Mr. Richard D. Kleindienst U.S. Attorney General
Sir: I wrote you May 8th regarding sky jacking of northwest 727 on the run from Portland to Seattle the eve of Thanksgiving last. Today a Kansas City F.B.I. agent called - viz out (frankly for you to have acted) I gave the agent the mans name, and other details, after he identified his self.

with the Shadow and I found my pardner was still there. I looked for any close friend he might have told the plan to. The FBI composit drawing looked like my pardner and I was stumped. Last week I bought a June Stag Magazine and beginning on page 18 was all I needed to knock it out. It is my pardner's [REDACTED b6/b7C] who is [REDACTED b6/b7C] [REDACTED]. no [guess: arrest] record. Has been in business for himself (that I know of) since 1955. Married twice, nice home and in 1967 owned a [REDACTED b6/b7C] Washington. always drives a Cadillac and Bowls in the money every year. Like everyone he seemed to always be short a few thousand dollars every so often. He has always enjoyed a good life style, Raised (Boxer Dogs) one time, for Sale. If he got a [guess: gob] of money I don't believe it would show, but from the composite drawing I would think the witness could identify him easily. He has relatives living around Portland Ore. Hoping this helps [signature] 84333-132
