Pleads Guilty in Chicago,
Eliminated in Tacoma
Boys Ransom.
BY REX COLLIER.

Volney Davis. companion of Alvin
Karpis and the notorious Barker
brother, Arthur and Fred. in the kid
naping of Edward G. Bremen. st.
Paul banker. today pleaded guilty TO
that crime shortly after disclosure by
]. Edgar Hoover that his men captured
him secretly in Chicago Saturday.
Davis thus was eliminated by the
bureau as suspect in the Weyer-
haeuSer case at Tacoma He was in
custody OF bureau agents at the time
witnesses reported seeing him in
Seattle.
Hoover said Davis was taken after
q slight unpleasantneSs." referring
apparently TO reports that Federal
agents were forced to use their guns
in subduing him. Davis was flown to
St Paul and promptly entered q
guilty plea when arraigned this morn
ing. Sentence will be deferred until
later in the week. but 1t was expected
he will receive the same sentence as
that of Arthur Doc" Barker and
other ringleaders in the Bremen crime
life imprisonment.
Second Time in Custody.
1t was the second time the Federal
investigators of the $500. 900 kidnapping
Of Bremen have taken Davis into Gus
today. The first time. last February
he escaped from two agents after
their plane had ben forced down on
farm near Yorkville, Ill.
Davis had been identified" by
Seattle residents as one of several
suspicious" persons who rented rooms
there. but left hurriedly after release
of the Weyerhaeuser boy early Satur-
day. 1t was impossible for Davis to
have reached Chicago in time TO be
arrested there by the Federal men.
Hoover declined to reveal circum-
stances surrounding the capture. His
men have been conducting a wide
hunt for Davis since his indictment in
the Bremen case, a search which was
intensified after his escape following
his first arrest in Kansas City, Mo.
At that time the agents were flying
him to Chicago. Weather conditions
compelled the pilot of the chartered
plane to land in a field. A farmer
drove the officers and their prisoner
to nearby Yorkville. where one of the
agents left to telephone his predica-
ment to Chicago. Davis. temporarily
unshackled to avoid attracting atten-
tion of townSpeople. dived through a
hotel window and fed into the night,
under a shower of bullets.
Helped Abduct Bremen.
Davis was accused by the bureau of
having been with Karpis so-called
public enemy No. l." and the Barker
brothers when they abducted Bremen
on January II, 1884. after he had
driven his daughter to school. Bremen
was held in hideout at Bensenville,
Ill, until 5000, 900 ransom was tossed
into a ditch in response to signal
lights flashed by the kidnapers. He
was released February near
Rochester, MINI.
Fred Barker and his mother, Ma"
Barker. were slain in a gun battle
with Hoover's agents near Miami,
Fla, several months ago. Arthur
Barker was captured later in Chicago
and is serving his life sentence at
Alcatraz Island Penitentiary. Karpis,
also mentioned in unofficial specula
tion as possible suspect in the
Tacoma abduction, fed from the
Miami hideout of the Barkers shortly
before it was raided and later was
