TONY FERNANDEZ is well known to Chief of Police BENIFIELD and FERNANDEZ is presently living in Longview. It is to be noted that his present description closely meets that of the hijacker and his photograph on last arrest does not meet his present appearance.

It is suggested that BENIFIELD might be able to eliminate FERNANDEZ by ascertaining his location last Wednesday night.
