He first wanted to know if there is a reward for the hijack money. He said he can take us to it and even to the room next to where it is maintained. He said he is concerned about prosecution himself as an accessory or having knowledge. He has a bad record. He was in jail when the hijacking took place. He said about 95% of the money is available but he could not tell me how much money in dollars is involved which might indicate he does not know how much was paid in ransom. He wants guarantee of non-prosecution and no publicity. He said the money is not in Spokane and not in this State. He said he is interested in "hard cash" and wants to know how much he can get.

The caller sounded coherent and clear and intelligent. He was advised that no figure of reward could be told to him now but that if he assisted in this matter he would be reasonably and profitably compensated.
