to Michigan.
The story behind the POSSIBLE

like fiction.
Klein, Johnston informed

dence gang headed by Floyd
Woodward. Woodward was ar
rested recently in California and
returned to Atlanta, where he
was charged with q $50, 900 mail
fraud, with conspiracy and with
leadership of the Atlanta bunco
ring that victimized at least
seven Atlanta residents in 1919.
Klein, meanwhile, was SUBJ
penaed at Gainesville, Ca, and
agreed to testify against his
chief.
But Woodward pleaded guilty
and was sentenced TO two years
and eight months for the mail
fraud, was given Q two-year SEN
tence in the conspiracy case and
received five years probation on
the bunco charge.
Woodward's guilty plea kept
Klein from testifying. Klein,
however. was arrested as he left

Atlanta at midnight Friday.
They were present when the
governor signed an extradition
warrant and later when the ha-

federates known as Black Mike

lieved to have murdered an &C.

gument over the division of

Klein's attorneys will charge
that his arrest was illegal, be-
cause he had been subpenaed
and was immune to arrest until
he returned to Gainesville.
Atlanta authorities are trying
to round up 20 witnesses be-
lieved to have knowledge of the

cessful, Johnston, acting for the
state Of Michigan, will waive his
claim to the prisoner, and Klein
