Bower from a moun- tain cabin’ in which kidnapers held him five days was followed quickly |Monday by revelation of a coup whereby police and a newspaper tricked the gangsters into suspect- ing each other of treachery and thus broke up the plot to extort $50,000 from Bower’s family. Bower, 62-year-old Denver bakery manager, was taken by motor car to west Denver and released early Sunday. His eyes were covered with adhesive tape Which he was instruct- ed to wear until he could no longer hear the motor of the kidnapers’ car. j Ina copyrighted article the Rocky | Mountain News revealed it ‘had pub- it_ Saturday. morning a fa) jnote, written by. police chief Albert: | T.
