Fugitives hunted near wife's Chicago home
A nationwide manhunt for the "singing cowboy" Oklahoma convict intensified near Chicago as state and city police pursued Jack Russell, linked to the kidnapping and murder of Willis S. Hamilton of Arkansas City. A police guard protected Russell's wife's apartment, amid sightings and a search based on the victim's brutal killing and Russell's escape from Oklahoma authorities. Russell, serving a 10 year term for robbery, is also tied to the abduction of photographer R. E. Brown in Missouri. Hamilton, a 23 year old University of Kansas graduate, was found shot in a ditch near Ringwood after being beaten and stripped.
