60 East to stand trial, in case the express
company would agree to deal leniently
with him. Soon afterward Under Sheriff
Grenshaw went to the Valley of Palms
and returned with Whitman, who was
taken East.
The report then became current that
Whitman had not surrendered, but had
been drugged and then kidnapped. lit
was said that A. NJ. Pullman, former
partner of Under Sheriff Grenshaw, and
upon whose ranch at the Valley of Palms
Whitman was staying, agreed to deliver
the man to the Under Sheriff; that he was
drugged and shown bogus telegram
purp0rting to come from the American
Express Company, saying that if Whit
man would come to Tia Juana, sign
paper and deliver 5000 he would be al
lowed to go free.
According to the story he agreed, but
and refused to come further, when he
was handcuffed and brought forcibly
across the line.
This report is emphatically denied by
Under Sheriff Grenshaw.
alThe Mexican officials investigated the
report at Tia Juana, and issued a subpoena
for Pullman to appear at Ensenada as
witness. Pullman went there Friday
and was Immediately arrested aud
lodged in Jail charged with kidnapping
Whitman. 1t is stated that warrants are
also out for tho arrest of Under Sheriffs
Grenshaw and Tillburnes on the same
charge, but there is no likelihood that
they will be served. Pullman is an
American citizen, and has placed his case
in the hands of United States Vice
Consul Godbe of Ensenada.
