Hanifin, missing guard of tho Unlon Trust | Co, who disappeared Thursday with §100,000 of the company’s funds, has escaped the police dragnet in New York, the local authoritles to- day were extending the search farther south. Chiet of Police W. J. Quilty returned last night from Hartford, Conn, where he with members of the local police detec- tive bureau went Thursday night on receipt of word that Hanifin had been seen to leave a traln in that city. Winthrop T. Davis, local repre- sentative of the Massachusetts Bonding Co. today offered a reward of #%2,500 for information - that would lead to the apprehension of Hanifin. This was done on the ad- vice of Chief Quilty. The general police tone appeared a bit less op- timistic than formerly of the early capture of the missing guard. Officials of the bank today ex- pressed no confidence in the theory that Hanifin had an accomplice. Police investigations in Harlf.ard late yesterday proved that Hanifin, after buying a suit case in that city, left for New York within less than an hour. This was established by Jullus E. Jepson, who identified a | picture of Hanifin as the man he drove in his taxicab to Fordham, N, Y. where he left him at the ele- vated station, Hanifin was traced in part by the $20 bills he spent. ek BOBBY JONES ON WAY TO NATIONAL HONORS Four Up on Von Elm After 18 Holes of 36 Hole Match By The Associated Press.
