‘GETS HIS MAN' AFTER SEARCH IN TWOSTATES Fugitive Arrested Here in Cop's Home Calling on Daughter. , John G. Willis, criminal court in* v -ostigator, today is considering requests of friends that he forward his application for a post in the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police. For Willis, by his own methods, tracked and "got his man.” Last October the investigator was sent to Iroon, Tex., to return Robert C. Hamilton, Indianapolis, who had departed from here a few weeks before. Hamilton took a rented auto with him. Willis, armed with a warrant charging vehicle taking, skidded to a stop in the Texas town a day or so later after riding trains, stage coaches, autos and walking. He became the law’s guardian over Hamilton and they started back to Indiana by auto. When they reached Forest City, Ark., Hamilton walked into the wash room of a filling station while Willis casually smoked a cigaret outside the door. Later Willis learned that Hamilton had squeezed through a ventilation opening in the side of the building and*escaped. Several weeks later Willis learned of Hamilton's presence in Lynchburg, Va. Again he was too late. A few' weeks ago Willis received information that Hamilton was returning to Indianapolis. Sunday morning the- hunted man showed up at a young woman’s house. He promptly was arrested. He had the bad luck of choosing a girl whose father is a policeman.
