False Arrest Suit
Filed In Court

An action charging false arrest
was filed at the county clerk s of
flee this morning by s. II. Oyama
against M. Kamiya, NJ. Hirano and
L. Kubo.
In the complaint the plaintiff
sets forth that previous action
Was filed in the superior court here
by Kamiya against the plaintiff in
the present ease. An affidavit was
fled by w. s. Nakamura, bookkeep-
or for Kamiya, in which Oyama was
accused of preparing to leave the
country and go to Japan and that
he had planned to go for the purpose
of .defrauding the plaintiff in the
previous civil proceeding. AS a re-
suit of this affidavit and a warrant
issued at the instance of kamiya,
Oyama was arrested in San Fran
cisco and detained in jail there.
Later he was detained in jail at
Los Angeles, but finally obtained
his release under bond.
Oyama holds that the arrest was
made maliciously and that the per-
sons causing the arrest knew well
that he had no intention of defraud-
ing the plaintiff Kamiya.
As result he asks damages of
$4,000 from Kamiya and $500 each
from NJ. Hirano and r. kubo, the
latter two having signed an under
taking for the order of arrest in the
case.
