An attempt was made this afternoon on the Governor’s safety, and possibly his life.
Just after today’s lunch recess, Governor Mogen was reclining in his office, relaxing from
the stresses of power. Suddenly, two un-
disclosed males burst through the door,
and informed Governor Mogen that he was
needed in another room. They accompa-
nied him, continuously suggesting that he
ought to use the elevator. Being a sensible
man, the Governor wanted to use the stairs.
The kidnappers accompanied the Gover-
nor to the top floor, where they attempted
to
force him into an elevator. Using his politi-
cal strength and physical height, Governor
Mogen fought off the kidnappers, who fled
down the Capitol’s winding hallways. Di-
rectly after the attack, the Governor re-
turned to his office. He stated, while look-
ing heroically at the rotunda, that “this is a
crime, and it will be justly dealt
with in due time.” He wished to
make no other comment.
