In a shocking turn of events, Arizona Governor Sloan has refused to honor extradition papers issued by California Governor Gillert for alleged kidnapper L.B. Adams, a New York millionaire. The case centers around the kidnapping of Adams’ 6-year-old grandson, Little John P. Adams, in San Francisco, California. The child’s grandmother, Mrs. John S. Kimball, who is fighting for custody alongside Adams’ mother, has not been appointed the boy’s guardian, prompting the governor’s decision. This move has set off a cat-and-mouse game between the two sides, with twelve private detectives in Tucson, Arizona, watching each other to prevent the boy from being spirited away to another state or Mexico. The stakes are high, with millions of dollars involved in this bitter custody battle.
