For the first known time since the baby Jayhawk disappeared six weeks ago, news confirming the costume's capability came Friday morning via a note and photographs.
The note, put together from cut-out letters, and two black-and-white photographs were found among the mail for the University Daily Kansan.
One photograph showed the costume with tape over the beak and eyes, and the wings tied together. A sign in the background said, "I'm OK but ... ." The other photograph showed two persons dressed in sheets and masks. They were standing over the one person was holding a knife and the other was pointing a gun at the costume.
AFTER LOOKING at the photographs, Cathy Stevens, Salina junior, who wore the costume for KU athletic events and other events, said she was surprised Baby Jay pictured was the actual costume.
The Jayhawk did not appear to have been damaged, she said.
The note accompanying the photographs said: "Here's the word, About the Bird, That departed. Just to say, That it's safely put away, so don't be broken hearted."
"The J was nabbed. And almost stabbed.
You all seemed to burn, But your bird, We
were sick."
THE NOTE WAS not signed and did not ask for a ransom.
The original note and photographs were given to KU police after copies were made
"We're regular folk, With a flare for a job. And we'd like to say aisos mother corps."
The Baby Jawhaym mascot was stolen Sept. 9 from Burk Awming and Canvas Goods Manufacturing Co., 706 Massachusetts St., where it was being recovered. The estimated value of the costume is $600.
Sgt. Paul Schultz of the KU police department said that fingerprints had been taken from the evidence and that KU and defence police were investigating the theft.
Schulz said KU police will solicit help from other police departments if the men have been charged with theft.
Schultz would not indicate what kinds of charges would be filed.
Public sentiment and damage to the costume also would be considered when it is used.
THE THEFT of the mascot has prompted the University of Kansas Alumni Association and at least two fraternities to look for the costume.
Messages by the athletic department asking that Baby Jay be returned have been flashed on the Memorial Stadium scoreboard at the past three home football games. The messages stressed no legal liability against those who returned the costume.

Paul Gray's Gaslight gang performed at the Rita Ehrlhardt, Kansas City pianist, first of many standing ovations during the evening with his stunning cadena during the concert.
Planist Jay McShan decided about a year ago that his friend, Paul Gray, deserved some recognition for his single-handed support of jazz in Lawrence. Last week the band gave up the ability to give Gray that recognition in a jam session at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The three-hour show featured nationally-known and local musicians. Jay McShann's quartet opened the program with a set of original songs by William "Fidder" Williams' effortless solos ornamented McShann's vocal and piano stylizations. The two collaborated vocally in "Do Wah" which featured Williams' commentary on McShann's choice of lyrics.
Henry Cuesta, clarinetist for Lawrence Well's orchestra, made his horn sound like a slide instrument when his wailing melody was the quiet brooding of "Memories of You."
Hot Scamps followed McShann with a set of molloy wool ballads.
Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the evening was Williams' rossing version of "San Antonio Rose." This jazz-bluestrue tuns were they told by "Filder."
Kansas City's Earl Robinson and his Red
Braggs brought the crowd to its feet with his vocal rendition of "Kansas City."
