GETTLE GUARDED AGAINST THREATS Former Victim of Kidnapers Again Marked in Possible Abduction Plot, By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, December 20.—A victim of kidnapers who held him for $60,000 ransom last May, William F. Gettle, Beverly Hills millionaire, was being guarded today against another possible abduction plot. Authorities disclosed they provided him with a police guard last Monday when a crudely-written threat letter was mailed from Long Beach to the capitalist. The letter demanded a sum of money be paid to a woman, who was to be described in a second letter which Gettle has not received. Police Place Guard. Gettle informed police and they promptly placed a 24-hour guard about | his Beverly Hills home and on his Arcadia estate. Three members of the gang which kidnaped Gettle are serving life sen+ tences in San Quentin Prison. They were captured five days after Gettle was abducted. Persons Serving Sentences. They are Roy Williams, Larry Ker- rigan and James F, Kirk. Two women associates, Loretta Woody and Mona Galligan, were sentenced to a Federal reformatory for sending extortion notes to the millionaire’s family through the mails. Gettle was kidnaped the night of May 10 by two armed men. His ab- duction precipitated one of the great- est manhunts in Southern California’s history. His release was made with- out payment of ransom money. Slaying Figures CRIPPLE HELD IN DEATH OF SWEETHEART. ‘Willie Bouthilette (lower), 25- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
