Unclaimed by Band
Which Made Bold Snatch
(Copyright, 1935, by the Associated
Press)
HAVANA. Cuba, June 8. (AP) A
messenger sent to kidnapers of Anto
nio Ban Miguel, Cuban multi-mllllon-alre.
with $286,000 In rausom money
returned late today without making
contact with the band.
HAVANA, Cuba. June 8. AP) The
kidnapers of Antonio San Miguel,
aged but fighting Cuban miltionaire,
made a bold attempt today to con
tact San Miguel's attorney. Pedro
Herrera Sotolongo, with the million
aire's own valet.
The valet, Simon Arleta, was seized
yesterday evening with two other ser
vants when San Miguel was captured.
Today he showed up at Sotolongo's
home with a letter from the kid
napers. Police took him Into cus
today at once, however, and seized
the letter.
They refused to say where they are
holding Arleta or what the letter
contained.
It Is rumored that the kidnapers,
who made their capture while posing
as mango peddlers, have demanded
(500,000 ransom, but Sotolongo de
nied this.
San Miguel, 78-year-old former sen
ator and newspaper publisher, was
seized shortly before dark yesterday
while being driven to his luxurious
country home In the Vlbora suburb.
The abductors also carried off his
bodyguard, Modesto Ingleslas; his
chauffeur, Constantino Prteto, ana
his valet.
Two children, a 14-year-old bo
and his 11-year-old sister, the only
witnesses, told authorities the kld--napers
used a wagon piled high with
mangoes to mask their activities.
"We saw a wagon load of mangoes
Alongside the road with five peddlers
around it," related the boy, Paul
Garazo.
"As Senor San Miguej's automobile
drove up near the wagon, another
automobile In front of the wagon
pulled out and blocked the road.
"Three men Jumped out of the car
and the five men from the mango
wagon Joined them. They forced
Senor San Miguel's chauffeur to move
over and took his automobile.
"They put Senor San Miguel and
one or two others into their car and
both cars drove away.
"When they seized the men In the
San Miguel car we saw them choking
Senor San Miguel and his friends."
The children were placed under po
lice guard.
More than 500 police and soldiers,
armed with machine guns, revolvers
and rifles, were called out at once
and ordered to bcour the entire city
and its suburbs.
A reliable Informant said the mil
lionaire received a letter some time
ago threatening htm with kidnaping
unless he paid a sum of money. He
was said to have complied with the
demand.

"Controlled Condensation"
Developed by Hiram Walker
Assures Uniform Gin Flavor
300-Year-old Gin
Problem Solved
For more than 300 years people have
wondered why gin should be smooth
one time and not so smooth the next.
Vou yourself, for example, have often
mixed your favorite cocktail, using
the same proportions as usual, with
out getting the same results as usual.
Neither you nor your recipe is to
blame it's the gin. For, contrary to
popular belief, good gin is the most
difficult liquor in the world to make!
Juniper berries, coriander seed, sweet
orange peel and other essential gin
ingredients, vary in flavor not only
from each other but also from
themselves!
Nobody Need Ever
Complain Again!
For 300 years, all that the finest gin
formula could do was to control the
proportions of the ingredients . . .
but Hiram Walker's "C. C." Process
actually controls the flavor varia
tions of these ingredients! It elimi
nates the danger of any one flavor
"running wild" and coming through
too strong!
This remarkable "C. C." Process, in
use since the opening of Hiram
Walker's Peoria distillery, a year
ago, enables you to buy, mix, serve
and taste a gin so smooth and so per
fectly balanced, that nobody need
ever complain of variations in flavor.
For Hiram Walker has added to the
No 'up and down' flavor" says
Fred Roth, Hotel Roosevelt,
New York,
world's most famous formula for fla
vor, the world's most important proc
ess for uniformity.
No Extra Cost to You
Hiram Walker's London Dry Gin is
distilled from grain spirits a very
important distinction to remember in
gin. And the "C. C." Process is an
assurance of flavor perfection day in
and day out, in the bottle you buy
any day! It will pay you to insist
upon this world-famous gin it costs
no more.
