REV. RENFRO IS
REPORTED IN AN
ASTERN CITY
Rangers Announce They
Have Located Missing
Pastor and Lecturer.
GIVE NO DETAILS
Said to Have Secured In
formation From Resi-
dent of San Antonio.

Announcement by state rangers
Saturday that they had located Rev.
j. It. Renfro, pastor of a Baptist
IChurch in Sinton and lecturer for
the ku Klux Khan, and their declara-
ton of intention to keep his where
about a secret in order to prevent
developments that might interfere
with his return to his home, created
something of a sensation and caused
much speculation as to the reasons for
the disappearance of the pastor. Ren-
I fro is said to be in an eastern city.
The rangers refused to divulge
any of the information they had OBJ
tanned or to say from whom 1t was
obtained. This secrecy, coupled with
the wide publicity given the disap-
pearance of Kenfro from San An
tonic, August 22. and the subsequent
fears of friends that he had met with
I foul play, has aroused much curiosity
as to the cause of Renfro's absence
and his silence as to his whereabouts
while the nationwide search was be-
ing made for him by friends who be-
lieved he had been Kidnapped or per-
haps killed. Many theories are ad-
vanced, that of his friends being that
he had simply decided hurriedly TO
make the trip TO escape the worries
of his work and to secure rest.
They say he told +. NJ. Hueber Of
his intention to leave the city.
