Federal Chief Declares REGRETS KYIKAS DEATH Handwriting Expert Would Have Been of Great Value NoWr Says Mone In the belief that the bomb explosion that wrecked the bom of George Greenwood and brought death to Mn Greenwood may furnish the clew for the solution of a too ceeelon of these crimes In the last three Teate Stephen Mors Post offlc Inspector In chars IntM district yesterday resumed his investigation and detailed one of his men to study all possible phases the ertme of Tuesday evening Encouraged would be an unforta sat word to use where a death ha occurred said Morse but this crlrn certainly offer the possibility of resuming the Investigation where It ended for lack of rnatsrlal Mors explained that hi offlc had first undertaken this particular work In connection with the bomb explosion at the horn of Charles Hutchinson In Oakland on the evening of Decern ber 27 ltlC as the threatening jet ten to Hutchinson had con through the United State malls the first hav BsT been sent on October 111 THROWN TITO YARD The threatening letter sent to Greenwood In January of last year was thrown Into the yard of the Greenwood hone It did not co throurh the malls Morse said Consequent ly It did not constitute a crime within th jurisdiction of this offlc The sam Is true of the first threatening letter sent to Governor William Stephen Owing to the similarity in the printing of th Hutchinson letters with those received by the Governor and by Greenwood however they were all mad a part of the Investigation that Theodore Kytka th handwriting xpert conducted for this offlc It Is greatly to be regretted that Kytka Is dead He had made an Intensive study of Black Hand cases these letter having been furnished him on many occasions by th Stat as well as the Federal authorities Bnt
