"and knew that no police were around. Iwaited about ten minutes
and drove to the spot, got out, picked up the duffel bag and placed
it in the trunk of a rented car. After getting the money BONNIE

home from a pay station from a bar on Troost. I told him I had
gotten the bag and I would send him a wire the following morning
at Pittsburg, Kansas in care of Western Union. I told him
