Kentucky manhunt tale links to Wichita arrest
An elderly inebriated man named B Reno brought a suspect, D R Rantan of Kentucky, to Wichita authorities claiming the man admitted killing a person in Kentucky months ago. Rantan, tall with light eyes and a mustache, was handed to Justice Dix and then to the sheriff, amid telegrams from Kentucky officials. The case hinges on whether Rantan is the killer or a conman seeking transport, with Kentucky officials poised to arrive.
