The Detroit police arrested five leaders of a gang of kidnappers, who occupied a fine suburban residence. One made a confession involving a high Detroit police official and a leading attorney. He alleges that the gang collected approximately £200,000 in three years. Stories were revealed of amazing torture. It was alleged that the victims, when kidnapped, were subjected to horrible cruelty. Eye-laslies were pulled out, liot irons held close to the eyes, and in several cases the victims wero trussed up and made targets for fancy shooting, with bullets grazing their bodies. After this treatment most were willing to sign-letters imploring their relatives to pay up and not tell.
