Nogales international., 1935-11-16


That sums UP in a nutshell an
incident here Wednesday evening
in which a prominent Tucson busi-
ness man-K. P. Enlows-manager
of the Tucson office of The Nor
ris Plan, loan company, was pick
ed up on a downtown street and
jailed by two policemen, undoubt-
edly under orders from Mayor An
drew Bettwy.
Enlows had replevined Bettwy's
new Hupmobile car short time
before he was arrested.
Bettwy had purchased the car in
Tucson a few months ago (notwith-
standing Nogales has several auto
mobile agencies). The car was
bought from Cliff Ames, Tucson
Hup dealer, and Ames sold the
paper or conditional sales con-
tract to The Morris Plan.
Bettwy became delinquent in his
payments and The Morris Plan
MANAGER came down here to get the
car He obtained the necessary re-
plevin papers from the office of the
clerk of the superior court and
they we're turned over to the sher-
iff's office.
Undersheriff Dave Wilkey went
after the car about 4:45. It was
standing in front of the Mayors Of
flee at the city hall The keys were
gone. Wilkey got a "wrecker" from
the White Front Garage and pro-
ceeded to jack up the auto.
AS the car was being made ready
for its trip to the garage, a police
man came out and asked that it
not be taken away until the Mayor
could be reached.
Car Is Taken
The Mayor came over shortly and
then it was taken away but not un-
til Andy had given Wilkey and the
two Tucsonans 'royal cussing".
"You - -, you'll never leave
tbs town., he shouted, in the pre-
sence of men. women and children
attracted to the scene by the Incl
dent.
About As minutes after Andy had
lost his car, Enlows and Dick Bel
ton of Tucson, a son of Sheriff
John Bolton of Pima county who
had accompanied En1ows here, we're
driving down Grand avenue enroute
to Tucson.
The police car drove up beside the
pair and Enlows was placed under
arrest by Policemen Louis Fleicch
ar. Jr.. and Harry Drewin, on ?
charge. it s said, of "collectin0
without a license.
Shortly after Enlows had beer
taken to the city Jail. Attorney E
r. Thurman, representing The Nor
ris Plan. and who is also county at
torney of Santa Cruz county, came
to the police station and tried to
Get Enlows released.
Mayor Bettwy, although he has
no such authority under the law.
ordered Enlows' bond fixed at ST.
nm and later reduced it to $500.
After being held in custody an hour
or so. Enlows gave a $500 check as
bond and got his release.
Asked at the police station by a
representative of the Nogales IN
ternational on what charge Elbows
was being held, before he gave bono,
Bettwy said: II don't know what
the charge is but he's in jail any
how.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Thursday
morning, Enlows, accompanied by
Attorney James v. Robins and Mr..
Bolton appeared before Police Judge
Phil Herold Robins explained that
if a hearing was to be held Elbows
wanted time enough to get The
Morris Plan attorney here from
Phoenix.
Nothing On File
There is nothing on file in this
court and the only thing I know is
what I read in this mornings s
STAR, said Judge Herold. Then En-
lows. Robins and Bolton left.
From an authoritative source The
International learned that The
Morris Plan intended to bring suit
against the City of Nogales,j Mayor
Bettwy, and the police department
on the grounds that Enlows was
falsely arrested.
GETS CAR BACK
Bettwy got his car back yesterday
by paying in $160 to The Morris
