leased the hysterical prisoner and sum-
moned a physician to treat the numer-
Gus lacerations that had resulted from
her efforts to break the ropes. Al
though they examined the woman care

scribed 10 them.
Mrs. Colley. who is twenty-five years

az the front door earlier in the after
noon and, when she opened it. entered
the house and seized her. in spite' OF
her struggles, she told the detectives.
they dragged her 20 the bathroom and
bound and gagged her. She said that
they had not otherwise mistreated her,
however, and had made no effort to
rob the place.
Later a note was found on which was

had been intended for her husband.
The detectives are seeking yerifcation
