Stagg will surrender Rhimself to the authorities here next Monday or Tuesday. He said Stagg had been hiding tn & country from which he could not have been extradited had the police | been clever enough to detect him. It| Ld ‘was inferred from this that Mexico has been Stagg’s place of conceal ment. Henderson confirmed the state Ment given out yesterday that he and Prosecutor Wiliam D. Askren bad entered a compromise agreement ‘for the release of Miss Brainerd Without trial in cage Stage gives UP, shoulders the blame for kidnap ing his baby son, Bobby, pleads guilty and accepts a 10-year sentence. ) THINKS STAGG WILL SHOW UP NEXT WEEK F “I do not know where, Stagg is,” ‘Wald Henderson this morning, “but have communicated with his friends @nd if he comes back and pleads Builty I have sufficient aasurance from the prosecution that Miss Brainerd will not be brought to trial, have assurance from friends of that he will be here Monday might or Tuesday. Stagg has ex ) pressed a desire to help in any way he can to get Betty out of this trou. bie. | | “I don't know Stagg; I have never known him or where he was, Miss Brainerd’ informs me she bas not known where Stage has been at any Here’s More vem GUN-TOTING SITUATION IN SEATTLE fine, was not invoked by the arresting offi- cers on a solitary occasion. Two of the remaining 80 are charged in superior court. But not with carrying con- cealed weapons, John Burns, caught red- handed slugging a man with a gun, accord- ing to police, is charged with attempted rob- bery. Hatold Blackwell is charged with bur- glary. Their other alleged offenses over- shadowed the carrying of the weapon, action in the cases shows. George Henry Lee was charged in police | couft with carrying a concealed weapon, He was found guilty. And fined $50. Likewise, Tony Grillo. W. E. Boggs, who had a loaded gun and a flashlight, according to police, forfeited $50 bail. W. G. Smith forfeited $25 bail. John Van Dyck was fined $100 and Howard Martin $25. B. M. Schwartz was charged under the gambling law, and fined $50, An- other gun-carrier was given 80 days in jail on a disorderly conduct charge. Jess Flow- ers was given 31 days for carrying a gun. Geo Lantz was sentenced to serve 16 days. Six men were released in police court. Two were given suspended sentences. Three were juveniles. In the case of Joe Redeagle, police followed the procedure laid down in state laws, It is a solitary instance. Redeagle, an alien, is charged in justice court under the law that | ingly. THE SEATTLE STAR FREDERICK & NELSON Starts on Page 1 prohibits an alien from possession of a fire- arm. Penalty under this statute is six months imprisonment and $500 fine. But Eng Sing, Chinaman, was charged in police court with carrying a_ concealed weapon, found guilty and fined $25. George Vadel, Filipino, was fined $50 on an identical charge. His partner was re-| leased. . . . T IS IN THE CASES of Ah Kee, S. Ki Yoon and Chung Ti, that the mockery of the law’s enforcement stands out so strik- All are Chinamen. The law say they shall be fined $500 and sentenced to ix} months’ imprisonment as a maximum pen-| alty for possession of a firearm, } Ah Kee, who had six guns in his room,| was fined $20 for the alleged running of a) disorderly house. Yoon, said to have had two guns, was fined $20 for “possession of | narcotics,” Ti, alleged possessor of four guns, was dealt with in a similar way. Of these 33 violators, six showed reason to carry a gun. The others, for the most) art, were guilty of violation of the state aw. They should have been tried under) that law. The law was placed on the statue) books to be used. Yet, not one of all these men sufficiently culpable to be charged in police court, was! haled into superior court to face the propér| mete of the law.
