REPORTER GOES
ON NIGHT CRUISE
HUNTING SNIPER
Finds Area Swept by
Hysteria Wave
BY CARROLL PEEKE

A Gordon of police is drawn tight
around Rock Creek Park today, as
the phantom Sniper still remains
at large.
The park is filled with police,
detectives, special deputies and
Montgomery county officers; all
heavily armed, all eager to capture
the mad killer who has slain two
men and wounded three other per
sons in the past IL days.
ALLNIGHT CRUISE
This reporter spent the night
cruising through the park and
nearby Mon gomery county,
searching for the phantom.
The trip was made in an Off
cial car furnished by the American
Automobile Association and to be
on duty each night until the
sniper is captured.
The car is equipped to furnish
emergency service to any motorist
who might break down and be at
the mercy of the sniper.
In the car with us was officer
Jack Henricksen of the Park
Police, a former Marine and one
Of the crack shots Of the force.
It was a comforting thought
to know that he sat there with
his service gun ready as we trav-
eled through the lonely roads,
looking for places where the
sniper might be in hiding.
WAVE OF HYSTERIA
We didn't find the Sniper. But
we did find that there is wave
of hySteria among those who are
forced to drive on lonely roads.
Call after call came in from
those who had "seen" the sniper,
or had Just escaped from him.
Into the Park Police lodge at
Military Road a young man came,
breathless and excited, just about
midnight. He had been parked
with his girl, he said, and a
mysterious small coupe drove up.
He stepped on the gas and
escaped, then took his girl home,
and after that reported to us.
We combed the park for the car
he described, but found no trace
Of it.
WOMAN HEARS SHOTS
Then came an excited woman,
calling to say she had heard shots
fired in the vicinity Of the Rock
Creek golf course. Up there we
sped, and started combing that
territory, again without success.
Then came news that the Sniper
had attempted to halt a car out on
Jones Mill Road, and there we
went, to find what looked like
police convention.
A score Of cars, each filled with
policemen and deputies, armed
with machine guns, riot guns, tear
gas guns. shotguns, rifles. and
pistols had responded, and the
woods were searched again-with-
out success.
But one thing is certain. If
the sniper returns to the park,
he Is bound to be captured. No
one can travel through the park
without being subject to inspec-
ton.
EVERYBODY STOPPED
Even our car, carrying the AAA
emblem, was stopped by de-
tectiveS, who wanted to know
what we were doing out at that
time Of night and going over lit
tle-traveled roads.
Elaborate traps have been made
to capture the Sniper, and certain
surprises are in store for him.
It is the most intensive man
hunt ever staged in the District.
And it has got to be successful.
Officials have ordered that the
sniper be captured. And every
available man is going to be on
the job until he is!
