Tacoma As Activity Increases In Search
Kidnapers Of George Weyerhaeuser
(By The Associated Press)
TACOMA, June 4—Increasing the Tacoma field force
to about thirty, by the arrival of a dozen new men, Depart
ment of Justice men were unusually active today and are
hoping to clear up the Weyerhaeuser kidnap case within a
week.
There seemed to be a feeling in informed circles that
one or two of the gang were still hiding in this section. If
they can be picked up the whereabouts of the remainder of
the gang will become known, and their arrest will follow
quickly, it is felt.
An atmosphere of secrecy still prevails and it is impos
sible for newsmen to obtain any information from the fed
eral officers.
The circulars listing the serial numbers of the ransom
bills were issued by the agents, who also refused to state
whether any of the ransom money had yet been reported,
passed.
The kidnapers are still believed to be of a northwest
gang, and there is plenty of searching going on around Issa
quah. The manhunters hope to complete the case this
week, otherwise they face a long wait until the proper time
for a “showdown” appears.
There are thirty more “G Men” working out of Seattle
in an effort to determine who committed the kidnaping and
where they can be found.

PLEADS GUILTY BEING

KIDNAPING CASE 1934
Volney Davis Says He Glad Get Admission
Off His Chest. Savs Can’t Beat The
“G Men" May Be Senteneed Life
(By The Associated Press')
ST. PAUL, June 4—Glad to “get it off his chest,” Volney
Davis, known to the Department of Justice Agents as the
toughest member of the Barker and Karpis mob, today
pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to kidnap Edward G. Bremer.
“It’s no use trying to beat these ‘G guys’,” said Davis,
[after pleading before Federal Judge M. M. Joyce.
He will probably be sentenced Friday, with life impri
sonment as a possible penalty.
Davis said be believed he had been betrayed by his
sweetheart Edna Murray, called the “kidding bandit.” He
declared that he had made arrangements to meet her in a
Chicago suburb. Authorities were informed of the propos
ed meeting.
The gangster, in his guilty plea, said “the minute they
read that indictment, I could see they knew as much about
this kidnaping as I did. It’s no use trying to beat these ‘G
guys,’ (meaning government agents.)
Edward G. Bremer, well-to-do St. Paul banker was kid
naped last year while enroute to his business after taking
his small daughter to school. The manner in which the kid
naping occurred caused marvel among the detective agenc
ies of the country. Bremer was driving down a side street,
enroute to the bank, when the kidnapers car forced him
around a corner and to a stop. They forced Bremer to get
in their car almost immediately and then one of the gang
drove off in the bankers car. It was some weeks before
Bremmer was returned, and after ransom money had been
paid. The majority of the kidnaping gang was caught and
sent to prison.

Possibility Of A
Compromise Seen
In Bonus Issue
Bonus Compromise May Be
Taken Up So As Remove
Issue Before 1936
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 4, — Leg
islators who led the Patman bonus
bill fight will be called to a confer
ence to consider a new compromise
proposal today, it was announced.
One of the leaders asserted he
had reason to believe that the ad
ministration wants to dispose of the
bonus question prior to the 1936 el
ections.
An authoritative source said that
under the compromise proposal, the
date of issue of the certificates
would be changed to November 11,
1918, and this would make them
have a higher actual value for the
present, and at the time they mat
ure in 1938. The veterans are to
be prompted to cash the certificates
on actual value and time.

just assembled. The government

tion through diplomatic channels.
