WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Trend of the Market is Upward Lowest Levels Were Reached
 Monday and the Highest on
 Wednesday.

New Orleans, Oct. 7.-The trend in cotton last week was strongly upward in this market, prices being 220 to 241 points over the previous weeks close at their best. The market closed at net gain of IFS to 18S points. The low est levels were reached Monday and the highest Wednesday, after which there was moderate recession, chiefly under profit taking on long contracts.
 Reports of a strong spot demand and of a large business being done by spinners, unfavorable weather condi- tions over the belt and the bullsh tone of the bureau reports on condition and ginning Tuesday were the main sup porting influences. Working to offset them was the claim that the market was becoming overbought, that ex- ports this season would be small and hedge selling which at times reached important proportions.
 This week it probably will be a weather market at the start After that the trade will pay considerable attention to ginning It will be a short week, triple holidays commence ing with Friday in observance of Co., lumbus Day.

(By United Press.)

Marshfield, Mo-, Oct S.-Dick Car ter, Claude Piersol and Cletus Adams were placed on trial here today charg- ed with the Kidnapping and murder of fourteen months old Lloyd Rect. son of J. H. Holland Rect, whose body was found in an abandoned we'll on June 9, | ten days after the child had been stolen from the home of his parents at Springfield
 Mrs. Taylor Adams, her husband, | her son Maxie and Sam Maginis, who the authorities charge are implicated in a plot to abduct Clement A. Clem- ent, a wealthy jeweler of Springfield at the same time the Keets baby was stolen, will also be placed on trial.
 Special deputies have been sworn in to assist the court officials in prevent ing anticipated disturbances during the trials.
 The Keet baby was stolen from it's home in Springfield on the night of May 30, while the parents were at tending dance. A maid, a servant and a four year old boy were in the house when the abductors gained en- trance through an open window in the nursery. The child was not missed until shortly after midnight when the parents returned from the dance.
 The following day Rect received an anonymous note instructing him to bring S6000 to a secluded spot near Springfield that night and promising the return of the child.
 Conceallng his plans from the police Rect did as directed but the abductors failed to appear.
 A second note was received on June 1. Keet's friends had been too solicit ous in following him on the night of May 31. the note explained, adding that if he would bring several thou sand dollars additional as a penalty for the action of his friends the baby would be returned the following night. but the abductors again failed to appear.
 A few days later all of the accused with the exception of Dick Carter were arrested. On June 9 the body of the child was found in an abandoned well on a farm eight miles southwest of Springfield Fearing for the safety of his prisoners, Sheriff Webb spirited them out of town before announcing that the child's body had been found.
 On learning the prisoners were taken from the town a posse gave chase, overtaking the officials and the accused shortly before midnight near Stockton. The posse demanded the prisoners. After exacting promise from the posse that the lives of the suspects would be spared, Sheriff Webb surrendered them.
 Piersol was questioned by members of the posse but refused to make statement. A rope was tied about his neck and even though his body was repeatedly swung from the ground he refused to talk. All of the accused were then returned to the officials. At the preliminary trial in August, Car ter. Piersol and Cletus Adams were denied bail after Dr. Harvey Full bright testified the baby had died either from drugs or suffocation be- fore being thrown in the well.
 The cases ordinarily would have been tried before Judge Johnson, but because of his activity in the search for the child, he was disqualified.
