Saturday evening at Crystal Lake and a hearing before Justice Bat tern at Woodstock, when he admitted that he had written three extortion letters to Mrs. Rose Kellogg, wealthy widow of Charles Watson Kellogg, Chicago Attorney. Mrs. Kellogg lives at Crystal Lake- Young White was arrested Saturday night as he picked up a decoy package, supposedly containing $5,000.' Questioned Sunday, he admitted writing the notes, but said that he did not know why he did it. Mrs. Kellogg received the letters on Dec. 8, Dec. 13, and Dec. 23- All demanded $5,000, and threatened her with death if she failed to pay. The letters mentioned that machine guns would be used to carry out tbfi death threat. .•** House Is Burned! Two apparently warning iwMeirtt preceded the receipt of the missives.

This note mentioned: "I've been in your home," and "I was at your house the night of the fire." Believing these references to be warnings, Mrs. Kellogg notified Chief Deputy Harold Reese of McHenry county. On Friday the third letter arrived.
