DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)- The FBI tracked down one of its ten most wanted men through a bit of information gleaned from the check of a slain fugitive's automobile license.
Lee Emory Downs, 43, sought in connection with the $10,800 burglary of a San Jose, Calif., telephone office in June, 1948, and his 25-year-old wife Patricia were seized at their luxurious house trailer in nearby Holly Hill Friday.
They are charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution for the San Jose burglary, the FBI said. Downs was a known associate of Walter Lennon who was killed Wednesday near Mojave, Calif., while resisting arrest by the FBI and the California highway patrol, according to the FBI.
