{ MASON THREATS DENIED BY MEEK “HOUNTANEERS” In Jail at Newark Harmless Ap- pearing Trio Say They “Didn't Send No Letter.” $5,000 WAS DEMANDED. Inspectors Arrest Trio Woods After Attempt to Blackmail President-Elect. Three “rourh and sullen mountatn- cers,” residents of a patch of woods up ack of Lake Hopatcong, awoke to-day in Fasex County Ja! y amazed to tonal, if but momentary, fi had threatened the life of t 7 President- @lect of tho United States, according to the authoritis, having matied Woodrow Wiison « crudely, misspelled and ram- Bling letter demanding “$6,000 or your Nfe.” ‘The letter, received at Mr. Wilson's Trenton office, described the sender as “Aeath to Presidonts,” but scrutiny of @il three prisoners in the Newark Jail failed to reveal anything strikingly hloodthirsty. Nor was there anything about any one of the trio that indl- cated tho desire or nerve to strike 80 deadiy a blow at the republic as the tter threatened. There was nothing eretive about them, and all readily discussed their plight from all angles, e#toutly denying, however, any knowl- edge of the threatening letter they are charged with writing, Among tHe Jail attendants, who have observed the trio wince their commitment last night, the opinion is that while the backwoods- men, none of them overbright, yet none wholly illiterate or stupid, might have framed they letter to the Prest- nt-elect, not one had any idea of go- ing further with the threat. THREE ARE HELD UNDER $2,000 BAIL. The three prisoners are Jacob Dunn, also Known as “Nig; Warren Bunn, Bis brother, whose nickname is Pete, ana & y Davenport, known as “Snake.” range from thirty to thirty-five and all are of the same ‘ently harmless type of backwoods who would hardly be suspected of any serious crime. They were ar- rested last night near their home in tthe little settlement known as Ford ‘Mine, near the town of Wharton, Mor- ris County, N. J. The officers arrest- ing them were edMeral Marshal Louis Beekman of Newark, and Poat-Ofice Inxpectors Butler and Larrabee. They are in jail under $2,000 bail pending @ hearing oefore United States Commis- sioner Richard Stockton next Monday.

Other- wise his life at Ford Mine had been nothing but one cake of tice after an- other ever since the family settled there many years nfo.
