The woman escaped from Jones
and made her way to a farm
home near Anetta and called po-
lice.
Verner, left for dead in the coun-
try, made his way to another farm
and was given aid.
The Sears home is about a quar-
ter mile from where Verner was
tied and beaten and the woman
raped.
FBI agents, state, county and
city officers searched for Jones,
putting up road blocks over much
of Texas.
During the first few miles of
the car ride with Jones, Mrs.
Sears said, she cried. But she
stopped after recalling the scrip-
ture quotation "Fear only him
who can destroy both body and
soul.”
She said Jones listened to radio
reports of the manhunt spreading
through North Texas after police
identified him as the man who
raped the woman and choked Ver-
ner.
Jones told her he intended to
try to reach Louisiana, but appar-
ently decided to drive to San An-
tonio.
After arriving in San Antonio
Jones drove around the city two
hours, stopping on a north San An-
tonio street and told Mrs. Sears,
"Just take off, just drive away."

near Anetta.
Knowing he would be listening
to the car radio she said, “Hello,
Walter, I'm all right." Cynthia
said, "Hi, daddy."
During her nine hours with
Jones, Mrs. Sears said the ex-
convict told her Cynthia is “one
of the sweetest children I have
ever seen." He halted the car four
times on the way here to buy milk
for the child, gasoline and ciga-
rettes.
Jones, who has spent most of
the last 22 years in prison, was
charged with the shooting death
of Jackson, an ex-convict, found
in some woods near Texarkana
Sunday. Jackson had been choked
with a leather belt and all iden-
tification was removed from the
body. He had been dead two weeks
when found.

SAN ANTONIO (AP)-An all-
out manhunt for an armed con-
victed murderer who kidnaped an
expectant mother and her young
daughter, raped a woman and at-
tempted to kill her companion cen-
tered in this South Texas city to-
day.
The massive manhunt for Curtis
Lee Jones, 38, covered a huge
portion of the state Thursday. Po-
lice warned citizens to avoid con-
tact with Jones, described as des-
perate. He is charged with mur-
dering Doyle Jackson, 45, Texar-
kana, earlier this week.
Jones kidnaped Mrs. Walter
Sears, 24, and her 2-year-old
daughter, Cynthia, Thursday from
their home near Anetta, about 20
miles west of Fort Worth. He

point into their car and, eluding
police roadblocks, drove 250 miles
south to San Antonio where he re-

it kept coming into my mind."

any good, but it helped me," she
WITH NIXON IN ILLINOIS (AP)
—Vice President Richard M. Nixon
said today that he and President
Eisenhower stand shoulder to
shoulder in the fight against com-
munism and for the preservation
of veace.
The Republican presidential
nominee brought his camvaian to
Illinois after a hectic day in Mich-
igan Thursday when he was heck-
led. was the target for eggs and
tomatoes thrown at him and
where it was announced that a
piece of metal had been found on
railroad tracks in Indiana over
which the special train was to
pass.
Nixon got a rousing reception
from a crowd police estimated at
more than 5,000 in his first Illinois
stop at Danville. During the night
his train has passed safely over
a bridge near Fort Wayne, Ind.,
where Pennsylvania Railroad em-
ployes had found a piece of scrap
metal tied to the track Thursdav,
Secret Service agents said the
contrantion was not a bomb. Rail-
way officials sai' it possibly could
have derailed his train.
Nixon laid emphasis on his long
association with Eisenhower as he
campaigned through areas of Illi-
nois regarded as primarilv Re-
publican. The nominees obviously
honed to stir enough Revublicans
into action to furnish him with
the winning margin in the battle
for Illinois’ 27 electoral votes.
Gov. William G. Stratton, who
boarded the train at Danaville, pre-
dicted that Nixon will carry the
state.
“We are coming up fast in Illi-
nois and I think we are going to
win it," said the governor, who is
the Republican candidate for an
unprecedented third term “Nixon
is going to carry Illinois, I am
confident of that."
Nixon, shrugging off heckling as
he camvaigned through Michigan
and a possible attempt to derail
his train, said the purvose of the
visits would be to "proclaim again

SEEING DOUBLE IN SANGER
Sanger residents who drank coffee at the Nixon-Lodge handwagon Thursday aft-
ct noon thought they were seeing double. Helping serve coffee were twins Mrs.
Maud Evans and Mrs. Maida Taylor, at right. The three Sanger residents being
served, at left, are Mrs. Frank Amyx. Miss Charkie Amps and Frank Amyx. The
bandwagon, which toured 10 county towns this week, will be on Denton’s court-
house square all day Saturday.
CHICAGO (AP)—A car driven
by a woman who said she blacked
out jumped a sidewalk and ripped
through a crowd of pedestrians
Thursday night, killing five and
hurling their bodies across a busy
downtown intersection.
Three persons, including the
driver, were injured.
Dead and injured were thrown
25 feet as the car scooped up
pedestrians and careened across
the intersection at Randolph and
Franklin Sts., at the west edge of
the Loop.
Hundreds of homeward-bound
persons in the evening rush hour
watched in horror. All five vic-
tims lived in west suburban com-
munities.
One of the fatally injured pedes-
trians was sprayed with boiling
tar when the careening car struck
a two-wheeled heating cart towed
by a roofing firm truck.
The car, carrying some victims
on its hood, then struck another
car and both veered side by side
out of control.
One body was found jammed
beneath the second car which
finally smashed to a halt against
Ea row of cars in a parking lot.
The woman's car ended its path
of carnage by smashing into a
curb.
Witnesses said most of the vic-
tims were waiting to cross the
street and had their backs to the
cars.
F. Y. Mellen, said: “This car
passed me going like a bat out of
hell. There were three or four
guys standing on the corner and
they went flying end over tea
kettle."
The driver of the car that po-
lice said triggered the tragedy
was Bette Gillespie, 25, a home
economist for a utility company.
Miss Gillespie, daughter of for-
mer Chicago Aiderman Joseph
Gillespie, told police she started
to halt behind a bus when she
"blacked out, and woke up in the
hospital."
Romie Gilkey 42, driver of the
second car, said he was crossing
the intersection "when something
hit me. It was going so fast it
looked like an airplane ”
Police said both drivers suffered
from shock.
Dead were Carl Matre, 61, of
Des Plaines; Leslie M. Miles, 63
of West Chicago; Carl A. Berg-
gren, of Glen Ellyn; Carby Al-
ward, 44, of La Grange, and
Harold Murphy, 49, of Glen Ellyn.
the Republicans. He said the oil
depletion law, which he has sup-
ported, raised profits for the ol-
men but today 80 per cent of these
people would vote against the
Democrats.
“This is one quirk of human na-
ture I can't understand," he said.
“People who recovered the fastest
and got the richest hate the Dem-
ocrats the most?’
All good things come from the
Democrats, Rayburn inferred He
reminded his listeners about rural
electrification, which he "father-
ed" in Congress, and of social se-
curity benefits and farm to mar-
ket road legislation.
Turning to the approaching elec-
tion, Rayburn said many Texans
are saying they can't vote for the
Democrats even though they re-
spect Sen. Lyndon B Johnson. He

After comparing the total U.S.
