The clerk called the cash girl, wno iook the currency to the cashier, where It was hurriedly checked and found to agree with a ransom number.

Implicates Million Waley was picked up at a house where the couple had been living. He too broke last night and con feascd his part In the crime, the department of Justice said, impll eating Mahan. Following the announcement by J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the federal bureau of Investigation, of the cap ture of Waley and the woman, police of the northwest concentrat ed In & hunt for Mahnn.

Mahan was charged by the department of having at lrast three llanea, "William Mercll." "William I3a Inward." "William Morrell" and "William Dlnard." He was paroled In 1934 from a two to four year sentence for grand larceny. Former Convicts Both Waley and Mahan were re potted by Tra J.

Mahan is the son of the late Samuel Kainard and la a native or Kando, N. D. He was committed to the Idaho prison in the fall of 1B27 on a bank robbery conviction committed at Rathdrum, In the northern part of the state. He also won a parole. Weverhaeiner GraMMed "A damned fine piece of work." was the way J. p. Weyerhauaer, Jr.. father of the kidnap victim, de scribed the arrests here. He refined to permtt a statement from the boy when he was Interviewed at Ms luxurious home In Tacoma last night. "I'm Just a part of the big Amer ica n public In this cane.' Weyer haeuser said. "Apparently, by the papers. It was damned fine piece of work." and then added ejacula tions of "Fine! Oreat!" In Salt Lake City today, federal agents resumed their tight-lipped alienee. Last night, after the Hoo ver statement was released from the national capital, B. J. Connelley. agent in charge of the Investigation her and at Tacoma, called news paper men into conference and In formed them they would have to obtain all information from the attorney general's office In Wash ington. L. D. Wine, agent In charge or the local orfice of the bureau or Investigation, was all smiles when h came to the conference. "I haven't slept for three nights" he said. "I anil have my reports to make out."

The father said Waley was the son of a foreman in a Weyerhaeuser plant In the Pacific Northwest, but that Waley did not work for the company as his father objected to "hiring relations." After marrying Waley, Margaret went with her husband to Tacoma whero they resided until July ot last year, and then moved on to Camden, N. J. All trace of the couple was lost by the girl's father until the girl called last Wednesday to pay a brlct visit at her former home. Clguret Case I mining It was a 20-cent cigaret case which led to the breakdown of the kidnapers "air-tight" scheme for getting rid of the ransom bank notes. Edythe Morley, 24, and Mar lon Samuel, 10, attractive clerks in the chain store where Mnrgaret Waley was picked up, revealed the dime store climax of the 9200,000 kidnaping. The women, hatless, and In a housa dress, calmly handed the 95 bill to Miss Morley In pnymeut for the case. With hardly a glance at the bill, Miss Morley hiuidcd the money to Miss Samuel, Who took It to the cashier where It was Identified. A few minutes later the customer was In the hands of Jus tice and tho first phase of ( he Weyerhaeuser manhunt came to a close. "I got It at Kress's yesterday," the woman answered when asked by Officer Rogers where she got the money. 'She didn't seem a bit excited," said one of the girls. But perhaps Margaret Waley didn't know conviction on a kidnaping charge in the slate of Washington carries a death penalty. T0MI1E, EX-SIM OP TIGER FOOTBALL RETURNS FOR VISIT Tommy White.

One man, presumably a de partment of Justice agent, gained admittance by knocking three times on a window with a coin. A re porter who tried the same stunt was denied admittance after one of the occupants peered through a win dow at him. 1 Neighbors said "an old couple." apparently had been living there for several months, but dust accumu lated on two broken-down chairs on the front porch Indicated they had not been moved for months. As late as two weeks ago, neigh bors said, a man and a woman, described as 30 years old and blond, together with two men and a small girl named "Wanda" had been there. One of the men, they said, "looked to be about 21 years old." He was tall and blond, and In a general way answered the description of Harmon Waley, who was arrested at Salt Lake In connection with the kidnaping. The woman could have been Mrs. Waley. The third man. the neighbors said, was tall and dark, and ap peared to be about 35 years old. He could have been William Mahan. who la sought near Butte, Mont.. as an accomplice in the kidnaping. The younger couple and the little girl, the neighbors said, stayed at the house sometimes during the day, and the girl, Wanda, played witn neighboring children. The neighbors said several visitors came during the night. "We noticed them because they made a mistaken when they would drive In the alley to the garage, and would turn in our yard." they said. "Then they would have to turn around again." They said they were not suspic ious, and "never dreamed that that little boy" was held prisoner next door to them." The house. In one of the older residential districts of the city, is surrounded by rather old, middle class and smaller homes. The kid nap house, which originally was painted brown, but now Is shaded with -gray, is flanked by homes ot laboring people. The "hideaway" house gives all the appearance of having been vacant, and poltee ex pressed amazement that neighbors could see people going In and out without reporting to them. One of the cars, a Ford1 sedan, one of the neighbors said, carried a Wyoming license, the number oi which they failed to obtain. PENDLETON GOLFERS DEFEAT LA GRANDE PENDLETON. Ore., June 10.

Camel is the cigarette with rtil mildness. I'd walk a mile for Camel!' In baseball, and in all the strenuous sports, leading athletes cite the fact that Camels are mild.

ROBINSON A new and revolutionary religioui teaching based entirely on the mis understood sayings of the Galilean Carpenter, and designed to show how we may rind, understand and use the same identical power which Jesus used in performing His so called Miracles, is attracting world wide attention to its founder, Dr. Frank B. Robinson, noted psycholo gist, author and lecturer. "Psychiana." this new psychologi cal religion, believes and teaches that it is today possible for every normal human being, understanding spiritual law as Christ understood it, to duplicate every work that the Carpenter of Galilee ever did it be lieves and teaches that when He said, "the things that I do shall ye do also." He meant what He said and meant it literally to all man kind, through all the ages. Dr. Robinson has prepared a 6000 word treatise on "Psychiana," in which he tells about his long search for the Truth, how he finally came to the full realization of an Unseen Power or force so dynamic in itself that all other powers and forces fade into insignificance beside it how he learned to commune direct ly with the Living God, using this mighty, never-failing power to dem onstrate health, happiness and fin ancial success, and how any normal being may lind and use it as Jesus did. He is now offering this treatise free to every reader of this paper who writes him. If you want to rend this highly in teresting, revolutionary and fascinat ing story of tho discovery of a groat Truth, Just send your name and ad dress to Dr. Frank B. Hobinson. 127 Sixth St., Moscow, Idaho. It will be sent free and postpaid without cost or obligation. Write tho Doctor to day. Copyright 1933, Dr. Frank B. Robtnwn. Advertisement.
