The Informant stated that he received a telephone call from Galatas at Hot Springs sometime around two months ago and stated that he met Gabtas in a secluded spot near Hot Springs, pursuant to the telephone call. at that time, Galatas ia said to have ask- ed whether the Government would try him or whether he would be tried by the State euthorities at Kaneas City, Missouri, for murder. He asked Informant a that it be ascertained from the Government what its attitude would be in respect to him. Galatas expressed fear of going to Kansas City, saying that he would likely be “put on the apot® the minute he *walked out of the court room."

He said that Galatas was to contact him about thirty days after his meet- ing as heretofore mentioned, but that he has not done ao. He also said that he had not received a meseage from the fugitive and claimed he has no idea where Galatas may be at preazent.
