs.
"Today our survival is at stake, we are fed up of meetings and negotiations," said Ibrahima Sylla, spokesman of the Taxis de France collective.
Nineteen protesters were arrested, police said.
Police said a total of 1,200 taxi drivers were protesting in various parts of Paris, while their colleagues also disrupted traffic in Toulouse, northern Lille and southern Marseille.
They are seeking compensation for business lost to taxi app company Uber and similar firms.
Despite a year-old ban on the low-cost UberPOP service, taxi dispatchers in Paris say business has shrunk 20 to 30 percent.
Uber continued to run UberPOP service in France for several months following the ban, leading to a spate of violent protests by taxi unions in June.
The San Francisco-based company finally shut down UberPOP in July after two of its French bosses were arrested and charged with "misleading commercial practices (and) complicity in the illegal exercise of the taxi profession."
Meanwhile, due to a trike by air traffic controllers over pay and conditions, one in five flights were canceled in and out of Orly airport, south of Paris, as well as Paris' main Charles de Gaulle airport. At Orly, one protester was injured in the leg when a shuttle bus forced its way through a blockade. Police said the bus driver was arrested.
Air France had said it would operate all of its long-haul flights and more than 80 percent of its short- and medium-haul flights in France and elsewhere in Europe, but that "last-minute delays or cancelations cannot be ruled out."
Noting that the controllers' strike coincided with the taxi drivers' action, the airline warned its passengers that access to the Paris airports, as well as those of Toulouse and Bordeaux in the southwest and Marseille in the south, could be "greatly disrupted."
Budget airline EasyJet said it had canceled 35 flights, mainly within France but also to or from Switzerland, Italy and Spain.
The controllers' unions want to be exempted from proposed changes to how salaries are calculated, which they say would hurt their purchasing power.
Meanwhile, some 5.6 million civil servants have been called to participate in an industrial action to protest against labor reforms proposed last September affecting pay and career advancement.
Kindergarten and primary school teachers were striking Tuesday for higher pay, with about a third, or 100,000, expected to take part, according to their union, which predicts a stay-away rate of up to 45 percent in Paris.
The leftist FO union says that, with inflation, a July 2010 freeze on the index used to calculate salaries has cost civil servants eight percent of their purchasing power.
The striking unions — who led up to 120 demonstrations across France on what the daily Le Parisien dubbed "black Tuesday" — also claim they are protesting against job losses totaling some 150,000 since 2007 and say the hospital sector is especially in need of new jobs.
Civil Service Minister Marylise Lebranchu said Tuesday that negotiations in February could not be expected to lead to a "big rise (in the salary index) because we are in a difficult situation."
She said austerity measures involving the civil service had achieved $7.6 billion in savings.
Jean-Marc Canon of the hardline CGT union said Monday any increase would be "light years from what we want," demanding that wages keep up with inflation as well as "significant measures aimed at recovering the losses since 2010."
Travelers on Tuesday may also encounter roadblocks set up by a different set of protesters: farmers upset over falling prices.
The farmers' unions are demanding that distributors and major food companies pay equitable prices for their produce and livestock.
Padma Lakshmi is honoring her friend, Fatima Ali.
The Top Chef host took to Instagram on Friday to pay tribute to Ali, who lost her battle with cancer just hours earlier. Ali was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer called Ewing's sarcoma in 2017. In early 2018, the Top Chef fan favorite was declared cancer-free, only to find out in September that the rare form of cancer had returned. She was given one year to live and died at age 29.
"Goodbye lil’ sis. One of our brightest stars has fallen from the sky.... I have no words, but here are some of hers: “I dream of being better. I dream of being myself again, but I know I’ll never quite be the same, and that’s okay. I look forward to meeting that woman one day,'" Lakshmi captioned her touching post, which featured photos of herself with Ali.
Lakshmi announced earlier on Friday that she would be canceling a Facebook Live for "personal reasons." She and Ali grew close after the chef appeared on Top Chef: Colorado in 2017; Ali opened up to ET about her friendship with Lakshmi last October.
"She is always sending me food, whether I can eat it or not," Ali said of Lakshmi. "She came to the hospital a few weeks ago when I relapsed. I think our relationship was judge and contestant and very formal and now it’s evolved into a genuine friendship. It’s really humbling to know that I’ve inspired Padma in a small way."
Lakshmi gushed to ET about her friendship with Ali last year, raving that the chef is "an extraordinary young woman, she's very brave, she's very funny. My job is just to be there for her."
Liquidation sales are expected to begin Friday at Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores where going-out-of-business sales weren't already underway.
Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores in the Rochester region where liquidation sales are already underway have set closing dates.
The toy store chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September but was unable to successfully reorganize, even with some planned store closures, and abruptly filed for bankruptcy liquidation last week.
The iconic retailer will be closing 735 stores as it ends a 70-year run and according to company officials, all liquidation sales will likely start on Friday.
Going-out-of-business sales have been underway since February at Babies R Us at 2335 Marketplace Drive in Henrietta and Toys R Us at 1530 W. Ridge Road in Greece, as both stores were earmarked for closure last month.
According to store employees, the Henrietta Babies R Us is scheduled to close on Saturday, March 31. The Greece Toys R Us is set to close on Wednesday, April 11.
A closing date has not yet been set for the Toys R Us store at 654 Hylan Drive in Henrietta. Company officials said they expect liquidation sales on the company's remaining stores to begin Friday.
All three stores are expected to adhere to their regular hours until each location closes, according to a company spokesman.
In the past few weeks, shoppers have flocked to Rochester-ares stores to score deals and cash in gift cards. While Babies R Us in Henrietta has some inventory on the shelves, ranging from baby carriers to car seats, strollers and play mats, many shelves in the store are bare.
Empty shelves are scattered throughout the Toys R Us in Greece, which appears to have a larger stock of remaining inventory available for customers. Products ranged from American Girl dolls to Star Wars collectibles, bikes, diapers and video gaming systems.
Liquidation sales are expected to be completed at chain stores by the end of June. The whole operation is expected to take 14 weeks. Some stores may close earlier if inventory sells out.

SPRING colors glowed: robin’s-egg blues, daffodil yellows and succulent greens balanced by far-off reflections from the sand and surf. Whenever I stopped for directions on the road leading out of St. Ives, about five and a half hours from London, another broad Cornish accent encouraged me to continue farther up the hill, until I finally reached the gates of the Leach Pottery, the historic ceramics studio founded there in 1920.
Even in the old workshop, similar colors seemed to repeat through the dim light. In the same shade of green as the town’s billowy palms, a hand-lettered plaque, partly hidden among the potter’s wheels and tools, stated just one word, “Tranquility,” as the studio’s lead potter, Jack Doherty, talked about his work.
“The colors are, I hope, about here — the skies and the sea and the granite and the rocks around here,” Mr. Doherty said quietly, as if reciting a well-worn prayer. He cradled a rough-surfaced mug in an equally coarse hand.
Situated in Britain’s remote southwest where the extended finger of Cornwall points out into the Atlantic, St. Ives makes a great escape from London, partly for its spectacular seaside setting, partly for its top-shelf artistic attractions, which include a branch of London’s Tate; numerous commercial galleries; the Barbara Hepworth Museum, housed in the former studio of the great British sculptor; and the Leach Pottery, which reopened in 2008 after a £1.7 million renovation project.
The train ride from Paddington Station in London offers high-speed panoramas of the open sea, forests and verdant pastures divided by old hedgerows. The trip feels worthy of a ticket in its own right. Moreover, frequent service with sleeper cars means you can complete the trip while clocking REM cycles, departing right before bedtime at midnight and arriving in St. Ives in time for breakfast.
For my schedule, daylight travel fit best. After an exhilarating but exhausting urban weekend, I was grateful for a seat in the morning train’s quiet car, which seemed to rock away the big-city bustle and stress with each silently passing mile. On one side, coastal scenes flew by; the other window revealed peaceful pastorals and the occasional country estate. By the time our tiny, two-car commuter train — a short connection from the nearby town of St. Erth — pulled around the corner of the deep blue bay toward the old stone fishermen’s cottages of St. Ives, I was in a Zen-like state unlike anything I could imagine feeling in the capital.
Happily, however, I hadn’t left all the attractions of a big city behind. In London, I hadn’t had time for Tate Britain or Tate Modern, but I managed to take in Simon Fujiwara’s mythopoeic and playfully intertextual solo show, “Since 1982,” at Tate St. Ives while just getting my bearings. Though fun, the show could hardly match the museum’s glorious beachside setting, and my eye quickly wandered from the installations to the surfers paddling out into the waves. As one of the most popular surfing destinations in Britain, the town’s Porthmeor Beach has a reputation that rivals its art scene, at least among wave-riders.
Across town — meaning about 10 minutes away by foot — I pondered the arrangement of Barbara Hepworth’s hammers, chisels and files, stacked in her workshop just as she’d left them, along with large blocks of rocks that waited patiently for the sculptures inside them to be set free. Art students wandered through the museum’s sculpture garden, making sketches of the oversize artworks and taking snapshots of one another among the vines, bamboo and tropical plants.
Although most visitors might come to St. Ives for its art and setting, the mix of locals, surfers and gallery types has also inspired a surprisingly vibrant culinary scene.
Proud of their Cornishness, many of the best restaurants highlight regional ingredients. Echoing London’s fervor for high-end hamburgers, my first culinary crush took place at Blas Burgerworks, a moody harborside shack with communal tables, a limited menu and a name that comes from the Cornish word for “taste” or “relish.” I initially balked at the daily special, if only for the price: a mushroom cheeseburger for £10.50 (about $16.30, at $1.55 to the pound), not including fries. But the slogan on the wall — “Burgers for people who give a damn” — and a boastful emphasis on local ingredients — “cows reared in Pendeen, spuds grown near Marazion” — won me over.
So did the burger itself, a masterpiece of ground round, combining the smoky and earthy flavors of meat and cheese with a full palette of contrasting textures: fluffy bun, juicy mushrooms, tender beef and crunchy lettuce. Did I really need to ask what kind of cheese was melting unctuously over the aromatic, garlic-and-tarragon flavored mushrooms?
“It’s Cornish Blue,” said the woman behind the grill. “Voted the best cheese in the world a couple of years ago.” Switching to more sophisticated cuisine at a restaurant called the Black Rock the next night, I fell in love with a starter of small, almost fruity mussels from the nearby River Fal, served in a sour, sweet and salty broth of chorizo, lemon and cilantro, which brought out the semisweet and mineral flavors of a Betty Stogs Bitter ale from Truro. The combination was so rich and fulfilling that I had trouble finishing my outstanding main course, a slow-cooked chunk of buttery pork belly, paired with a creamy celery root dauphinoise and brightened by a gently sour cider reduction sauce.
A strong sense of place arrived at almost every meal, from a lunch of peppery, herb-encrusted local hake at the three-year-old Loft restaurant to pick-me-up pints of Proper Job and other great beers from the regional brewer St. Austell.
Still, the greatest thrill was the chance to meet local characters and overindulge in art and architecture, whether wandering the town’s narrow, maze-like lanes around the wharf, cruising through galleries and museums or ducking into the many wormhole-like passages between cottages. On the waterfront, I stepped into an old stone building, Porthminster Gallery at Westcott’s Quay, with remarkably low ceilings, a palpable dampness and an almost disconcerting amount of recognizable images.
The charmingly deconstructed ceramic pots by Carina Ciscato I had seen on a magazine cover, while an etching on the next wall bore the name of Ben Nicholson, who’d been married to Barbara Hepworth. An abstract piece came from Patrick Heron, whose painting of T. S. Eliot hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. Such heavyweight names, in such a musty, chilly space?
Considering its remote, end-of-the-world location — Land’s End, the westernmost point of the English mainland, is but a few miles down the coast — St. Ives can still feel remarkably approachable. Admiring the artworks in the windows of the Wills Lane Gallery, I was disappointed to learn that it was closed for vacation. A text message to a number on the door returned the news that the gallery’s curator, Petronilla Silver, was currently on a bus in London, but she’d be happy to show me around when she reopened the next day.
Stopping in shortly before catching my train back, I was surprised by the variety on display. As Ms. Silver pointed out a few of her favorites, the topic moved from paintings to prints, from milled aluminum bowls by Drummond Masterton (£7,840) to elegant ceramic beakers by Mick Arnold (£15).
Like the town’s blend of ancient pubs and haute cuisine, beach bums and gallerists, the contrast was stark but welcoming.
The First Great Western railway’s Cornish Riviera trains leave Paddington Station several times daily, and take about five and a half hours with one transfer in St. Erth. Overnight cars leave most evenings, taking a bit longer (firstgreatwestern.co.uk). My round trip: £93, or $146 at $1.56 to £1.
Recently expanded with historical exhibitions, a visitor’s center and workshops, the Leach Pottery occupies a significant spot in the history of studio ceramics and the art traditions of St. Ives (Higher Stennack; 44-1736-799-703; leachpottery.com).
Displays about the artist’s life provide context for the 42 abstract sculptures in the house and gardens of the Barbara Hepworth Museum (Barnoon Hill; 44-1736-796-226; tate.org.uk/visit/tate-st-ives).
By the beach, Tate St. Ives changes its solo shows three times a year (Porthmeor Beach; 44-1736-796-226; tate.org.uk/visit/tate-st-ives).
Founded by Bernard Leach’s wife (and fellow potter), Janet Leach, the New Craftsman gallery has been one of St. Ives’s premier galleries for 50 years (24 Fore Street; 44-1736-795-652; newcraftsmanstives.com).
There are two locations of the Porthminster Gallery: the original at Fern Lea Terrace and a new branch inside the old pilchard house on Westcott’s Quay (44-1736 793-978; porthminstergallery.co.uk).
Small but varied, the Wills Lane Gallery overlooks the old Market House (Wills Lane; 44-1736-795-723; www.willslanegallery.co.uk).
Yes, Porthminster Cafe once starred in its own TV show, and, yes, the Cornish scallops and crab linguine are still fine, but visitors should come for the airy, light-filled setting (Porthminster Beach; 44-1736-795-352; porthminstercafe.co.uk). Main courses at supper are under £20.
Even the fluffy, farmhouse-style bread, made by David Symons, is perfect at the Black Rock, which blends sophisticated cooking, a semi-casual atmosphere and a décor that may include Leach ceramics and paintings by the chef’s mum, Judy Symons (Market Place; 44-1736-791-911; theblackrockstives.co.uk). Main courses cost £13 to £15.
Would but there were more surf shacks like Blas Burgerworks (The Warren; 44-1736-797-272; blasburgerworks.co.uk). Basic beef or bean burger, fries and a drink: £10.
Housed in a former sail loft, the Loft serves great meals on a balcony overlooking the town and harbor (Norway Lane; 44-1736-794-204; theloftrestaurantandterrace.co.uk). Dinner entrees are about £16.
Set near the site of a former tin mine, the Pedn Olva hotel has views over Porthminster Beach and the bay (West Porthminster Beach; 44-1736-796-222; pednolva.co.uk). For mid-May, a Web search found standard doubles for £129, including breakfast.
