2. The FBI and police now engulf the aircraft, certain that Mr . Cooper is aboard. After a through search of the aircraft, and crew, they are convinced that Mr. Cooper had indeed jumped without them detecting his jump. THE GREATEST MADIGICAL PERFORMANCE EVER HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETED, WITH THE LARGEST POSSIBLE AUDINCE -THE WHOLE WORLD.

1. The crew of this aircraft were nothing but actors that were probably paid very well to put on this fine performance.

2. You must realize that the money was not the motive in this fine madigical feat, the money was no more than a mere stage prop that had to be burned to complete this fine series of illusions.

3. This shows you something about our Mr. or Mrs. Cooper. Cooper has to be a very well to do person, such as an actor, or magician.

4. In 5 years the FBI has been trying to find some evidence to indicate that Mr. Cooper jumped, and in 5 years they have not been able to prove this fact, no body, parachutes, or money has ever been found.
