POLICE AVERT
BOY’SSEIZURE
SEATTLE. Dec. 14.—i—On the
eve of the planned kidnaping of
John Von Herberg. 16-year-old son
of J. G. Von Herberg. Pacific
nortliwest theater magnate author-
ities arrested a middle-aged man
at Everett the alleged ring leader.
Taken into custody Tuesday night
at that city his identity was care-
fully shielded. Chief of Detectives
Luke 8 May said the man claimed
to be the former managing editor
of an eastern newspaper.
He was rushed here to Jail late
yesterday before more than halt
a dozen persons were aware of the
existenoe of the plot against the
youth a Junior at Franklin High
school.
May said the man told the details
of the plan and disclosed the
Identity of several others allegedly
implicated.
The vigilance of Franklin high
school teachers and pupils was
credited by the detective with
thwarting the plot. The first inti-
mation the officers had of the
intended crime was when they were
informed a stranger had been mak-
ing inquiries about Von Herberg
of his school mates on Monday.
Authorities were in somewhat of
a quandary on what action to take
against the man they sak)
T dont know yet what charge
we can file.” Deputy Prosecutor
William J. Wilkins declared. “It is
a very peculiar situation in that
I no threats were made and wo crime
I committed. The officers moved
| with such efficiency that they naa
broken up the plot before anything
hapjjened.’'
