KIDNAPPING HAS

He is avail able to police.

 Comley indicated he was dissat' isfied with the way police handled the case in that they acted too hastily.

reaped large profits for six years while virtually holding in bondage illiterate mountaineers. The rings operations have been marked by murder and wholesale corruption of law enforcement officers, it was alleged.
 The ring survived prohibition but now faces dissolution. The 1h- roads of it's illicit product on gov- ernment tax revenue was said to be considerable. The federal govern ment has determined to smash bootlegging and collect maximum taxes from the liquor trade.
 Corn Whiskey Center
 Center of the rings operations is Franklin county, which has been famous for its mountain corn whiskey for a century. It was cited in the Wickersham commission's $ prohibition report of 1881 as the worst county in the nation for illicit distilling.

Moderr, Eden Island l. Turned To Tragedy
tcontinusd from Page iD

paper man, and Prof Martin Voegeli, German scientist, arr rived here and said that the dis appearance of the ouple last March was reported by Rudolph Lorenz, who accompanied the bar oress and Philippsohn to the islands.
 The baroness, who once had a curio shop in Paris, and her male companions, made their home on Charles or Floreana Island, where lived two couples of self-exiled Germans. One couple was the Witt mers, tentatively identified as those found dead: the other Dr Karl Rit- ter and Frau Dore Koerwin of Ber- lin.
 Blomberg and voegeli said that Lorenz first told the Wittmers of the disappearance of his com panions and then. after giving them the couples possessions, left on a Norwegian yacht, presumably for GuayaQuil.
 What may be a double tragedy in the supposed disappearance of two couples leaves Dr Ritter and Frau Koerwin king and queen of the island. They went there five years ago.
 Ritter was a physician and want ed to test his theories on the value of raw food and to study the effect of sun rays. His wife would not go, Frau Koerwin's husband would not accompany her. So Dr Ritter and Frau Koerwin went together. Be- fore they left Ritter had all his teeth pulled and fitted with stain less steel teeth. They have avoided other couples and, apparently hap. py. have shown no inclination to leave the island.

his lips from the grand jury. Richards was slain six miles from Rockymount, county seat of Franklin county, the night of Oct. 12 as he was bringing a negro prisoner to thet county jail. H s body was riddled with buckshOt and .45 caliber revolver bullets.
 The negro with him was killed, apparently to prevent him from identifying the murderers. In the windshield of Richards automo- bile, this correspondent counted 20 bullet holes. Big city gangsters could not have performed more thorough job.
 Attorney Mentioned The only name mentioned in court thus far bearing on the Franklin county ring is that of wealth's attorney or court prose- cutor.
 During triad of minor case in county court, Tom Cundiff, we'll known as a moonshiner in tn e mountains, while under oath on the witness stand publicly accused Lee of taking money for protec- ton. Lee denied the assertion and Cundiff was sent to jail for 10 days for contempt of court. Shortly after he served 10 days on that charge, Cundiff was ar- rested by county authorities on an assault charge, tried and sentenced to three years Imprisonment.
 On Sept. 17 he broke out of the Franklin county jail at Rocky mount. Some say he took the des- perate chance because he feared for his life at Rockymount. The | fact that he surrendered peace- fully to treasury agents three | days later near the town of Huddleston in the adjoining county appears to support that theory. As Cundiff was county prisoner, the federal officers had to return him to Rockymount, but they have kept constant watch on the jail and Cundiff will be an | important witness before tho grand jury at Harrisonburg.
 Fifty in the Ring The number of persons involv- ed in the moonshine' conspiracy may range close to 50.
 investigation indicates the rings organization on big business basis goes back to 1928.
 It is said that individual opera tors of small stills back in the mountains were required to pay from $10 a month upward. If they did not, they would go back in the ravines some morning to ind their still destroyed.
 In devious other ways, some of the small moonshiners charge, most of the profit was squeezed Thn rifn gained a virtual monopoly on the distribution of the county's moon shine. All the liquor had to go through its hands and little of the nrofit got back to those outside the inner circle.
 Small Stills Pooled The output of hundreds Of small stills scattered through the noun tains of the area is pooled with that of sizeable plants operated by those allegedly on the inside | in the plot. At central points sometimes an ordinary appearing filling station, the liquor is loaded l in fast cars to be sped to cities sometimes hundreds of miles dis tant.
 one hundred gollons is the aver age load for the swift, small cars now largely used. Previously, ae- cerding to residents of the section | 1t was not uncommon to see trucks rumb1ing down the road tarpaulins Tapping loosely over q a heavy load of five-gallon tins et moonshine.
 It is unlikely that exact figures on the extent of the illicit liqual traffic out of Franklin county ever can be compiled. Some indica- ton Of it can be gained, however from these facts:

s4yed remnants of the mamal were Mund. But there was no water. ~It was believed they fought thirst for days before succumbing. The man died first. This was attested by the fact his body was dragged undor the lee of the boat and cov- ered with articles of his mates clothing. His head was pillowed on Ter coat. A strip of the lining was carefully laid over his face.
 Woman Was Heroine
 &Her heroism ended, the woman dragged herself out of sight of the 6ody and died. Her body was clad 0nly in lingerie. ' A weather-beaten rag fiuttered from a crudely constructed flag pole which was jammed in crew. ice of a lava formation. It was this distress signal that supposedly at- t4Acted a landing party from the Tuna clipper.
 Letters Gave Clue
 A bundle of letters found near the bodies gave clue to their identity. Several were signed by Margaret Wittmer. A German pass r5ort, found in the mans coat, car- ried the name of Alfred Rudolph Lorenz of Paris, France. Lorenz had been a fellow-exile on Charles Island but, according to Hancock, returned to France some time ago. Hancock also said the mans body did not fit the description of the rarisian.
 Additional proof that the victim was not Lorenz was contained in another letter signed by Mrs Witt rner. Addressed to a friend in Ger man, 1t stated in part:
 s''I must hurry this letter through because Mir Lorenz is waiting in the sloop to take the mall to Santa Maria Island to be transferred to san Cristobal island.
 May Be Wrong Couple
 United Press dispatches from Guayaquil, Ecuador. said the bodies may be those of the Baron ess Eloisa Bosquet De Wagner Wehrborn formerly of Vienna and Robert Philippsohn, other colonists on Charles Island, but this was doubted by Hancock.
 q had word from pr Fredericy Hitter (another colonist) that the Baroness and Philippsohn left the island for the south seas early last summer" he said. "The same let ter also indicated that Lorenz had left the island"
 As Hancock reconstructed the grim tragedy, the Wittmers left Charles Island to find Lorenz on one of the other islands.
 Hancock is reconditioning his yacht for a trip to the South Seas, With party of Smithsonian Insti- tufion scientists. he will sail later this week directly for the Galapa- H0s Islands. -.

 From Tennessee where he was touring with Mir Roosevelt. Secre- tary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes sent word that if Sllas Strawn were now willing to cooperate with the New Deal, the present is the first evidence of any such inclination. Strawn, previously a bitter anti New Dealer, is chairman or the chambers armistice committee.
 President Is Willing
 MT Roosevelt proceeded with his Tennessee valley exploration which is a propaganda effort of the most effective type in behalf of govern- ment ownership and opreationn of power utilities. It is to be ex- pected, however, that MT Roosevelt will cordially welcome the cham ber's plan for the cooperation of business in recovery.
 But Mir Roosevelt may balk at any later proposal to curb New Deal experiments--especially such one as IVA involving electric power---in exchange for business cooperation. It appears logical. however. that in offering coopera- ton with recovery, the business industrialist segment of the popu- iation might expect some conces- sions by the White House. That Is what organized labor fears.
