thrown on the bed Winthrop took $305
in coin from his pockets and kept it.
The younger man, as far as Campbell
knows, did not get any of this money.
The article regarding Campbell's
disappearance, as published in We'd
nesday mornings Chronicle, seems to
have frightened Winthrop. The vic
tim overheard him say to the younger
man that he feared he was suspected
and intended to go to Mexico. He
| told the masked man to watch Camp
bell until Thursday evening and then
to give up the job and release him in
case he did not sign the check for
100000 before that time. Winthrop
then disappeared.

after turning out the gas and darken-
ing the house the younger man un-
bound Campbell and went out of the
house with him the back way to Cal
but pulled his collar about his face.
AS it was dark Campbell could not
see his features.
The man walked with Campbell sew
eral blocks along Third avenue al
most to the Geary-street car line.
| When a car came in sight the man
handed Campbell a nickel and told
him he was free. Campbell, faint and
weak from his experience, staggered
| to the car and came down town. He
got off at Kearney street about 0
O'Clock and walked down Market to
Montgomery and down Montgomery
toward the Occidental Hotel. Just
outside the hotel he met Fred Wun-
denberg, formerly of Hawaii. Wun-
denberg took him Immediately to his
room. Mrs. Campbell tainted with
joy at seeing her husband.
In Campbell's room at the time of
his arrival were Governor Freeth of
one of the guano islands and c. w.

entered Ashford rushed out and going
to the telephone sent message that
brought Lees, Curtin and three other
