jumped out of some bushes, climbed in

The boy was released early on the
morning of June l last year. He
walked in driving rain to a nearby
farm house, not far from Issaquah.
and was driven back to his home.
From information obtained from the
Valleys. Federal agents went to Immi-
grafton Pass, near Salt Lake City, and
dug up S90,790 of the Valleys share
of the ransom money. Valley said he
burned $500 more Just before his
arrest. He said he Short-changed
Mahan $4,000 in dividing the ransom.
Other Bills Found.
More than $4,000 additional in ran
som bills was recovered from an auto
mobile which Mahan abandoned at
Butte, Mont.
Hoover made public memorandum

marked by parole and a pardon by
State authorities. He was paroled in
1924 after serving one year of 2-to-4-
year sentence for grand larceny in
Montana. He pleaded guilty to rob-
berry of the Bank of Rathdrum, Idaho,
in 1927. after his arrest with $4,000
of stolen securities in his possession.
Imprisoned in the Idaho State pen
itentiary, Mahan was placed in soli-
tary confinement for year and a
half when he sought to effect a Jail
delivery. The Idaho State Board Of
Pardons. after twice rejecting pleas
for pardon of Mahan, granted him
an unconditional pardon in 1888, al
though he was wanted at the time by
Washington State authorities for four
bank robberies.
Mahan is 33 and a native of North
Dakota. He is a blacksmith and me-
chanic by trade, but dropped honest
work in favor of bank robbery and
kidnapping. His parents reside in Can
ada.
Attorney General Cummings ex-
pressed keen qualification today over
the capture of Karpis, Campbell and
Mahan. He said the rapid-fire ar
rests demonstrated anew the advan-
tage of mobile force like the F. B. I.
men.
Comment Of Hoover.
Hoover said the capture Of Camp
bell was I'VE job-not an I job" when
reporters asked if he led the raid. He
said he had charge of the squads at
the scene, but that the men should be
given all the credit.
When asked about reports that the
capture of Karpis and Campbell re-
suited from information supplied by
postal inspectors or other informants,
Hoover answered quickly:
TN say this: We received no in
formation and no cooperation from
the postal inspectors which gave us
any assistance in the arrest of Karpis,
Campbell, Hunter (taken with Karpis)
or Coker Companion of CampbelD :"
He said the reward Of $1,000 offered
for information on Karpis and $2,500
for information leading to Campbell's
arrest would not be paid to any one,
as the agents had gotten the leads
themselves.
Hoover indicated anger over what
he termed "lack of cooperation" on
the part of certain law enforcement
officers" He refused to announce
their names.

Alfred Tilquist of Danbury, who had driven a car for 9 years wtth- out an accident, is absolved of crim- .inai responsibility for the death oi Eugene McKeon, 65, of Southbury. in finding handed down today by Deputy Coroner Walter w. Smyth. McKecn died September 30 at ths Griffin hospital, Derby, three days after he had been struck by Til- quist;s car on the Eouthbury-O Oxford road along which he was walking with his wife.
 The deputy coroner finds that the lights. of an approaching car inter- fered with Tilquist,s vision and that the driver did not see McKeon and his wife until he was too close to avoid hitting the man.
 The Finding
 Deputy Coroner Srnyth says:
 On the night of September 27th, at about 8:30 o'clock, the deceased was walking in north- erly direction on the Southbury- Oxford road, in the Town of wifes Mrs. Catherine McKeon. The elderly couple had reached a point about one-tenth of a mile south of the Southbury Garage and were walking on their right hand side of the highway. MT. McKeon being about on the edge of the cement shoulder. At this time. Alfred N. Tilquist, of Dan- bury, operating a 1929 Nash sedan, approached from the north and to the rear of MT. McKeon. There was anot Ter car on the highway at this time, proceeding south erly, with very bright headlights which interfered with Tilquist's vision of the road ahead. He did not see the deceased until mo- ment before he was struck by the right front fender of Tilquist's Car. It was then too late to pre- vent the collision. The brakes on Tilquist's car were in god con- dition, and he brought his car to stop within distance estimated to be sixty feet after striking Mo- Keo1. The shoulder of the road at the place where this accident happened is four feet in width and McKeon was thrown to the right so that part of his body was easterly of the State highway fence. Had the lights of the ap- preaching car not interfered with TiIquist,s vision of the highway ahead there would be no reason, why he should not have seen Mc- Keon and his wife as they were walking along the side of the road. While 1t is hazardous to walk along a heavily travelled highway at night pedestrian has the right to do so and a driver of an auto-. mobile is bound to use all req sonable care to avoid injuring him. Tilquist had driven a car for
