there were any need for the
United States to participate in
paying ransom. the money could
be made available from the In

that Mrs. Carroll had been aban-

port said the searchers were fol-

Carroll. when they found her
empty suitcase and came across
the witness.
The Embassy spokesman said
the witness claimed to have
seen a foreign lady on a mule,

Police said earlier than when
the bandits attacked the Ameri-

their families with them. That

the bandits will not kill Mrs.
Carroll or harm her while they
have their families travelling
