Stevic of Topeka, Kansas man- ; ager of the League, one of those mob- bed at Great Bend, has been informed - by Kansas lawyers that the League has the following: causes - of ‘action ‘against members of the ‘mob-.and ‘American Legion: . For assault and battery under section 3404 of the gen- eral statutes; for kidnaping under: sec- tion 3406 of the general statutes; for robbery in the first degree under sec- tion 3443 of the general statutes. The latter refers to the theft by the mob of valuable League papers and securi- . ties, taken from the 'persons of Mr. Stevic and ‘other League employes. ‘These papers are in the hands of the . attorney general of the state, as near _as can be learned, and he has failed to . return them. Mr. ‘Stevic has. authen-’ tic information that members of the’ i ~Legion - “planted” with the papers taken from. the League men some L W.
