Kidnap Plot on ‘Avenger’ Takes Own Life

" (Continued from Page One)

Mr. Rivers from the Federal Radio Commission. Mr. Rivers opened the door. Instantly he felt a pistol jammed into his ribs and the man behind the pistol snarled: . “Hold up your hands. Don't turn on that light.” :

held the pistol. They struggled and fought. The pistol was. discharged three times, the bullets tearing into the walls and ceiling of the reception hall, Mrs. Rivers-came running in and entered the fight. The man slugged her with his fist, got his pistol hand

- {free and slugged Mr. Rivers with it.

The man turned and ran out the door toward his parked car, Mrs. Rivers followed, screaming for help. z : “If you don’t shut up,” he said from the car, “I'll shoot you.” ‘Mrs. Rivers continued to scream and the man drove off. Jesse Corbett, 33, operator of a filling station near the Rivers home, heard her screams. He and three friends jumped into a car and followed the automobile of the wouldbe kidnaper to Valdosta, 25 miles southwest of Lakeland. There it turned into the Pines Tourist Camp. They watched the man get out of it and get into a parked trailer. Then they called Valdosta police,

Surround Trailer

By midnight police had the trailer surrounded. “Come out,” one shouted. “Just a minute,” a voice responded from within. A pistol shot rang out. Police broke into the trailer. On the floor was a slender man of about 38, five feet eight inches tall, dressed in pants, silk, undershirt and carpet slippers. pistol was nearby. He had shot himself through the mouth and was dead. On a folding table was a note written in pencil. It was the wild, rambling note of a political fanatic, indicating that he had planned the crime of a lunatic. But, in the course of their search of the trailer, police found a typewritten letter which obviously had been carefully composed. It was a letter intended for the victim of a kidnaper to sign — the first of a series leading toward the payment of ransom. The penciled note which the man

Rivers Fails;

Ex-Gov. E. D. Rivers

wrote in the last few minufes of his life follows: “I have no designs against the life of the former Governor of the State, whose dishonesty surpassed anything I ever heard of, but I would have made him pay for his vile betrayal of the people’s trust in my own way. “Since I have failed, the least I can do is to save the people other expenses. May God and all those I love and that love me, forgive me. “My motive was not robbery but the futile attempt of a person crazed by the universal dishonesty and corruption of those whom the people have trusted as their leader and not in turn robbed others of their justice as well as their collective wealth. : “Perhaps, if other Americans who have shrugged off rotten politicians as none of their concern, and thereby made their continuance possible, would take it upon themselves and put the fear of the righteous wrath of the citizenry in them, our own political structure now so rotten as to eventually collapse entire, would thereby be strengthened.”

Had Letter Ready for Vicitm

-The typewritten kidnap letter was intended for a victim’s signature. A space was left for an addressee. Written in the first person, the victim was made to say that “a terrible thing” had happened to him, that he was depending on the loyalty and devotion of the addressee, that a person or persons indicated by a blank, would be found “tied “in bed, drugged, but probably safe asleep.” The victim was made to beg his friend not to notify police, not to let any word of his plight leak out, otherwise “I will be killed, weighted down in the swamp.” He was made to tell his friend of the ruthlessness of his kidnapers. He was made to affirm his willingness to pay ransom and to say that he was as yet unaware of the amount he would have to pay. : Then he-gave the text of a message, which, the letter said, the writer had been given to copy by the kidnapers: This informed the addressee that the victim’s life was

in his hands, that if he failed, the].

victim’s blood would be on his conscience, and he would pay additionally by receiving “a bullet in the dark.” SEAR It said that each kidnaper, aware of the danger, was pledged to protect and “avenge” the ‘others. It also threatened to force enough information from the victim to “cause a lot of trouble for many people when photostates are placed in the proper hands as a confession.”

invalid identity cards. Seventy-eight others were charged with illegal residence. Reports reaching Czech refugee sources in London said that many more persons had been arrested in former Czechoslovakia than the

lin. . The Gestapo was said to be “hunting Czechs in the most remote villages” while “thousands of people have left their homes to wander in the streets or hide in the hills.” An “appalling number” for suicides was reported. Czechs said that the courts martial set up by Reinhard Heydrich under the state of emergency, now extended to virtually all Bohemia and ‘Moravia, were composed exclusively of veteran Nazi elite guard men and that the trials were “a farce.” The death sentences have often been justified by a statement that the condemned plotted high treason, but many of them had been in German prison or concentration camps for months and could not have plotted anything, these sources said. Notices on walls in Praha, Brno and other towns have called on Czechs to start a general strike in retaliation.

Two More Generals Die

Berlin reported that “an additional number” of persons, including two brigadier generals named Dolecal and Svatek and “several Jews” had been executed yesterday on <the charge that they “prepared for high treason and sabotage,” and announced that Gen. Alois Elias, premier of the German-dominated Czech Government, had been sentenced to death on the charge of “acting in the interest of the enemy and preparing for high treason.” No announcement had been made in Praha of the execution of Gen. Elias and a Berlin spokesman indicated he might obtain clemency. Germans apparently feared sabotage in the southern Moravia area through which pass supplies for the Russian front, the Czechs reported, and tke emergéncy declaration was designed to safeguard that sector. The Czech rebel radio, however, reported that sabotage to railroads had increased and that a big fire at Kladno and an explosion in a freight yard at Moravskaostrava had caused much damage. A Nazi elite storm trooper was reported killed at Zlin, Berlin announced that 256 Czechs were under arrest in addition to the 130 sentenced to death. The British-Russian efforts to encourage resistance may be worked out thoroughly soon. Sir Walter Monckton, director general of the British Ministry of Information, already has started for Moscow to discuss the campaign.

Sabotage Suggested

Britain and Russia plan to emphasize sabotage and “slow-down” strikes because people of occupied countries may engage in them with the least danger of deteetion, and will warn against any open subversive movements which would give the Germans ‘a chance to take specific and harsh repressive measures

Czechoslovakia. * President Eduard Benes and Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk of the Czechoslovak Government in exile broadcast appeals to Czechs from London last night not to attempt open strikes or make sacrifices prematurely, holding that they would be useless if mistimed.

Curfew Is Extended

The Gernian official news agency said Gen. Milan Nedio, Premier of the German-dominated Jugoslay Government, had assumed the office of Minister of Interior, in charge of the police, because of the “illness” of Interior Minister Milan Atschimovitch and had appealed to the police and civil servants to prosecute a ruthless campaign against “Communists.” Presumably the “Communists” were the tens of thousands of Jugoslavs, most of them soldiers serving under their own officers, who were overrunning provincial areas, wrecking trains, blowing up bridges, cut: ting communications. and attacking

Hope of freedom through an Allied vitcory will be held out. The people will be exhorted to hamper the Nazi authorities in every possible way, including sabotage and the slowing down of production, but will be warned to keep their heads down and not start premature uprisings, which at this stage the Nazis can easily suppress with wholesale slaughter.
