SH|NAULT SLAYER
ELUDES PURSUIT
Lookout Broadcast as Fellow
Policemen Prepare to At
tend Victims Funeral.

Search for the slayer of Policeman
George w. Shinault continued I'M
abated as preparations were made
today to hold funeral services tonight
for the dead officer
Shinault was shot to death Sunday
night when he went to 80 street to
break up a fight. Police Immediately
broadcast a lookout for William Bull
lock- colored, 33, of the F street ad-
dress, said to have done the shooting
Detective Sergt. H. K. Wilson, head
of the homicide squad, said he thinks
it likely the man is still in the Dis
trict or in nearby Maryland or Vir-
ginia. A dragnet has been thrown out,
however, taking in much of the At
lantic Coast.
Exoncrated in Riot Death.
Shinault was the policeman who
fatally wounded William J. Hushka,
Chicago bonus marcher, during the
recent disturbances here. A coroner's
jury eXonerated him of blame.
A story that a colored man bearing
marks of having been in a fight and
answering generally the description OF
Bullock was seen in Capitol Heights,
Md, early yesterday was being inves-
tigated by the homicide squad Sergt.
Wilson said however, he did not think
the man described was the fugitive,
since Bullock was not known to have
received any injuries in the alteration
at 80 F street which Shinault was sent
to quell.
The driver of an ice truck is said to
have picked up an injured colored man
on the road from Washington early yes
terday and to have taken him to spot
near the Marlboro pike. The driver
said he offered to take the man to a
hospital, but the offer was refused.
Baltimore Clue Fails.
Members of the homicide squad went
to Baltimore last night on information
that a man answering Bullock'S de-
Scription was under arrest there. The
prisoner was not the man sought.
Services for the dead policeman will
be held at 8 pm. at his residence, 1850
Franklin street northeast A large dele
cation of fellow policemen is expected
to attend. Tomorrow morning the body
will lie sent to Richmond, Va. where
Masonic funeral services will be held.
Shinault will be buried there. He is
survived by his widow and five chill
dren
Both the suspect arrested in Balti-
more and one Of the numerous colored
men taken into custody here bore the
name William Bullock and we're of the
same approximate height and weight
as the man who is thought to have
killed Shinaut Each was released
when witnesses failed TO identify him.
Two colored men and two colored
women still are held as material wit
neSSes.

B. Halves, End, leading tubercular

elared only a few weeks back, that
recovery under these conditions is
impossible, and any kind Of disturb

would be devastating.
Despite this statement, the dept. of
labor continues to hold Edith Berk-

planning to ship her off to fascist

Commissioner Tillinghast had ar
