A man named Willis was attacked on a Denver street by four masked assailants after leaving the St. Janis Hotel. He was chloroformed, bound, robbed, and driven to a secluded room before being released with a warning. He wrote a note to his wife under duress and later sought private help as police faltered. He is recovering mentally and financially from the ordeal.
