e ————————————————— EGGS MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD VTS SLEAGE HANDICAPS PROBE Alvey Believed to Have Promised to Shield His Abductors. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky. December Belief that a gambler's word “B as good as gold” and that Ed Alvey,| wealthy bookmaker and gambler, held | captive 53 hours this week by kidnapers, | will keep a promise made to his abduc- tors that he would not seek them today | Joomed as a strong barrier to the official | investigation by Louisville police. | Soon after Alvey's return Col. Roy W. Fasley, chief of police, announced that the department would ct:tinue the in-| vestigation and that aiests were in prospect. | “Nothing New” Announced. | Intimates of Alvey yesterday declared | the bookmaker's word to be “good as| gold” and this was partly substantiated | Iate last night when Col. Easley admit- | y had failed to come to| | police headquarters to aid investigators. | The chief, apparently chagrined over | Alvey’s indifference, announced there | was “nothing new” in the case and declared that unless the bookmaker | comes to police headquarters or shows 2 disposition to aid by Friday he would write Alvey a formal invitation to do/ ! $0 “in order to get the matter in the| | police records.” This declaration was| | construed as an indication that uniess Alvey aids, police may suspend the | investigation. { Paz, Rumors Renewed. Meanwhile, the assertion today by the | b Courier-Journal that Ed Alvey “paid or promised to pay & ransom of between $5.000 and $10,000 to his abductors” focused additional interest on the cast and renewed rumors that “King Ed" had “paid off.” The newspaper added that “a man high in official police circles declared | that one of Alvey’s kidnapers. kmown as ‘Harry,’ had been identified by police.” ‘The Courler-Journal said that “Harry” was known as leader of a gang and was in charge of a raid several months ago on a. suburban gambling | house, in which $3,000 was taken after several rounds had been fired by a machine gun. # Leader of the American Museum of Natural H who, just returned from the Gobi Desert, v prehistoric man, is to 14 million years old.
