After a feigned attempt to protect Postell and his family from 4 death row escaped inmates, the GBI returned with a search warrant to take letters which they had pilfered while there under the guise of protection.

They left the next morning when Postell set off for his Albany Herald office, leaving Postell’s wife and children alone in the house they had professed was in danger of escaped convicts retribution after Postell refused to help them.
