tempt to secure the extradition from
Arizona of L. B. Adams the New York
capitalist who is accused of attempt
ing to kidnap his 8 year old son, the
San Francisco police department. is
seeking fresh evidence upon which to
base requisition proceedings With
made in this city today to secure proof
that an offense was committed by the
capitalist in Santa Clara county which
would make him amenable to extra
dition for an entirely different crime
than that named in the original accu-
sation.
The original charge of child steal
ing was brought by Adams wife and
mother in law, Mrs. John S. Kimba1l,
of San Francisco.
1t was learned recently that Adams
the nurse and the boy stopped at the
Hotel Vendome in this city Immediately
after the kidnapping was alleged to
have occurred, and the district attor-
ney of Santa Clara county was re-
quested by the police of San Francisco
to investigate the manner in which
they lived, and more particularly
Adams conduct toward the nurse.
With this object in view the house
maids and some OF the servants in the
Hotel Vendome were closely questioned
today by Assistant District Attorney

The statements were to the effect
that Adams and the nurse occupied
adjoining rooms at the hotel with a
door between them. The district at
torney's Office stated tonight that there
was not sufficient evidence upon which
to base charge and that warrant
could not be secured in this county.
