Progress, Although Moth

spcclul Dlspotsh to r'hs 7rfbu,,,

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3O.--Fifteen
hundred volunteer searchers braved a
chilling rain all this evening and made
their way into the four corners OF the
city and surrounding country in a
united effort to locate Mrs. Gladys
Witherell, twenty-three years old, who
was kidnapper and taken from her
home in an automobile last Tuesday
night.
Tonight prayers in every pulpit in
the city asked that divine power be
added to what Is being done by citizens
and officers to rescue the woman, who
many fear Is being subjected to in
human treatment in an effort to force
from relatives ransom Of $4,000.
Mrs. Witherell is the wife Of an invest
ment broker.
Entire City Searched
Under a previously arranged plan
volunteers gathered at four widely sep
arated stations in the city and, under
the personal direction of Chief Of Po-
lice Pendergast and Police Lieutenant
McClary, divided into squads. They
invaded all the vacant houses and
shacks IN the city, and made their
way far into mountain canyons, groves
and the forests in the foothills in the
hope that some trace Of the missing
woman might be found. AS night
came on the parties returned, but none
with information which might in any
manner assist the officers.
Late this evening man visited the
.Sheriff's Office and after a hurried con-
sultation left with two deputies in a
high powered machine. Beyond the
fact that the hurried departure Of the
officers was in connection with the
Witherell case, attches Of the Sheriff 8
Office would make no statement.
Arrests Still Promised
Deputy Sheriff Manning and other
officers who have been working on the
case have been certain that they would
be able to make an arrest during tho
last twenty-four hours, but their plans
have either failed or unforeseen delays
have entered into the man hunt.
The nature Of the case makes IL I'M
possible for the officers to make their
plans known, and just what is being
done cannot be determined.
Officials insist that they are making
satisfactory progress and are sure Of
clearing up the mystery. In the mean
time the families Of both Mr.. and Mrs,
Witherel1 are near the breaking point
from their long and fruitless vigil.
