Detective Ser-- geant Bart Tyrrell, who arrested Mrs. Fletcher, deciares that she aid-- ed Tolles to escape the police on the night of the murder and that she withheld information concern-- ing his hiding place. According to the police Mrs. Flet-- cher has admitted that Tolles came to her at her home in Kenosha and told of the murder of Mrs. Harris. It is claimed that Mrs. Fletcher took Tolles to Racine in her car and attempted to borrow some money for him, and that when she failed to get the money, she took him back The negress states that at 3 o'clock in the morning after the murder, she took another Kenosha negress to Chicago to see her for-- mer husband who is in a Chicago hospital. She denies that Tolles went to Chicago with her, but the police theory is that the . alleged murderer was taken to Chicago in the Fletcher car and that he is in hiding in Chicago at present. The Chicago police are working with De-- tective Sergeant Tyrrell on the case and they expect to arrest Tolles in one of the Chicago negro districts at almost any time. _ _ Mrs. Fletcher is being held in the local city jail and an attempt is be-- ing made to elicit further informa-- tion from her concerning the pres-- ent whereabouts of Tolles. She per-- sistently denies that she knows where he went after they returned to Kenosha. but the police believe that she is withholding further in-- formation. The police claim that regardless of whether Tolles is captured or not, Mrs. Fletcher will be held as an ac-- cessory, but they are contident that Tolles will be arresteqa very shortly.
