Abbott to Repudiate
Letter in Kirk Case
Continued From Page Ono,

to the board of pardons, in accord
ance with the understanding with
Mr.. Abbott. 1t also has been shown
that the governor, to whom it was
addressed, never received it.
Mr.. Abbott declared he has found
a copy of the original letter he die
tated. He said he would offer this
in evidence, but would withhold it's
contents until it was given the COM
mission.
Suffice 1t to say fer the present
that the letter Senator Bushee gave
the press was not the one | wrote, "
he said.
Will Kirk Appear?
Following the warm expressions
of interest used in speaking OF Kirk
by both Senator Peterson and Mr..
Devoe, when testifying at the hear
ing last month, many persons were
led to believe it would be possible
to have Kirk and his wife at the
hearing, and they are waiting with
interest to see whether or not the
man will be there, according to the
suggestion of Attorney General Da-
Wis just before the commission ad-
journed for the holidays. The, COM
mission ordered the apprehension of
both Kirk and his wife.
However, so far as is known to
date, no trace has been found of
the man and woman. Despite the
fact that Omaha detectives are
working on the theory that some of
the Kirk gang staged the Hayden
Brothers store robbery, and have ex-
hausted every possible effort to DO
cate the fugitives, their whereabouts
remains a battling mystery. Both
city and private detectives who have
been working on the Hayden Broth
ers safe cracking job have been pro-
ceeding on the theory that part of
the $o3,000 which was obtained on
this occasion was used in getting
Kirk out of the country.
1t is known that a quantity of
money was raised in Omaha last
July and August to pay attorneys
for the work they did in securing
Kinks release. 1t is said that fund
of $1,000 was made up by the ban
dts friends here and the movement
looking to his release immediately
was launched 1t was the under
standing of those who donated to
the fund that the reason there was
a lapse Of three months before the
prisoner was released after the sign
ing of the furlough was because
there had been a hitch in the pro-
ceedings and it became necessary
to raise an additional $1,000.
Where Did Money Coz
1t has not been definitely deter
mined what disposition was made OF
the money raised by Kinks Omaha
friends.
