TRIO HELD
ON CHARGE
OF RIOTINC
Alex Merchant Spirited into Country
and Threatened with Old Fashion
ed Hanging, Petition Filed
Alleges.

J. M. Gipson, B. b. Carnes and j.
H. Stanfield, all of Alex, were neld
under $4,000 bond each when arraign-
ed this morning before Justice Bun
nell on charges of rioting. Prelimi-
nary hearing is set for November l..
All made the required bonds,
1t is set out in the petition filed,
that the three defendants used force
and violence against w G. jain, an
Alex merchant, and armed with pis-
tolls and a shot gun took jain in an
auto several miles in the country,
out of Alex, and placing a rope
around his neck threatened to hang
him, and that they continued at such
practice until jain was rescued by
officers and citizens.
Reports state that the three men
went to his home in Alex last night
and told jain that they wanted to
buy some gasoline, that he went to
the store with them, at which point
they loaded him into the car and
transported him into the country.
Word of the escapade being noised
about the village, a searching party
was soon formed. Statements are
to the effect that when the rescuers
approached the place where the
three men had jain in custody, they
were told to stand back, the trio
showing firearms to back up their
commands After the rescuing party
withdrew, Gipson. Carnes and Stand
field brought their prisoner back to
Alex
Statements are vague as to the
possible motive. Some hold to the
theory that jain is OF German de-
scent. and that possible utterances
by jain early in the present war,
but which were later said to have
been fully retracted by him, were re-.
sponsible for the. affair The men
are said to have been partially un-
der the influence Of intoxicants.
