KTDNAPERS MAKE new
ATTEMPT AT FARLEY
Boy Takes Message to Father Of
Stolen Child.

SPRINGFIELD, No, June 1.-The
kidnapped fourteen-months-old son of
James Holland Reet, millionaire
Springfield banker, is still missing to-
day, but an attempt was made by
the kidnapers TO get into touch with
Reet again this morning, the police
believe.
Shortly after / o'clock a small boy
stealthily approached the Keet home.
The banker answered the doorbelI
and took the message, read It, and
disappeared in the house. A few
minutes later he opened the garage
door, backed out his automobile, and
hurried away. Two hours later he
was back-without the child.
Judge Arch johnson. of the Green
county criminal court, also received q
mysterious telephone call shortly
after midnight. He left his home
hurriedly. he has been assisting ac-
lively in the search for the abducted
boy.
The roads around Springfield are
impossible, made so by unusually
heavy rains. Keet's failure to make
a trip last night is attributed to this.
Mrs. Keet IL said TO be in CRITICAL
condition. The curtains are drawn at
the house, and no one, not even an
intimate friend, Is allowed TO call.
Keet today denied authorization of
the $4,000 reward for the return OF
the child.
Il have not offered the reward" he
said. Not that ! would not give
gladly ten times that amount, but
because his aDuuctors will not think
/ am playing square II / make such
an offer. want my son back, and II
money will bring him, they can have
