Bielaski "Framed'' His
Kidnaping, Mexicars Say
PAPERS in Capital Advance No
Eridence, Ho,ceuer, and His
Story Is Held D0nbf-PrOOt

MEXICO CITY. June 80 (By The
Associated Press l-Reviving memories
of the Kidnapping case of William 0.
Ienlins former American consular
agent at Puebla two years ago, several
local newspapers. which say that they
get their inspiration from oflclal
sources. now declare without equlvo-
cation that the abduction last SUNDAY
of A. Bruce Bielaski by Mexican pan
dts was accomplished at his own IN
stigation for purposes which may De
revealed later. They adduce nothihg 70
support this assertion. :,
This same charge, it was recalled 20
dav' was made against MIR. Jenkins, al
though an investigation OF MS case
failed to substantiate it.
"The Excelsior" says to-day it has
been Informed by a department OF the
Wexican government that "there is suf-
fcient data to cause the belief that the
Bielaski case has the earmarks OF
self-instigated abduction.
The newspaper says the Foreign o.
fee has made representations to TINS
effect in its answer to the note from
the United States Department Of State
asking for the apprehension and pun
;shment of Mr.. Bielaski's abductors.
Several newspapers quote Secretary
of War Serrano as saying that the case
ia surrounded with many curious and
mysterious incidents" and that COM
plete investigation has been ordered.
"El Heraldo," in discussing the ease,
declares: "Neither the authorities nor
the people of Morelos believe Bielaski
was kidnapped"
Despite these newspaper assertions
nersons who have talked to Mr.. Bic
Iaski since his return say they see no
discrepancies in his story. and at this
moment can see no possible motive for
self abduction. Mr.. Bielaski's friends
insist that "smoke screen OF doubt"
is being thrown about the incident with
the deliberate purpose of ohscuring the
real facts.
A.. E. Radert, an official Of Richm ond,
Levering & Co., 120 Broadway, of which
Mr.. Bielaski is president, yesterday
hotly denied the assertions of certain
Mexican papers that the former head
of the Bureau of Investigation OF the
Department of Justice had himself
framed his capture by bandits.
Radert accused papers publishing the
charge of seeking to discredit Bielaski
and absolve the Mexican government OF
responsibility for the affair.
