Weyerhaeuser Kidnapping Ransom Bill List. A special edition of the June 4, 1935 Los Angeles examiner giving the serial numbers of every bill in the $200,000 ransom paid to recover the nine-year-old son of the lumber tycoon J.P. Weyerhaeuser. All eight pages list the $20, $10 and $5 bills that went into the ransom. George Weyerhauser was recovered, unharmed, and lived to become chairman of the lumber company.
