Search for Attacker of White Girl in Conroe Texas
Conroe Texas April 6 authorities hunted a Negro described by a young farmer’s daughter after an attack near here on Wednesday.

John Blair a 55 year old unshaven worker was questioned as a possible link but alibi supported by co workers weakened theory. Small posses continued the search Thursday without a solid clue.
