Lincoln, Dec. 8. (Special.) The! proposed investigation by the bar association ino the circumstances at tending the release from the state penitentiary of Beryl Kirk, on a "furlough" signed by State Senator Bushee while acting temporarily as governor is being held up because the president of the association, Congressman R. .

Dean of the state supreme court who cannot act as the case might later come be fore him in his judicial capacity. An other vice president. Wesley T.

Kirk, trom prison, and the daring robbery of Hayden Brothers' store. According to the statement of the detectives, it is known that two of Kirk's former pals in crime were in Omaha for two weeks or more be fore the big Hayden robbery was pulled off. Almost immediately after this robbery, they point out, nine was rcicasea. Their story is that Kirk had to have money in order to get out of tne country and that these pals, one of whom had been saved from a prison term because of Kirk's testi mony at his trial, gave him a part ot tne :(.oj,uuu they got trom the Hayden safes. The Furlough Held Up. The "furlough," which was dated September 8, was not given to the warden at the penitentiary until two days after the yeggmen made their getaway. It is also pointed out that Kirk s two friends have not been seen in this city since the raid on the Hay den Brothers store. Disappointment has been ex pressed by many persons interested in Kirk's case that Senator Bushee did not attempt to explain, in the statement he issued to the public. why the "furloush" he signed Sep tember 8 was not given to the war den at the penitentiary until nearly. three months later, w other have Kirk's attorneys explained why the man was kept in prison for months after the order for his release had been issued. , Abbott Denies Letter. Ray T. Abbott, who represented the county attorney's office when Kirk was tried in district court here for the murder of Detective Rooney and the robbery of the Malashock Jewelry store, declared yesterday that he did not write the letter to Governor McKelvie recommending Kirk's release from the penitentiary, which was attributed to him by Senator B. K. Bushee and published in Sunday's Bee. Following the statement; issued by Senator Bushee explaining why, as acting governor, he signed a ur lough for Kirk September 8, basing his action on Mr. Abbott's letter and affidavits executed by Sheriff Clark and William Musgrave, of the street railway company, Mr. Abbott was asked if the letter published over his signature and used in Sena tor Bushee's statement was authen tic. "That is not the letter I wrote " declared the former chief deputy county attorney. "I do not care to discuss at this time the contents of the letter I did write. I understand the state bar' association is going to make an investigation of this affair, and until such a probe is instituted I desire to remain silent on . the sub ject." Did Sign Affidavit Sheriff Clark declared he signed the affidavit referred to in Senator Bushee's statement at the instance of Mrs. Kirk. "My affidavit con cerned only Kirk's character as I knew him years ago ivhen he worked under me for the street car com pany. I made no reference to Kirk's subsequent conduct.? "Mrs. Kirk came to me last sum mer and asked me if I would give her a statement saying her husband enjoyed a good reputation while he worked for me. I did not know then for what purpose the affidavit was obtained. I thought it was to be used by Kirk to get employ ment after he had served his term in prison. I did not know my state ment was to be used in connection with obtaining a furlough or release for Kirk," Although Senator B. K. Bushee, on whose order Bandit Kirk of Oma ha was released from the peniten tiary on "furlough," after serving but 18 months of a 20-year sentence, has returned to his home in Kimball from a short investigation in Lin coln ending with a published state ment that he will "stand pat" by his order, officials at the state capitol are still wrought up over the affair. J- Lincoln Not Pleased. Hoping that the state bar associa tion will take up the matter at its next meeting, authorities in Lincoln are of the opinion that the affair should hardly be left as it stands at present. The fact that Senator Bushee's order for Kirk's "furlough" was dated September 8, while the actual serving of the order was delayed until last Tuesday, nas not been sat isfactorily explained, declare state officials. Governor McKelvie, who is in the east on business relating to the fuel shortage, is not expected to return to Lincoln until the last of the week, but officials are continually referring to his statement that he will probe the Kirk affair to the bottom upon his return. Still in Hiding. The bandit, whose release has caused such a flutter of excitement throughout the state, has not been declared a fugitive from justice. His whereabouts remain a mystery in Lincoln and Senator Bushee left for his home Sunday without giving out the knowledge of where Kirk is, which he stated he had. The general feeling expressed in Lincoln with regard to 'the entire a air is dissatisfaction with present explanations. ' Attorney Ben Baker, who defend ed Kirk at his trial, says: "I think the 'furlough is regular, and I be lieve that if Senator Bushee's state ments are. correct as stated in the papers he acted upon information he had received concerning Kirk." Asked why he thought the "fur lough" was withheld until last Tues day, Mr. Baker said that he did not have any opinion to offer concern ing the withholding of the furlough. Believed Not Guilty. Attorney H. B. Fleharfy, who also defended Kirk in district court, FIX STOMACH RIGHT UP "Pape's Diapepsin" at once . ends Indigestion, Gases, Sourness, Acidity You don't want a slow remedy when .your stomach is bad or an uncertain one or a harmful one your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it with drastic drugs.

"I yearn to reach America on wings," he said "I will fly to America across the Pacific and land on your .fair Pacific coast When my task in Fiume is done and when Fiume is a part of Italy's realm, I am going to Tokio through the clouds.

The dis covery, the newspaper adds, "has caused a greatsensation." said he believed Kirk not guilty either of the robbery or the murder of Detective Rooney, but that Kirk was just an unlucky victim of cir cumstances in having the "gang" living at his house. "Wally Martin, who was a fugi tive from justice, came to Kirk and asked to cenceal him, which Kirk did. Later the rest of the gang came to Kirk's house and on the afternoon of January 30 they robbed tr.e Malashock jewelry store and came back to Kirk's house. "I believe Bushee merely exer cised the right of governor of the state and that the furlough is a modified pardon. I can't imagine why the furlough order was held up so long, however."
