The next day, the mobile radio transmitting station arrived in Texarkana late in the afternoon, along with ten police cars and twenty State Police officers. Captain Gonzaullas placed it into operation immediately. A correspondent from the International News Service made reservations to come to the city and cover the story. Bob Carpenter from the Mutual Broadcasting Service in New York City arrived and was arranging a coast-to-coast broadcast directly from the KCMC studios (the "Gazette" and "Daily News" radio station) on 315 national stations. John Holman, chairman of the reward fund, asked people to send their donations in check form made out to either the Texarkana National Bank or the State National Bank. He said that the reward monies would be kept in deposit slips, which would make it easier to return the money back to the donors if needed.
