Then the rest of the gang went to Mobile, Alabama, but they were caught one at a time. One of the clan was tried and convicted twice in Perry County, Miss. The first conviction was reversed by the Appellate Court and while in prison waiting a second hearing he died. Copeland still continued to hide out from place to place intending to leave the country but somehow there seemed to be a supernatural power over him. One time in particular he started and got part of the way and found he had left a large part of his money, so he turned to go back after it.
