Today Ed Rooney. attorney fof Mer-

Quiries concerning the amount of bond
that would free Merritt while he was
awaiting trial.
Rooney would neither affirm nor
deny current rumors that his client,

Burns detectives. contemplated re-

sic. He would not deny that his wife

From the day that a warrant was

thousand of dollars from the Grove
State bank, Rooney expressed a be-

school, worked in Topeka banks and
won the confidence and respect of his
| Sunday school teacher to such an eX-
tent that, when there was an opening
