Fuller Again A Captive.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 17, 1913:
American, After Paying $20,000, Is Held for $10,000 Ransom.
    Col. W. B. Fuller, an engineer engaged in building the Conchos River dam in Northern Mexico, was kidnapped two weeks ago by Mexican bandits and held for a ransom of $20,000, according to a letter received recently by one of his friends.
    In his letter, Col. Fuller expressed the wish that the news might be kept from his wife, but Mrs. Fuller, who lives in Palisade. N. J., read of the kidnapping in an evening paper. The account said that Col. Fuller had paid the ransom of $20,000 asked by the bandits, but after several days of freedom had been recaptured and held for a $10,000 ransom.
    Mrs. Fuller tried to get into communication with her husband or with her son, Bernard, who also is an engineer at work on the dam, but she found the wires in the northern part of Mexico had been cut. Bernard Fuller was to have been married in Paterson, N. J., on April 29.
