Mollick Reaches Home After Anarchist Arrest saga
Frank Mollick the Long Branch baker reached his home Saturday and resumed work with Mr Heid after being brought to the city by Superintendent O Mara on suspicion of involvement in an anarchist plot to kill H C Frick. Legal action has begun against O Mara for extradition and against Serene for alleged kidnapping of Ollies. Mollick says he asked for a hearing and wanted counsel, claims he told Heid he would hire a lawyer and that Fay and Wilson were suggested by his employer. He alleges O Mara asked him to sign a confession and later sent a lawyer who charged 50 for two days. He says a signed document presented in the city was a contract not to sue O Mara or Captain Tayton for actions taken. Efforts to reach O Mara for comment failed.
