Wild RUMORS FLY
AS insult LEAVES
FORUNNAMEDPORT
Fugitive From American Justice
Said to Be Threatened
by kidnapers

Athens, March 10.-(R)-A rumor
that Samuel insult is at the mercy
CT g4ngsters who Slippad aboard his
little Greek freighter in Piraeus har-
Dor, aroused excitement in Athens
Monday.
It was said the gangsters intended
to kidnap the 74-year-old runaway
from American justice and hold the
former Chicagoan for ransom in Gre
tan caves or on islands nearby.
Commenting on this latest and
widest Of all the sensational stories
which accompanied insults most re-
cent escape on the sluggish vessel
Maiotis. police denied that any kid
napers could have boarded the ship
while 1t was in the Athens port.
Nevertheless, the gangster story was
widely played" in the Greek press.
Aside from this, there seemed no
foundation for the rumor other than
the Piraeus harbor masters an
nouncement that he had received no
messages from the ship in which In
sull Is bound for some unknown asy-
lum since o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The Associated Press attempted to
check the reports but received no re-
ply to wireless queries sent direct to
insult aboard the Maiotis.
Clears Greek Waters
Until she passed out of Greek ter
ritorial waters, the vessel chartered
by insult was ordered to communicate
regularly with the port Of Piraeus.
Early Monday, officials announced
the Maiotis had reported she was
clearing these waters and would no
longer be heard from.
No neWSpapermen are known to
have boarded the Maiotis at Piraeus,
but nevertheless two Greek newspa-
pers Monday printed what they
claimed was an exclusive interview
with insult.
II I return to America they would
kill me. It is the well-known mania
with which the American government
has pursued me. have many friends
in America and also many enemies, y
insult was quoted as saying.
It was believed he was bound for
AbySsinia and that he would find
refuge there from the indictments re-
turned against him In Cook county,
Illinois, when his public utilities en-
pire crumbled about his own and hum
dreds Of thousands Of stockholders
heads.
Should Abyssinia be the destination,
the immediate port OF the well-pro-
visioned Maiotis would be Port Said,
at the mouth of the Suez canal.
Reports from the master Of the
MaiotiS indicated she was chugging
along at about 10 knots. This
would indicate that the vessel should
reach Port Said, about 700 miles from
Piraeus, late Tuesday or early Wed
nesday. It is 1000 miles from Port
Said to Djibouti, down the Red Sea.
Mrs. insult planned Monday t.
leave soon for Marseilles, France.
