ABANDON MAN HUNT
All Hopes of Locating Whitfield In
| Wisconsin Given Up
i TAssOciated Press DiSpatch

Madison, Wis, May 26.-All hope
Of locating the elusive John L.
Whitfield before he can get away
from this vicinity was abandoned by
police authorities this afternoon as
they returned from their all night
man hunt, having lost trace of the
fugitive, wanted for the murder Of
a Cleveland patrolman.
Whitfeld's trail was lost at Ed
gerton. He was headed east at the
time last seen, according to officers.
They describe him as the "wariest
criminal on two feet" and refuse to
divulge what the next move in the
man hunt will be.
Those leading the posse that left
here at three o'clock this morning
say that they, located the parking
place of the automobile being driv-
en- by the alleged murderer, and
that they were able to trace his
course to the Dane county town.
Since then there has been nothing
to indicate the course taken by
Whitfield, who appears once more
to have made a complete getaway.
