Rushes to repenting daughter

Abraham Felton, father of Bernice Felton, is pictured in an airline office, here, after his arrival from Chicago. He is enroute to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., to see his daughter who was taken into custody with Lester Brockelhurst, former Sunday school teacher. The elopement of Brockelhurst and the girl left a trail of 27 robberies and, police say, six murders. The government and three states are fighting for the right to try the couple, who are begging to be returned to Illinois for trial.
