My memory is failing me here How but I seem to recall reading somewhere about various people being taken in by the Police for reasons unspecified. If I’m not imagining this I can only assume that it’s in an Echo (but which one?) I was wondering if Kelly was called to the station for ID purposes? I’m embarrassed to say that I also can’t recall when Kelly’s info became known (or by what means) even though I seem to recall you telling me this fairly recently?
I have to say How that I still struggle with Kelly’s non-appearance in the witness box. Why was the Defence apparently so confident that the case against Ali would fall apart? Seems like over-confidence to say the least. I’m no lawyer of course but unless Kelly was a drooling halfwit I’d have physically dragged him into that witness box to match up his description with Miniter’s for the jury.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite a few men were taken in for questioning, not all listed by name in the papers.
Kelly provided information on the 24th, the same day Miniter did.
From what can be gleaned from the papers, he was never used for identification purposes, only giving them a description which was definitely used in the all points bulletin,
Mike... I forget little details and sometimes big things myself. On the same team, boss.
...no issue in forgetting things.
Jennings does look like a well to do person....in a way that sort of gives credence to those upstate New York and Canadian reports which stated he was a respected man uptown but are
not found in New York papers. I'm going back in to the papers today and will see if I can locate one that corroborates the out of town papers.
I'll ask the Boss to see if she can locate any other properties he managed or owned a.s.a.p.
