He based the es- timate on the sound of their voices jas they held him captive 22 days. He got no view of any of them, he said, for he was kept captive in a dark room from the time he was kidnaped, January 17, until three men took him ia an automobile and pushed him, blind-folded, from the car in Roches- ter. During his imprisonment, he said, they threatened to kill him if he dis- obeyed their commands and guards, working in relays of two, were with him constantly. gang. That contact was delivery of three notes in an envelope addressed to Nippert and slipped under his front door Jan. 20. Sometime within the next two weeks, another contact was made. That was Magee’s cue to go to Des Moines, but the time lock safe-guard- ing the money thwarted that plan. Counts on Their Honor ‘The gang’s resultant silence inspir- ed the elder Bremer’s ultimatum last Saturday and the ransom payment quickly followed. With the money was a note signed by Adolph, reading: “I have done my part and kept my word 100 per cent as I said I would. This money is not marked and you have the full amount asked for. boys, I am counting on your honor. Release Edward and tell him to come to my house first. “(signed) Adolph Bremer.” It was about 8 p.m. Wednesday that Bremer was freed. He walked to a bus depot at Rochester where he learned he had missed the last bus for the Revise Bulletin on Food and Drugs Act A revised bulletin on the North Da- kota food and drugs act with rules, regulations and food standards is be- ing distributed to all food establish- ments and drug stores in the state by the North Dakota regulatory depart- ment, A special note is being sent with the bulletin to each special group of es- tablishments, calling attention to re- — Primarily concerning 7m, Groom Is Fortunate In Motoring Mishap Minot, N.

Nippert, though Dodge City, Kans., peldy. 26 he refused to confirm it, was under- the huge ransom demand, had little to offer in the way of help to the of- ficers. Communications exchanged the kidnapers, however, were avail- able to the state, city and federal of- ficers who are joined in the hunt, It is on these communications and the jexperience of Walter Magee, the in- |termediary who delivered the ransom ‘money—in $5 and $10 bills—that the officers pin their hopes. | Magee Is Keyman It was Magee who received the first note, demanding $200,000 and jwarning against “bargaining with us.” It was left on his office door- step a few hours after Bremer was seized. It was Magee, too, who just prior to last Saturday was to have gone to Des Moines with the $200,000, regis- tered at a hotel named by the kid- napers and. used a pseudonym sup- plied by the gang. At the time Magee received these instructions the ran- som was guarded by a time lock in a St. Paul bank and the plan could not be followed. Silence masked the gang’s activities then, prompting Adolph, the father, to issue his ap-! peal for early return of his son and giving the mob three days and three nights in which to communicate with assurance of no police interference. Spurred to action by the elderly Bremer’s word of honor, the captors immediately conveyed final instruc- tions for turning over the money. Magee foliowed orders. He went to @ pre-arranged place in St. Paul. look- {ed in a strange automobile parked at the curb at a specified place, and read a note secreted in a pocket of the car. In accordance with instructions, he replaced the note, climbed in the car with the money, and drove south. Drove on Lonely Road At Faribault, Minn., he took a cross road, slowed to 15 miles an hour, and stood to have gone to the kidnap lair at the gang's orders, to treat Bremer. The victim had been slugged with when they invaded his car the morn- ing of Jan. 17 when he was enroute to the bank. The car later was found Abandoned, its interior spotted with blood. Nippert, blindfolded, was taken for a five or six hour automobile ride at right after receiving the second contact made with the family by the pistol butts by two of the kidnapers| | arrived home about midnight. Bremer, it is believed, would be able th to identify at least two of the gang. It was understood he obtained a good view of the two men who carried out the actual kidnaping just before isola him over the head with pistol tts. Chief of Police ‘Thomas Dahill re- fused to make any comment on the case, however. Neither would he comment on the result of a minute examination of the small coupe in which Magee made the ransom de- livery. It was thoroughly gone over by the Police fingerprint squad for identify- ing marks that would connect it with the gang.
