GOT no SATISFACTION.
Mr.. Hansen made every effort TO
have Parent located and arrested. He
spoke to Detective Raleigh and Shan
non o number OF times but could get no
satisfaction. He followed Parent
around and went 70 Newton In an ef-
fort 40 get some aid In running MS
man Down. He received no encourage
Inent and Il was the first case he ever
''fell down upon" The reason is per-
fect1y plain, The suit case and grip
were PLAYING a mute part in these pro-
ceedings They were left IN the bag
gage room of the depot and Newton APP
peared one day, asking that ne see
them. The baggage man permitted him
TO see them but despite the rawlings OF
the little attorney refused TO let them
be carried away. Later Newton called
Mr.. Hansen UP by phone and an
nounced that he had a bill of sale for
the grip and suit case and had to have
them MIR. Hansen stu refused TO give
them up and retained them until today
when they were turned over to the state
as evidence in the hearing now under
way. If MI. Hansen had taken the
advice OF his namesake. the county at
torney the grips would have been
burned and what Is now considered In
valuable evidence would have been con-
sumed because OF ignorance of their
real mporta nee. Parent has told his
attorney and the county attorney all
bout the Maginnis AFFAIR and has
thrown Some light upon the Liberty
Park affair when the Painter Kid and
Harry Walters were sent out OF town
for matching dollars. Parent remained !
here.
