WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. i/P)
—J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
said agents arrested Arnett Booth
in Huntington. West Virginia, &
charged him with demanding $50,
000 for the release of Dr. James
Sedar, 79. former minister.
Dr. Sedar was kidnaped from
his Huntington home on Novem
ber 1st, Mr. Hoover revealed. The
aged man was physically exhaust
ed when found near an abandon
ed coal mine seven miles outside
of Wayne.
He was kidnaped by three men
when he agreed to accompany
them to assist them in cashing a
check. Dr. Sedar, from his hos
pital bed where he is recovering,
said when he was out of sight of
his home the men pushed him
into an automobile and drove far
out into the woods. They ten led
him down a narrow steep trail
into a ravine where he was kept
a prisoner.
In the meantime the ransom
note was written and the federal;
men laid a trap in which they
snared Booth. Sedar was rescued
by a farmer who heard feeble
cries for help. After climbing
from the 30-foot ravine, Sedar
could proceed no farther and the
farmer left him in a building of
the old mine while he summoned
aid.
Hoover said Booth’s confession i
implicated Orville Atkins and J. ■
Travis, notorious gunmen who
are both at large.
Immediately after his confession
authorities charged Booth with
extortion and the kidnaping of
Sedar. Kidnap charges will also
be preferred against Atkins and
Travis, they said.

PASTOR SAYS REPORTERS
| MADE HIM WARN WINDSOR
AWAY FROM CHURCH
PARIS, (/P)—The Angelican pas
tor, Rev. J. L. C. Dart, apologized
to the Duke of Windsor recently
for “an insul't to a man who could
not defend himself.’’
The duke nevertheless shunned
the Armistice Day service within
St. George’s Church here, because
his presence was previously de
clared unwelome.
Dart told the British legion:
“The very last thing I wished
today was to insult a man who
couldn’t defend himself. Report
ers made me do it but nothing
was further from my intentions.
I swear that’s true and wish to
take this opportunity to publicly
apologize.”
The vicar also revealed he tele
phoned the duke’s equerry, Dud
ley Fordwood, an hour before the
service and said he wanted to
apologize to Windsor "for what
amounted to a public insult.” He
said the duke would be received
with all the respect due a king's
brother.
However, the duke nevertheless
refused to attend.
Newspapers reported that Dart
had said, “I would rather he did
not attend the services.”
