However, he was convinced that the sheriff would trace every report to its foundation in an ef- fort to ascertain whether or not there was any substantial foun- dation on which to make arrests. Before going on the quest for information Mr. Thompson went to Miami and offered aid to Sheriff Coleman in any manner which would assist in bringing about the arrest of those implicat- ed in the abduction of the Cash chiki, and was informed that his offer would be remembered but at this time there was nothing which could be done.
