Being a man who has great faith in his friends, and thinking some of them might be implicated, he readily agreed to go to the police station. Upon entering a car which stood near he saw two women seated in the rear. The car drove away and turned up Seventh Avenue. He then realized something was wrong and demanded his freedom. pistol was stuck in his side and one of the women said. Sit on him. Then Casper Holstein, who has always been treat ed with the dearest affection by his friends because of his kindness to the least unfortunate of his race, was struck on the head with the butt of the pistol, blindfolded and gagged.
The following story which has all the dramatic incidents of a finely wrought melodrama was told by Mr. Holstein: They could not have carried me far, for it was not long before the machine came to a stop and was taken upstairs in an elevator and into a room that must have been a bed room for was thrown on a bed. was unbound although still blindfolded and the wires were tied about by arms and legs. remained blindfolded until was set free early today. All the while was treated kindly by my captors. Then it must have been night or early Saturday morning when one of the kidnappers said. dirty rat gave us a bad steer.
We better let him go. It was agreed that should be set free, but only under the cover of the night. Early this morning, again led into an automobile and the next thing knew, was out upon the street freed. During the time Mr. Holstein was held from Friday night until Saturday morning all of Harlem in tremendous frenzy about him, for he has given liberally to every worthy cause and was a friend to many needy Mothers. Hence it was, with the greatest sincerity, that many people became anxious about him. Around his home and the Turf Club of which he is president, many people gathered waiting for some news that he was safe. Many telegrams and telephone messages came inquiring about this great benefactor.
Contrary to other reports, he carried only 70. 00 on him and a diamond ring worth 2, 000 which was not touched. The abductors demanded and seemed to have wanted 150. 000. Because of their fright, he was released at 144th Street and Amsterdam Avenue at 1:45 Monday morning.
