PD 164-41

upon the latter's arrival on the ground. The co-conspirator did [illegible] meet the hijacker and either found him to be injured or possibly [illegible] killed himshimself. He buried both the hijacker and the money [illegible] at the scene. He has not returned to the scene nor touched any [illegible] of the money and has developed a severe paranoia about the entire incident. He is interested in being granted possible prosecutive immunity in order to overcome his feelings about the matter.
