Police, baffled for two years In their efforts to solve the case, were working with renewed vigor on what they termed a "live" lead.

Two prisoners, now in Sing Sing, may be the means of solving the mystery. Their names were said to have been mentioned in an examination of Harry Sitamore by the police.

It was intimated that the two convicts, alleged accomplices ot Sitamore in jewel robberies here, will be brought here and subjected to a grilling.

Nov. 10--While the citizenry of the north country today was engaged in a man hunt for "Dell" Fellows, who defied death in escaping from Nashville, penitentiary to see his few weeks old baby and who shot down Police Chief George Dow here, the young mountain outlaw was seen boldly trudging the main automobile road 15 miles below here. Evidently Fellows was making for the main line railroad at Two automobiles, arriving in Ashland from Laconia, said they saw a man answering the description of the outlaw, walking in the road, cap pulled down over his face and handkerchief tied around" his chin to conceal his features.

The motorists did not know of the man hunt at the time. A section of the posse of 300 men, engaged in combing the mountains and carrying orders to shoot to kill, was dispatched to the spot where the stranger was seen. A reward of $4,300 is set on "Dell" Fellows' for the shooting of Chief Dow and $4,000 for other crimes. Chief Dow was reported as resting comfortably today and will probably live. ASHLAND, N.
