COUP FREES DENVER
K|DNAP PRISONER
Police and Newspaper Lead
Bower Captors to Suspect
TreaChery Among Selves.
By the Associated Press.


DENVER, January 25-Return of
BENJAMIN P. Bower from a mountain
cabin, in which kidnapers held him
five days, was followed quickly today
by revelation of a coup, whereby police
and a newspaper tricked the gangsters
into suspecting each other of treachery
and thus broke up the pot to extort
$4,000 from Bowers family.
Bower, 62-year-old Denver bakery
manager, was taken by motor car to
West Denver and released early yes
terday. His eyes were covered with
adhesive tape, which he was instructed
to wear until he could no longer hear
the motor of the kidnapers' car.
In a copyrighted article the Rocky
Mountain News revealed it had pub
Tshed last Saturday morning false
note, written by Police Chief Albert T
clark and purporting to have been re-
ceiyed by Mrs. Bower from the
kidnapers. to create suspicion IN the
minds of the gangsters.
Different Place Given.
Although almost identical with one
written by Bower to his vile Frloay'
the note differed in designation OF a
pIace of rendezvous for the payment OF
the ransom. .l.r
indicating one of the members
probably the 'pay-of man. had oestroy-
ed the original, substituting the nc mCtl-
tious, in an effort to grab the Soo,ooo.
The desired result was achieved ana
Bower was released as result OF the
note the News said. 1t reported there
were four men in the gang, mcluolng
the chief" w.. o,s
In the same artacle the News Salo
that Mrs. Bower, in answering bower ;
note had driven to the Denver nome OF
,Josenh p. Roma and delivered noIe
tn Roma as directed. 1t also said she
delivered another such note to a man
named Smaldone. Both men, the news
said. accepted the notes for oenVery 10
Mr.. Bower in his captivity.
THE News further stated that, after
accentance of the note by Roma, Chlei
clark called Roma to his home and
told him he would hold him personally
responsible for Bowers safety, ana that
Bower was released soon afterWaro.
Neither Roma nor Smaldone mao
been arrested early today. Bower is De.
ing kept under heavy police guard at
his home because of threat mace oy
one of his captors as ne was oelns
released.
You'd better get that $50,000 to-
pether because we'll be back to see you
In a day or two" Bower said ne was
told.
Joyous at his escape from the gang
which dragged him from his home last
Tuesday night. Bower said the tape was
never taken from his eyes save for a
brief moment when he wrote short
letter to his wife at dictation of. the
men who guarded him.
They fed me ham and eggs, straw
berry jam and bread" he said. 1T was
dark all the time and the place was
warm, SO I slept They treated me
civilly and didn't harm me in any way"
The News said it was reliably in
formed that not one cent Of the $4,000
demanded by Mr.. Bowers abductors
has been paid and not y cent will be
