TlLL0TSON IS HERE.
His Attorney Appears at the Sherifrs
Office.

F. H. Tillotson, the manager of the
Kansas City private detective agency
whose arrest in connection with the
Bleal<ley kidnapping case, was made to-
day, is supposed to be in Topeka
awaiting the efforts of his attorney,
Mr.. E. T. Wright, of Kansas City, to
make a deal with the county officials.
Attorney Wright has called on Sheriff
Norton, who referred him to County
Attorney Schenck. AS soon as Tillot-
son heard that a warrant had been
issued for him in Topeka, he disap-
peared from his office, presumably
coming to Topeka to give himself up.
Tillotson is charged with being q
party to the kidnapping scheme and
furnishing Joe Gentry. his assistant,
to do the job. Mrs. Barclay is said
to have made her arrangements for
the kidnapping through Tillotson
He has been in constant communi-
cation with her and has furnished her
all reports for the past four years con-
corning the condition of the child.
Attorney Wright claims that Tillotson
has had nothing to do with the kid
naping itself.
