DALLAS (AP)—The manhunt
for kidnaper Delbert Garmon
Jr. spread to Alabama today
after a hitchhiker identified him-
self as the fugitive, the Dallas
Times Herald said, quoting an
Alabama state trooper captain.
Capt. Robert Moore of the Al-
abama state police said the
motorist who reported the inci-
dent left before police could get
his name.
The captain was not certain
of the day the motorist picked
up the hitchhiker.
Garmon was last reported in
Dallas early Wednesday when a
farmer said he let him out of his
pickup truck after a drive from
Davidson, Okla.
Plea* Made la Vain
There appeared a chance Gar-
mon would surrender Thursday
but he did not respond to pleas
from his family.
He is accused of kidnaping 19
persons in Oklahoma and Texas
in the last two weeks.
Capt. Moore said the motorist
let Garmon out of his car at
Faunsdale, a community 109
miles west of Montgomery,
shortly before midnight Thurs-
day after picking him up on the
outskirts of Dallas.
"He (the motorist) Mid the
hitchhiker didn’t talk much dur-
ing the drive,” Moore said. But
he told him his name was Gar-
mon and that he was wanted in
Texas and Oklahoma for kidnap-
ing "and maybe murder now,”
the captain said.
Victims Unharmed
As far as is known. Garmon
has harmed none of his kidnap
victims.
"When they got to Fauns-
dale." Moore said, "the hitch-
hiker said he wanted out. He
asked the driver for money and
the driver by now was so scar-
ed he gave him 52.11.” He said
the hitchhiker did not display a
pistol, although he is believed
carrying two
