Fingerprints Prove Man Fugitive From Justice Living in Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, (P)--A fugitive from Alabama who had been living here under an assumed name for three years was arrested by the FBI last weekend and held in federal jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.
The FBI said the man, Charlie Hanson, 34, was wanted in connection with the murder of E. C. Connell and wounding of D. E. Hood at Montgomery, Ala., in November, 1946.
Hanson was arrested in a suburban bar and denied he was the man sought. Fingerprints proved his identity. The FBI said he had been living here since March, 1950, under the name of Lovelace Potts and had worked on construction jobs.
A warrant for his arrest on a charge of flight to avoid prosecution was received here last May.
