§
I have to-day received news of my fugitive Dub-
Inspector, Ibrahim koosa Baris. Bi ve days ago he was still in
Kuweit, living in a small house by himself in the mahallat el
Qiblah. It appears that he travelled to Kuweit via the khor Abdul'
lah in the company of a Kuweit man named Ahmed es oummeit, and
upon their arrival he stayed with this man; but Ahmea es oummeit, .t
having weaned his story from him, got alarmed and thought that per- it
haps he might be implicated in harbouring a criminal and so gave
information to the Sheikh of Kuweit. Upon this Ibrahim Baris was
imprisoned, but an influential man there called Abdullah Aziz es
Subih intervened on his behalf and pointed out to the oheikh that
as no official news had come from pasrah regarding this man he
ought not to be imprisoned merely on suspicion. The Sheikh then
released the man, and Abdul A^iz es Subih arranged for him to
live in a small house near his own and sends food to him every
day. In the meantime, Ibrahim i?aris is making strenuous efforts
to obtain money, either from his father, Boos a j?aris, in oombay,
or from his uncle Abdulla r aris in ^ubair, to enable him to pay
his obligations in Kuweit and proceed to Syria; he is entirely
without money now, I am informed.
