Dr. Goldberg staggered into police heaquarters yesterday morning after he had been seized as he entered his garage at his home at midnight. The doctor said he felt certain the men who attacked him sought nar- cotics. He said they took the small amount of drugs he carried as well as $60.

A score of men were gathered at the whipping place, the youths totd the police. The boys said their ab- ductors accused them of causing a 17 year old girl to become intoxicat- ed. Sanders was sejzed in front of a drug store by two men wearing badges. Three men in an auto stopped in front of Price's home, displayed stars and sald they were officers. The boy's stepfather, G. C. Cunningham at- tempted to interfere but was threat. ened with a revolver.
