The Ross kidnapping case is being
bad for the defendants. The prelim-
mary was begun at 2 o'clock yester.
day afternoon before a crowd of men
and women which well filled the dis.
trict court room.
After the complaint had been read
to the defendants, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
j. Ross, Tina Haas was called to the
Hshrdl MISUNDERSTANDING
stand by the state. Before she was
allowed to testify Attorney Philbrick
stated that the defense demurred to
the complaint on the ground that it
did not state facts sufficient to con-
situate a public offense. He also ask
the court to exclude all witnesses for
both sides from the room excepting
the time that they occupied the wit
ness stand. Assistant States Attorney
Anger objected to the exclusion of
the complaining witness, John Haas.
Judge Gilbert, however, decided that
all witnesses should be excluded and
they then occupied another room.
Tina appeared on the stand re-
markably bright and intelligent wit
ness. She said that the Rosses had
told her she should go to aKnsas, 60
to school there and live with them
as long as she wanted to. That Law
renee Grow bought her a ticket to
st. Paul and also gave her $40 in cash.
Ross had given her piece of paper,
she said, to hand to the ticket agent
at st. Paul, who would then give her
I a ticket to Kansas City on payment
Of the price of said ticket. After wait
ing for three hours in st. Paul, where
she ate a lunch consisting of bread

IS ARRESTED
He Got $500 From Indicted
Banker But the Bills
We're Marked
Claims Money Was for Legal
Services Was State
| Official

New York, N. Y. March Nathan
Vidayer, a special deputy attorney
general was arrested today charged
with attempting extortion. Action
was brought by District Attorney
Jerome, who alleges that Vidaver,
by threats, got $500 from William
Montgomery, formerly president of
the Hamilton bank and now under
indictment on charges of over certifi-
cation. @
Montgomery and Vidaver lunched
together at the Astor house today
and during the meal in fulf1lment of
a prearranged plan, five one-hundred
dollar bills were passed by the in
dicted banker, it is alleged, to the
deputy attorney general. The bills
had been marked and were subse-
quently identified by detectives who
made affidavit to having witnessed
the transaction.
Montgomery complained to the dis
trict attorneys Office that he had
been frequently approached with un-
lawful proposals relative to the sup
preston of activities by the attor-
ney generals Office as to the investi-
cation of the Hamilton bank. The
indicted banker further complained
that his efforts to resume the bank
ing business furnished an opportun-
ity for the attempted extortion.
When arranged in court, Vidaver
declared his arrest was an outrage
and said the $500 received was a re-
tainer for the prospective and proper
legal services. He said also that he
met Montgomery at the request of
Moses H. Grossman of the law firm of
House Grossman & Vorhaus.
The deputy was held in $4,000
bail for hearing tomorrow. His bail
bond was furnished by Grossman,
who, with his partner, vorhaus, was
Immediately afterwards subpoenaed
