Raymond Hitchcock. the actor. wal not
90 he found In this city yesterday. although
the police are looking for him. In some
way the impression got around hat he
was In Boston because he was said 10 have
been seen about MOOT on Wednesday in the
Grand Central railroad station. The Boston
police ave Seen asked TO look out for him
there. There il very general disbelief
that Hitchcock took ship for England or
anywhere else abroad.
While the indictments against Hitchcock
nave not been made public it Is known
that he has been indicted for an assault on
a Young girl and under these indictments
cannot be extradited froma foreign country.

extradited. If he is brought back here no
will have to be tried IN the indictment on
which he was extradited. II acquitted on
that charge he has a right to cave the
country and ne cannot he tried on the
present indictments against him.
One thing that was arranged yesterday
was 10 continue the bail Of the actor until
November 8. The case in which he was

trict Attorney Caravan agreed to this. Mr..
Fromme said something about believing
that a gang of blackmailers had kidnapped
Hitchcock in order that he might not be
able to appear against them. now that the
police were learning OF their doings. He
had the idea that perhaps the actor might
have been murdered to get him thoroughly
u of the way. However. Fromme had
hopes that before next Wednesday he
would be able TO produce his client in court.
Mrs. Hitchcock Flora Zabelle) appeared
in "A Yankee Tourist" last night. She
believes. she says. that her husband has
been kidnapped.
In the meantime, although the outgoing
steamers from New York are being watched.
as well as those which leave from Boston
and from Canadian ports. there IL a very
distinct impression that Hitchcock has
not got far from this city. For one thing,
his personal appearance Is 80 distinctive
that he would have great trouble in adopt
ing an effective disguise. IL is thought
that he has found a place of refuge not very
far from the theatrical district. One place
where it is believed that he is being con-
cealed is being watched by the police. with a
strong idea that he will be- arrested there,
II at all.
A report reached this city last night that
Hitchcock had been seen yesterday in North
Adams, Mass. and that he was then on his
way north.
The report said that the actor, who was
with two companions. was recognized by a
New York man on the Harlem express
which reached North Adams at 2:25 O'Clock
and thar they tool the trolley to Benning-
ton, with the apparent intention of getting
TO Canada by the quickest route. With these
two companions, IL is said, he boarded the
S:45 train from New York on the Harlem
division of the New York Central. They
gave the conductor tickets for Springfield
and seemed surprised when told that they
were on the wrong train. Hitchcock then
asked the nearest route to Manchester or
Rutland, VT, and was told to come through
to this city and take the trolley to Ben
ningtOn. Thereupon the three paid car
