Hickman today and a warrant is
sued for his arrest.
-In their search for Hickman the
police today found and questioned
Welby Hunt, with whom the sus
pected slayer had chummed sev
eral month ago. The officers
said that Hunt himself absolved
of any possible connection with
the Parker case had given con
siderable valuable information
concerning Hickman's cburacterls-
tics and mannerisms' that will aid
them in the hunt.
' Hickman and Hunt came togeth
er to California from Kansas City
and lived together for a time.
Hickman obtained the position in
the bank which he retained until
he was charged with forgery.
Actions Traced
Unable to obtain work, Hick
man returned to Kansas City. It
was at that time, the' police be
lieve, that he , stole the car used
in the kidnapping. He returned
here in October. Since that re
turn. Hunt said, he had not seen
Hickman.
Hunt and Hickman both were
attend-nts at a Sunday school
eiaes taught by Percy Peek, of Al
hambra. "The Hickman boy seemed a
gentleman." Peek said today. "He
had occasional fits of melancholy,
though."
"Hickman is unquestionably the
man we want," said police offi
cers today in summariihg the sit
uation. "We've completed one
phase of our work; we have two
others to complete to catch Hick
man and to guard him from a pos
sible mob."
The report that Hickman was in
the -apartment at the time of "the
police raid Sunday brought con
flicting statements from the po
lice and sheriff's office. Deputy
sheriffs said the manager of the
apartments 1 told them that "the
"Mr. Evans who rented the apart
ment could not be the hunted man
because he was in the apartment
at the time it was raided and had
talked with the searching offi
cers. This, the police officers late
tonight denied.
