Kehl has | been in the city for more than a month, but attention was not attracted to him until yesterday, when he carried to the White House a letter demanding an in- terview with President Roosevelt and threatening the life of the chief ex- ecutive if his demand were not granted. “You aill be sorry if you do not see The letter was turned over to the se- cret service this morning and late this | evening Kehl was located at a small hotel and taken to police headquarters. | While the officers were searching him | he made an allempt to draw a revolver | from his hip pocket, bjt was disarmed | after a struggle.
