Granville man denies Roy Mason kidnapping claim
A $5,000 damage suit in North Dakota accuses Mrs. Swayne of Waterloo of trying to recover Roy Maney or Roy Mason of Granville, who she says was kidnapped from Iowa eight years ago. The case centers on Roy Mason’s tale as a Western Union messenger and the family’s search, with local relations and a drift into state politics as the legislature debates Jim Crow measures and capital location amid lobbies from farmers and labor groups.
