Dear Sir,

I was reading the wednesday edition of the Portland Oregonian about the finding of the marked bills from the Cooper highjacking and noticed the sketch of the highjacker that i hadn't seen before.I recognized a great similarity between it and a man i rode on a bus with from New York City to Spokane last June the 8th. As long as we were going to same state we sat together and he told me what he had been doing in New YORK.He had been living in Nassau on Long Island and doing odd work to get by on. He said he had A sister in Spokane and was going there. When we got to Chicago he bought my dinner and rode the rest of the way with A tourist who was going as far as we were. I am 68 years old and living on retirement so it does not make any difference about the reward offer being cancelled.I am enclosi my phone number and address with my name; Charles F. Seward 1818 Terry Ave. 98101 Tel. 345 9398
