California Attorney Says Charge
Against Ford Is Absurd.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 25-Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Frederioks of Los
Angeles when informed of the arrest of
Attorney Ford in Indianapolis on a charge
of kidnapping. said THE arrest of Ford
is an absurdity and nothing can come
of it except a little delay. He is not an
arresting officer anyway. He went to
Indianapolis to collect evidence and to
see that the papers in the cases were all
right. The extradition papers under
which the prisoners are being brought to
Los Angeles were duly executed and
signed by the governors of both states.
There can be no flaw in the case so
far as that is concerned, and as to the
warrant and removal from Indianapolis
why. Ford had nothing to do with it. tie
