with any business they may have had
with the Hand case. Detective Sergt.
Connors," Headley's report declared,
appears to have little if anything to
do with the Hand case or the car.

made a deal with Alligood and Capt.
PIIryn of No I Y1raniYNaf cfafad that
if Mullins could settle the matter with
Capt. Burke, he, Hand would close the
deal. Mullins then withdrew and de-

Inspector Stoll and I visited Mr..
Simmons at his business address, when
he corroborated Mullins, except that
Simmons said that he had bargatned
to buy the car from Mullins for $500;
that Mullins was to make $500 bythis
agreement; and the sale of this car
was conditioned that Pvt. Mullins was
to arrange to take Hand out of the
station house for the purpose of per-
hitting Hand to telegraph the money
obtained for the automobile to lady

this statement and that there was no
mistake about this statement. I in

piled that Hand did say that he did
want to be permitted to leave the sta

send the money to his relatives. Null

permission, believing at the time this
privilege would not be granted"

It appears from the report of Capt.
Burke that he made inquiry about
Hands car having in mind purchasing
the car, but there came a time when
