DENVER, August 26 LP.-Fears for
the life of Bernard Bitterman, young
Denver department store executive, kid
naped Thursday night, were expressed
today by Ira c. Rothgerber, attorney
for the Bitterman family.
The attorney said his apprehension
was based on the fact that the abduc-
tors have made no attempt to COM
municate with anyone since a note,
mailed at Cheyenne, Wyo., was received
manager Of the May Co., Denver de-
partment store.
Note Signed N. r. A.
The note read: Don't worry, your
nephew is o. K. Await further instruc-
tions. You'll hear from us later.
Triefus is not a relative of Bitter
mans and the Bittennan family is not
related to David May, founder of the
May Co.
Police and Department of Justice
agents theorized that Bitterman was
kidnapped by persons who believed he is
relative of May and Triefus, and that
his family is capable of paying large
ransom.
Bernard would be better off, am
afraid, If he were a rich boy" Roth
gerber said today When the abduc-
tors realize. by reading newspaper &C
counts of the case, that their prisoner
is not well-to-do and is no kin to either

Previously, Capt. of Detectives Will

that either quick death or release would
be Bitterman's fate when his captors
learned there is no chance Of collecting
big ransom.
Triefus said there were no plans for
raising any ransom money.
Mrs. Essie Bitterman, widowed moth
er of the missing man, was said by
Triefus to be badly upset" over her
sons disappearance.
There has been no word from Bitter

left the store where he is department
