New York, June 3.-Chief McClusky |
was asked last night as to the number
of persons he believed to be involved |
in the Marion Clark kidnapping plot |
He said he believed there were only
three persons involved-the man Will
son, who has since been identified as
G.. Beanregard Barrow, his wife and
the nurse girl, Carrie Jones. He de-
clined to discuss the questions as to
the probable motive of the conspira-
tors, saying that there were many
points to be cleared up before he could
answer that. 1t was apparent to him,
the captain said, that there was no
possible doubt that the persons now in
custody were the guilty ones.
Chief McClusky and Detective Arm
strong went to Nyack yesterday to see
Sheriff Blauvelt and secure, if possible,
the transfer of the prisoners. The
sheriff refused to surrender the pris
oners, the Rockland county authori
ties deciding that they had jurisdiction
| in the matter under the provision of
the code, which says that kidnaper
may be arrested, tried and convicted In
a county where the crime of kidnapping
| is committed, or in any county where
| the kidnaper is caught with the child,
or in any county where the kidnaper
may live. Having heard the text or
the code read by the district attorney
Chief McClusky conceded the right un-
der the provision named for the Rock
land county authorities to hold the
prisoners for trial.
