Investigation has also disclosed that while the Kellys were in Chicago, Illinois, they were shielded by Abe and Charles Kaplan. During the time in which Urschel was being held a kidnap victim, Kathryn Kelly maintained a residence at Fort Worth, Texas. She had been living with Louise Magness. .Shortly after the payment of the ransom money, and in response to a telegram, Louise Magness flew from Fort Worth, Texas, to Des Moines, Iowa, where she joined George and Kathryn Kelly. She then drove the Kellys to Brownwood, Texas, and posing as the sister of George Kelly, purchased for Kelly and his wife a 1928 Chevrolet sedan. On February 22, 1934, Magness was indicted at Fort Worth, Texas, charged harboring George and Kathryn Kelly. On April 30, 1934, she entered a plea of guilty to serve one year and one day in the Federal Industrial Institution for Women at Alderson, West Virginia. Investigation disclosed that Albert Bates had married Mrs. Clara Feldman, who had a son, Edward George Feldman. Clara Feldman had a brother-in-law, Alvin H. Scott, who was also a close associate of the above-mentioned parties. After the Urschel kidnaping, Bates joined Clara and Edward Feldman in Denver, Colorado, and later visited relatives in Portland, Oregon. Bates then returned to Denver, Colorado, where he was arrested shortly thereafter. Clara and Edward Feldman had no knowledge of Bates' arrest until a prisoner, who had recently been released from the county jail in Denver, left at the Feldman apartment a message to the effect that Bates was in custody and that Clara Feldman should "look in the suitcase." The suitcase was found to be filled with $20 bills. Clara and Edward Feldman then proceeded to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where they buried this money. Shortly thereafter Ben Laska, a Denver Attorney, commun- icated with the Feldmans, advised them that he was defending Bates, and that he would get in touch with them when he needed some money. Laska then took from Edward Feldman all identifying papers and told Feldman to use the fictitious name of Axel C. Johnson. Laska advised Edward and Clara Feldman to go east and live in large cities where their identities would not become known. Thereafter, at Laska's request, Clara and Edward Feldman paid Laska $8,000 of this ransom money to cover his expenses in the defense of Bates. ar ~ 12 -
