Government 10 urged to recover Sullivan bodies in Butte
Yesterday letters were sent to Governor Toole of Montana and Governor Hunt of Idaho requesting the U S government order the return of Don and Florence Sullivan’s bodies to Butte. It is believed the request will be granted at government expense since the island where the murders occurred belongs to the United States. Descriptions were sent to revenue cutter officers investigating jewelry and watches worn by the Sul livans to aid in tracing the murderers.
