ment and the kidnaperS becoming
alarmed gave Perrin his liberty, but

bank was followed, and this led to the dis
covery of the conspiracy. :-::
The police claim that Kennedy, alias
Ba iley. who was a saloon-keeper in De
troit, disappeared at that time from there
and made his way TO Los Angeles. His
wife followed him later and obtained a
divorce from him on the ground of deser-

The police also state that Kennedy, alias

Colonel Bill Traylor, whose marriage in
Los Angeles to a Spanish woman and
subsequent divorce. some years age created

Kennedy, alias Bailey, were last seen TO-

dealer. My name is Thomas Bailey, not
Kennedy. ":.r.
"The kidnapping occurred about three
years ago and / did not leave Detroit for
about year afterward. / went from there
TO Los Angeles. where my wife followed
me and gotta divorce from me for deser-

never touched a cent of it,. On the con-
traTy she cost me $1,000 before L made up
my mind to desert her. as / found SHE was
not quite right, and that is the reason l
left Detroi, and went West.
IVY hen Sheriff Collins of Detroit was n
this city last spring with some Chm ese
who had been caught crossing the river
from Canada, l met him in the Palace
Hotel and came with him that night to
police headquarters to Introduce him TO
Chief Crowley, but when we got there he
said he would call upon the Chief next day
as he preferred me taking him through
Chinatown.
Surely if they were looking for ME oa
the conspiracy charge the Sheriff would
have knownit and could have arrested me.
''Since have been on this coast l have
been devOting my attention to hOrSeTaclng.
Any of the horseracing men will tell you
that | am hail-fellow- well-met and spend
my money freely. / live at the Palace
Hotel and defy any one 10 say they have
found me doing crooked act.
II have nothing To do with this con-
spiracy business. don't want to be
dragged back to Detroit and will fight ex-
tradition. l have not yet emuloyed an
attorney. but will do 80 atnnee."
Bailey secured the. services of Carroll
Cook last night. and will fight the case
through all the courts if necessary.
