Albert L. Wilson, held in $1,000 ball made against former Special District Attorney Breckinridge by District Attorney Swann, told the Grand Jury to-day a strange chronicle of his ad- ventures yesterday In the course of which he was “kidnapped” to Yonkers by two men who said they were policemen After hearing the storysthe Grand Jury rove and with Mr. Swann, Wil son and Detective Sergeant Clinton Wood, who had Wilson in custody, went before Judes Mulqueen, ‘The foreman had a whispered conference with the Court. “1 understan Judge Mul- ‘that you com- plain you were kidnapped on the pub- lic streets of thie city yesterday, I'm going to try to prevent a recurrence of such an outrage, 1 feel the Inter. ests of justice require thera shall be no doubt of your prosence before the Grand Jury to-morrow “I shall therefore raise your ball from $1,000 to $10,009, and if you fail to find a bondsman before court ad- journs for the day I shall commit you to the Tombs.” The disappearance of Wilson yea- terday afternoon had alarmed his family, puzzled Mr. Swann and caused Martin W. Littleton to intimate that somebody around Mr. Swann's office had kidnapped the witness, Wilson is tho man to whom Mr. Swann re- ferred as a “go-between collector of graft’ when charging Lucian Breckinridge with having accepted a bribe from the Employers’ Associa- tion in the garment trade while a special assistant in the District At- torney's office According to Wilson, he went to the Woolworth Building yesterday afternoon to consult with his attor- ney, J. Ward Follette, On leaving he was accosted at the Broadway on- trance by two men who looked and talked, he said, like plain clothes policemen, Both were big men. Both wore black overcoats, One wore a saft gray hat and the other a black derby. “They sald | was wanted on a lar- eeny change,” said Wilson, who was allowed to go on a suspended sen- tence several years ago on conviction for forgery. “I asked them If it was the old charge and they said no, it was a new matter and I wasn't un- der arrest. They only wanted to talk to me. They walked me down to Fulton Street, where a taxicab was ing» drove Yonkers and they took me up in an office building. 1 do not know what bullding it was or even on what street. They took me to an office and questioned me for a said queen to the witr to long time about the supposed lar- ceny charge. Then they switched and begen talking about District At- torney Swann's cas inridge and about tween Swann “Karly this uinst B trouble nies be the and Delehanty. norning they suddenly broke off t questioning and one of them said: ‘Well, we have made a mistake about that larceny. We are satisfied you do not know anything about it’ So they put me in a cab and took me to One Hundred and For- ty-ninth Street and let mo go and 1 went home." If Wilk on had any idea of the pur pose of the men or for whom they were working neither Sergeant Wood | nor the members of the District Attor ney's staff would allow him to tell it District Attorney Swann promised Mr, Littleton yesterday afternoon that if any attache of the office had any part in causing Wilson's disappear- ance, that attache would be instantly dismissed Deputy Police Commins! r Seull, who had been directing the search | for Wilson through the night, found the Yonkers police wero unable to aid him tn finding of the place the where the interview myste strangers with mn took place, The building ibed by Wilson meant nothing to the Yonkers police. Mr. Littleton had this to say to-da of Wilson's overnight adventure: “Who was Interested in having Wil son go to Yonkers to be questioned ? Certainly not Breckinridge, to whose nnocence he is a witness, Wilson has thoroughly apprised me as to Nyx information on that subject. Now that he ts back, let him tell the Dis: trict Attorney and let the Distriet Attorney toll the public why he was taken away >- — NEW ORLEANS ENTRIES. fal tar V Dering Mi Threeyear-oldg and upward Wy { TH Riek Panirareta ow OT Min Ser ec Fo: +08 mY | "Aagwetice allowance claumed.
