Neither would say whether he believed it would be decided in Stephensons favor, or whether it ever would be decided. But both were agreed that in fairness to the convicted man, the evidence should cither be Reviewed by a referee or should be investigated by the court and ruled upon. Thus the historical and thrilling bases of a long political chieftain against the power of a state, which started April 15, 1925, with the loath of Miss Oberholtzer, appeared to be unfinished with the most dramatic part yet to be written.

Bow-er, manager of a Denver bilking company, was held for $50,000 ransom today after being kidnaped from his home. Two men entered tlie Bo wethome late last night, menaced six persons with revolvers, and forced Bower to accompany them. They said Bower would be killed if the ransom is not paid by noon today. The men told Mrs. Bower that Stephen Knight, one of the owners of the bakery “could put up plenty of money for your husband’s release.” Shortly after the kidnaping Roger D. Knight, vice-president of the company, re-eived a telephone call. “I'm speaking for the same crowd that robbed your bakery ( the other night and I want to tell' you we have kidnaped Mr. Bower.” a man's voice said.

The six persons were made to lie on the floor. 1 “We’re taking yon with us and we expect to get $50,000 before! tomorrow noon," Bower was told ' “If any of you tell police or the , ne*wspapers it will be just too | bad.” One of the men jerked the! telephone from the wall. “Get that fixed before tomor-' row noon." he warned Mrs. Bower, i “Get Stephen Knight—he's got plenty of dough—and have him here by noon. He’ll be glad to, dig it up.” The men said that if they did! hot get $50,000 for Bower "It will be just too bad for him."
