Sheriff White and Others of his pursuers
admit the fugitive TO be. he has com
pletely baf1ied all chase. He must have
dragged red herring across his trail"
Sheriff White remarked at the end OF the
days unsuccessful hunt.
While Sheriff White and the people
who knew the man being sought hold
fast to the theory that he is in the woods
and will stay there until he feels like
coming out. reports are keing received
from all sides of suspicious persons an
swering the description of the missing
farm hand. One such report kept the
Bangor police department on the lookout
all day, citizen OF that city having no
titled the police that such a man stayed
at his place. which is three miles out
from Bangor Center. Saturday night.
Sheriff White heard to-day also that folks S
at Barnard Hill in the town of Newport,
fifteen miles away from the scene of the
murder, had seen the missing man early
Saturday morning. They claimed to have
known him previously and to be certain
of the identification. The man was going
toward Plymouth, they said. No effort
was made to stop or to speak to him
and efforts to locate him later proved un-
successful.
It is the opinion of Sheriff White, and
il is shared by relatives of the missing
man and others of the town who knew
him. that he is in the woods and will
come out voluntarily within short
time and go to the home of his mother.
The man has done this several times,
they say, always making for the woods
when he wanted to escape from the
town, but each time returning of his own
volition.
