At Liberty; Former Wanted
Also for Iowa Staying

The two principal fugitives in the
nation wide kidnap ring which
has exacted tribute Of more than
100000 from its victims today
were revealed by authorities as be-
ing John ("Handsome JackD
Klutas, a man of many aliases,
and his partner, Eddie La Rue.
Melvin H. Purvis, head Of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
here, disclosed that Klutas, a per-
sonable man, about IS, is wanted
for a wanton murder in Washing
ton, Iowa, on June 20, 1880.
On that occasion, according to
Government information, he had
been arrested for violating prohi-
bition laws and was being led to
Jail by the sheriff and a deputy.
One gun had been taken from
him, but KlutaS had another
weapon up his sleeve and en- route
he produced it, killed both his
guards and escaped.
Polite Killers
La Rue, his partner, was in
dicted in 1880 under the motor
vehicle theft act.
In describing the kidnapping
gang today, one Government
agent declared:
"Au these men have the ap-
pearance of being Super-edu-
Gated. They are all extremely
polite. Take, for example, Ed
ward SOuder'S conversation
when I was trying to get infor-
nation from him. He told me
in these words: You will. I am
sure, appreciate my position and
the danger that 1 would place
myself in If I should reveal the
things you are asking me-"
Arrest Of Klutas was expected
momentarily, authorities said.

Barber" Factor, which netted $7O,-
600. These were only two of their
more spectacular kidnapings, Pur-
Wis declared.
State and Federal operatives
meanwhile were gathering in the
remnants Of a second gang of
abduction artists enlisted from the
Shelton gang Of down-State crimi-
mails and the Egans' Rats mob of
st. Louis.
This daring gang had even de-
fled the warnings of AL Capone,
underworld czar, in his heyday,
and took 100000 in ransom from
at least nine wealthy gamblers
and bootleggers in the Middle
West, authorities disclosed.
AL Capone, it was said, paid
over Lynch's $4,000 ransom at
the point of machine gun in a.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 25
UN.S0.-The internationally fa-
y nous Tom Mooney legal drama,
after another spectacular episode
in the California courts, today
was billed for the top spot" in
America-The United States Su-
preme Court in Washington.
Frank P. Walsh. New York law
yer and chief of MONEYS defense
battery, was on his way East by
alrplane to prepare the way for
the Mooney case to be presented
before the highest tribunal in an
other effort to free Mooney from
San Quentin prison, where he is
serving a life sentence for par
;t1cipation in the 1915 Prepared
mess day bombing horror here.
New Pardon Plea
And as an auxiliary enterprise,
another application for a pardon
will be presented to Governor
James Rolph, jr., according to
MONEYS attorneys. But this
would seem more in the nature of
q gesture. Rolph, as have other
California governors since Moo
, ney's conviction, has turned
thumbs down already on a pardon.
Walsh apparently is headed for
q conference with Attorney John
F.. Finerty. of Washington, with
whom he talked by telephone be-
fore departing from San Francisco
last night.
After the conversation, Walsh
and Leo Gallagher, also of Moon
ey's staff, issued a statement that
Mooney will seek a writ of habeas
corpus from the high court. based
upon his perfunctory acquittal on
a murder charge here yesterday
and the consequent allegation
that he is being imprisoned in
violation Of the Federal Constitu-
tion. The statement said:
PERJURY BASIS
'"The application will be
grounded upon the charge that
the defendant was convicted
. upon perjured testimony and
that the district attorney at that
time and some of his assistants
and certain police officials had
full knowledge of the fraud
practiced upon Thomas ].
Mooney and actually cOnnived
