KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2S-Albert King
alias Dennis, alias Spinola, who returned
| the kidnapped Beals child and secured the
ransom was arrested this morning at
O'clock. He is the chief conspirator in the
| abduction, and was undoubtedly the man
who delivered the child aud obtained the
! IS 900 ransom last night. He was entering
house at 1881 Park avenue, where Lizzie
| Smith, alias Lizzie King, was captured
! last night. when be was arrested. He had
! opened the back door, when a policeman,
who had been placed there in expectation
that he might return, placed him under
arrest. At the police station King was
searched. No money was found upon him.
| There was 3S-caliber revolver in his hip
pocket, but he did not attempt to use it
when arrested. King had little to say. He
replied 10 question as to his part in the
abduction: II know nothing about it.
The woman can tell you everything" He
refuses to say whether il was he who re-
turned Junior" Beals and received the
S. 600.
King and his wife, Lizzie King. alias
Lizzie Smith, were brought before Justice
Wortber this morning and charged with
the abduc of the son of David L Beals,
David T. Beals, Jr. They plead not guilty
to the charge Their bond was fixed at
5000 for Albert King and $1,000 for Mrs.
King. They could not give bond, and
they were committed to the county Jail
Their case is set for next Wednesday.
George d. Ford, who was present last
night when Mr.. Beals paid the $1,000 ran
som TO an unknown man for tho return of
his child, called at the Jail today to ascer-
tain whether Albert King, the alleged
confederate of Lizzie Smith, was the man
who had brought back the boy. He took
a long look at the prisoner but declared
positively that he was not the man to
whom WAS paid the $1,000 ransom. Mr..
Ford and Mr.. Beals were the only persons
who saw the mysterious man and they re-
fuse to give any description of him or to
give out any information that might lead
to his capture. They pursue this course
by reason of the terms of the contract
entered into with the man who returned
the child
Public Indignation over the crime all
along has been raised to the highest pitch.
A mob, at s o'clock this evening, began to
gather around the Jail, where the two
prisoners were confined. Its temper was
manIfestly so ugly and its purpose so APP
parent, that the police considered it
prudent to remove the kidGapers out of
town. Accordingly they were spirited out
OF back entrance and were driven in a
carriage to Independence, suburb OF this |
place When the mob learned that the |
prisoners had been removed from the Jail
the excitement subsidized somewhat and |
the mob dispersed. There is no doubt
that an attempt, at least, would have
been made TO lynch the kidnapers but for
the precaution taken by the police.
