I asked what he wanted and he replied that he wished to sue me on personal business. I hesitated and he repeated that It was very Important and personal business which he could not discuss over the tele phone. . I suspected that it was a trap arul told Mr. Cobb so. He said of course It was a trap, but I determined to see Just what It was and told them to leave word for Rudolph Spreckels when he came In that. If I was not back soon, they would know what was doing. After leaving Mr. Heney's office I no ticed that two automobiles were fol lowing me on Van Ness avenue. They dashed to the curb and four men Jumped out of one of them? A war rant was thrust Into my race and I was told that It was from Los Ange'es. "I protested that I wanted to see my attorney about It, but they would not let me. The four men had surrounded me and hustled me Into the automobile. In it were two deputy sheriffs and two others, one of whom I think was a Calhoun detective. In the other car were Messra. Ashe and Brown." Rushed Out of City.

"When they seized me on the side walk," said Mr. Older, "they marched .one to make sure that I had no weapons. In the automobile ihe man next to me thrust something which I supposed to be a revolver against my side and to'd me he would shoot If I made any dis turbance." Vlnally the captive was permitted to dictate a message to Rudolph Spreck els. He was .unaware of the habeas corpus proceedings until Santa Barbara was reached.
