The latest threat against Williams
and his business also included one of
his travelling statesmen. 1t occurred
early Tuesday evening when the sales
man, W. J. Elder, who makes Craw-
ford county for the firm, was held up
and robbed near Cherokee. The rob-
berry was performed, it was said, by a
man and a boy, both foreigners, who
after taking SIS from Elder, demand
ed to know whether or not he was
Williams's son.
When informed that he was not,
Elder was told he was lucky, since
they had intended to kill him if he
was any relation to the district attor-
eny, and would kill him anyway if he
continued very much longer in Will
iams's employ.
I'VE intend to kill Williams and if

In a long distance telephone mes
sage to Williams Wednesday, Elder
said he had seen the man several
times before around RingO and would
easily recognize him. The pair fol-
lowed him out of Girard late Tuesday
afternoon when Elder started south
for Columbus, and when a short dis
tance south of the Crawford county
line, they passed him and sped ahead,
when they stopped suddenly and
swung their car across the road. Not
suspecting a holdup, Elder stopped
his car and inquired if there was any
trouble. The man replied by draw
ing a revolver and demanding that Ell
der turn over the collections he had
made for his firm during the day. Ell
der had turned this money over to a
bank in Girard before he left but was
forced to give up SIS of his own
money. Then, after giving him the
