TELLS THE STORY OF THE AFFAIR
Santa Barbara, Cal., Sept, 28.—Fro-
moat Older, managing editor of the
San Francisco Bulletin, who has been
active in the prosecution of the bribery
graft cases in San Francisco, was
taken off the southbound Southern Pa-
cific train at 8:30 o'clock this morning
by a force of twenty deputy sheriffs,
who served a warrant for his arrest
to appear in the superior court at 10
o'clock this morning on habeas corpus
proceedings Instituted to release him
from the hands of the deputy constable
from Los Angeles, who, it is alleged,
virtually kidnaped him in San Fran-
cisco.
Wjord was received here early this
morning of the reported kidnaping of
Editor Older and of his enforced trip
to Los Angeles in the custody of a
deputy sheriff. Attorney Cobb, Fran-
cis .1. Heney's associate, telephoned
local attorneys and asked them to In-
stitute habeas corpus proceedings to
take Older frolB his captors on the
train.
Judge Crowe of tlm superior court
was aroused from bed at 3 a. m. and
all the necessary papers were prepared
empowering the sheriff to capture
Older by force if need be. Ail the
available deputy sheriffs and police
were on hand and boarded the train
as soon as it came to a standstill.
The first, search failed to reveal
Older or ills captors, but on moving
through the rear Pullman cur a second
time lie was scon and recognized. A
copy of the waKitbUMd h.Uifras corpus
proceedings was then served on Older
and shown to Deputy Constable Ben
Cohen of Los Angeles, who had him In
charge.
Older and the Santa Barbara officers
left the train without resistance. At-
torneys Porter Ashe and Luther
Brow a were at the train and accom-
panied thadeputios.
Escorted by several deputy sheriffs,
Older was conducted to a waiting au-
tomobile and rushed to the court-
house for a hearing.
T he legul ground upon which he w as
taken by the l.os Angeles officers was
a warrant for his arrest issued by .1.
W. Summerfield of ihe Justice court in
Los Angeles and sworn to by a brother
of Attorney Brown.
it charged Older and it it. Coruth-
_eis of the Sun Francisco Bulletin with
criminal libel in connection with an
alleged attempt at kidnaping ex-Su-
pervisor Louergan, which was frus-
trated by Detective Burns.
Last Wednesday’s Issue of the Bul-
letin contained an account of certain
actions of Luther Brown in connection
with it, in which'it is alleged he had
been in company with a disreputable
woman. The warrant was issued at
Los Angeles because Attorney Brown's
home is there.
in telling of his arrest and spiriting
away. Older said: "i was in the office
of Francis J. Heney yesterday after-
noon about 1 o'clock, waiting for Ru-
dolph Spreckles, when a telephone
message came for me. I answered it
and asked who it was, receiving th«
reply that it was Mr. Stapleton and
that he was at the Savoy hotel. I
asked what he wanted and he repeated
that it was very ImiKirtant **md per-
sonal business which he con id not dis-
close over the telephone. I suspected
that It was a trap and told Attorney
Cobh so. He said of course it was a
trap, hut I determined, however, to see
just what it was and told them to leave
word for Rudolph Spreckles. when he
came in. that if 1 was not back soon
they would know what was doing.
"After leaving Heney's office I saw
that two automobiles were following
me on Van Ness avenue. They dashed
to the curb and four men jumped out.
One of them thrust a warrant Into my
face and I was told it was from Urn
Augeler.
"1 protested that 1 wanted to see my
attorney about it. but they would not
let me." The four men had surrounded
me and hustled me Into an automobile.
In it were two deputy sheriffs and two
others—one a Calhoun detective. The
other car contained Attorneys Ashe
and Brown."
Older said the men promised to take
him before Judge Carroll Cook, who
had countersigned the warrant, but
instead of doing so, rushed bint at the
rate of thirty miles an hour to Red-
wood City, where they got on the train
with hint.
“When they seized me on the side-
walk," said Older, “they searched me
to make sure l had no weapons. In
the automobile the man next to me
thrust something, which 1 supposed to
be a revolver, against my side, and
toid me he would shoot if l made any
disturbance. Finally my captors per-
mitted me to dictate a message to Ru-
dolph Spreckles."
He was unaware of the habeas cor-
pus proceedings until Santa Barbara
was reached
In concluding bis statement. Older !
said: This whole thing is a diabolical
scheme of Patrick Calhoun‘a. They
are a despot ale band, and will not
hesitate at anything."
The proceedings before Superior
Judge Crow lasted an hour and a half,
in which time the whole story of the
kidnaping came out. It ended by
Older being allowed bail in the $2,000
named in the warrant, to guarantee his
Appearance in the justice's court at
1ms Angeles at such time as the court
there should designate The hail bond
was signed by H P. Lincoln, cashier
of the First National bank, and Paul
Fox, a ioca! capitalist.
Luther Brown, who swore to the
complaint of criminal libel against
Older, told his story of the circum-
stances.
"Sa.v for me,*' he said, "that this is
entirely a personal, matter. Neither
dklhotlu nor any other man has insti-
gated me to undertake these proceed-
ings."
He denied the reports thut. had been
published about him.
Attorney Porter Ashe, who testified
during the proceedings, practically ad-
mitted kidnaping Older.
Older will return lo Sau Francisco
tonight in company with Interstate
Commerce Commissioner lame, who is
on his way north from Los Angeles.
Calhoun Talks.
Sau Francisco, Sept. 28.—Patrick
Calhoun of the United Railroads said
tonight that the alleged attempt to
kidnap Fremont Older could not truth-
fully be made to appear to have been
undertaken by those defending them-
selves from charges of bribery. Said
Caihoun:
“Mr. Luther Brown, who is a lawyer
of Los Angeles, and one of the asso-
ciate counsel in my defense, was at-
tacked a few evenings ago by the Bul-
letin. which printed an infamous story
concerning him in connection with an
alleged attempt to kidnap former Su-
pervisor Lonergan. Under the state
constitution there are but two places
where a man accused of criminal libel
can be arraigned. One Is in the county
of tiie person libeled; the other is In
the comity where the libel was pub-
lished.
"Mr. Brown swore out the warrant
ill Los Angeles county and had the
warrant approved in Ibis county by
Judge Cook. Older was then arrested
and an attempt made to lake him to
Los Angeles. It was an ordinary ar-
rest."

TRIAL OF SENATOR
BORAH STILL DRAGS
Tacoma Man Says He Allowed His
Name lo Be Used by Barber Lumb-
er as Trustee In Acquisition
of Timber Lands
DIDN’T KNOW BORAH THEN
Had the Name of Meyerhauser Been
Used, Values Would Have Gone Ip
and Competition Would Have
Followed—More Letters Read
CONNECTING GOV. STEUNENBERG
Boise, Idaho, Sept 28 —Mention of
the Mey erhausei a, owners of vast
timber land tracts in the north west
was made In tiie trial of Senator Borah
today for the first time. This was
when George S. Long of Tacoma, took
the stAnd and stated that in response
to a request from James T Barber,
of Euu Claire. W'is., he had allowed
his name to be used as a "dummy"
trustee in the acquisition of Idaho
timber lands. He produced a Jetter
from Barber making a proposition as
follows:
"Emergencies have arisen which
make It desirable to pass title to cer-
tain lands in Idaho through some party
entirely removed front association
with the Barber Lumber company.
Circumstances being similar to those
which made it desirable to use mv
name In connection with some of
life Meyerhauser Timber company1*;
property, I have, therefore, taken
the responsibility of direct lug the
placing of title of cot tain lands In
your name."
Lung said he had been the personal
friend of Bather for seventeen years,
lie received no compensation for his
services as trustee; never raw any
deeds; did not employ Borah as coun-
sel and. in fact, never met Senator
Borah until this year.
The attorneys for I.! e defense naked
Long what the "exigencies" referred
to by i)arh*!i nieani. 'I suppose, re-
plied the witness, "they wi re the same
as arose In Washington when I pur-
chased property for Meyerhauser and
WUtm I used Mr. Barber's name. <f
we used Meyerhausei's name in any
locality it always sent prices up and
brought competition."
More letters, tending to show- that
former Governor Stuenepberg was In-
terested in timber laud speculation,
were introduced and read lo tin- jury.
