WANTS MAN RETURNED
St. Paul, April 10—(AP)—Governor Floyd B. Olson today asked Governor Henry Horner of Illinois to return Clifford Brown, arrested in Brainerd, Minn., on a warrant charging abduction in Chicago and taken to Illinois with extradition hearing.
Brown, charged with having kidnaped the 3-year-old daughter of Mrs. Donna Clark, Chicago night club entertainer, was taken to Illinois by Chicago officers yesterday after issuance of an extradition warrant.
Olson told Horner that the 24 hours permitted for a writ of habeas corpus had not elapsed between the warrant and the departure.
