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 me out (to [guess: ask] [guess: for] you [guess: how I]
acted) I gave the agent the mans
name, and other details, after he
identified his self. I feel I should give
you the facts too after the letter
I wrote you.
I have a crime pardner named
[REDACTED - b6/b7C] [guess: wherever] we [guess: resided] anywhere [guess: he]

he approached me with the idea of
sky jacking a 727 and him jumping

me. 169-81-3558

the same name being used I was
convinced my pardner was free and
[guess: had] [illegible] it [illegible] [REDACTED - b6/b7C] [guess: checked]
