Walsh said the committee had
learned that Pratt sold $4,000 OF
the Sinclair bonds but that no
trace could be found Of the other

Hays Visited Her Home
Mrs. Pratt said she knew Hays
very well and that he had frequently
visited her home. She said he came
to her home two months ago to ask
her to search her late husband
papers for trace Of the Sinclair
bonds.
"It was on February u, Lincoln's
