Gettle, 47, wealthy oil man, from his newly purchased estate in the foothills of the District of Arcadia at mid- might, the party declaring “this is @ kidnaping.” James Wolfe, Westwood. furni- ture dealer, was left bound, gagged and strapped to a tree’ on his estate. , His wife freed him. Gettle was abducted after a party of 10, entertained at his es~ tate, had left the swimming pool. Eight members of the party en- tered the house while Gettle and Wolfe stopped in a small summer house to pull on trousers and shirts over swimming suits. As they bent over they were startled to hear, “stick *em up and be quick about it.” Wolfe at- tempted to remonstrate with the . men who cut him short, informing} * him it was'a kidnaping.
