*A—16 * EXTORTION MOVE LADTO SALESMAN G-Men Hold Man After Sur- geon Reports Receipt of Threats. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is confronted with an unusual case of alleged extortion as a result of the arrest in Florida of a traveling sales- man charged with threatening a prominent New York surgeon be- cause a mastoid operation allegedly left him deaf. Special agents of the F. B. I. yes- terday arrested the salesman, Joseph Gladstone, in Jacksonville, Fla., and, they said, obtained from him a con- fession that he wrote a series of de- mands for money to Dr. Truman L. Saunders, associated with a New York eye and ear hospital. Gladstone was to be arraigned at Jacksonville under the Federal extortion statute. Dr. Saunders appealed' to the F. B. I. last Monday, when he received the latest in a series of letters signed with Gladstone's name and threaten- ing bodily harm unless the surgeon immediately “reimbursed” the writer for money he said he had spent for treatment following the operation. Previous letters had demanded $1,000 as the -amount needed for “reim- bursement.” In the letters the writer claimed it had been necessary to adjust his busi- ness and social life because of deaf- ness. He demanded restoration of his hearing and payment for losses he said he had suffered by failure to obtain employment. F. B. I officials here said ‘an inves- tigation showed that Gladstone had been “annoying a New York eye and ear hospital” since 1932, with similar letters. Gladstone, who is 30, will be taken to New York City for prosecution. Snake Leads to Hospital. SALEM, Mo, July 30 (#).—A snake put Mrs. E. E. Martin in a hospital yesterday with a broken hip.
