CLAIM PROMISE
Of ADDITIONAL
PAYMENT
Two Letters to Canadian
Garry Death Threat Unless
Sum Is Received

LONDON, Ont, Sept. 7 O.N.S0
In open defiance of the mobilized
strength of Canadian law enforce
ment services, John Labatt's
abductorS have struck again.
Over the signature of Three
Fingered Abe" who signed the
original ransom demand, they
have sent second and third let
ter to Mr.. Labatt at London.
They charge that he has broken
his Solemn promise and made
over a meal" to pay $25,0 after
his release, demand fulfillment OF
the pledge, and in their third
message threaten that if he fails
he will "get a belly full of lead"
Receipt of the letters has
spurred police to intensity their
efforts in both ontario and Mich
igan, and is said to be the motive
for q reward offer due for an
nouncement by the Ontario gov
ernment today.
Labatt's Story Barred
Scraps of information gathered
from a variety of sources furnish
a mosaic amounting to John
Labatt's own story of the amaz-
ing crime.
Standing out is the probability
that the Labatts have paid no
ransom money, but that the re-
lease at Toronto was arranged
on a promise to hand over $25,-
600, half in American and hall
in Canadian money, at a Toronto
hotel on the day following the
temperance of the kidnapped
brewer.
Louis McCaughey, of London,
sales manager for the Labatt
company, was agreed upon as the
contact man.
The recent threat letter, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Labatt, was printed
with lead pencil in block letters,
oS had been the original ransom
note left under the seat of the alb
Quoted mans automobile. The
letter was very brief, couched in
the good English of an educated
man, and restated the kidnapers'
demand for $4,000 in Sternest
terms. Mr.. McCaughey again was
named contact man, and a new
rendezvous at Windsor was COM
Inanded.
Police Deceived
This informant states that,
while Mr.. Labatt was held pris-
oner, police and newspaper men
watched in vain over Hugh La
bats suite at the Royal York Ho-
tel in Toronto, while Hugh actu-
ally was treating with the kidnap-
ers from quarters secretly set up
on the second floor of another
hotel. A few hours before John
Iabatt's release Hugh Labatt is
reported to have accepted advice
to pay $4,000 in cash and to take
q chance on recovering some of
the money with the capture of the
criminals.
Regardless of what is in the
background, the demand in the
Windsor letter is for $4,000.
The Labatts decided to pay up.
Directions were issued to a
Windsor bank to prepare the cash
in Canadian and American notes
as demanded. Operatives of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
learned what was happening, and,
according to an informant, inter-
cepted two bank messengers on
the street in Windsor, and forced
them to return to the bank with
the money, under threat of prose-
cution for abetting a crime.
The breakdown of this attempt
ct a payoff provoked a third let
ter in which Mr.. Labatt is berated
for talking" and the threat is
made against his life.
