BLOODY THREAT ON
 ACE OF HEARTS

SPRINGFIELD, June 12,-A new sensation has arisen in the alleged abduction syndicate plot" resulting from the kidnapping last week of the wealthy bankers child Lloyd Rect, for whom a nationwide search is being made, and the arrest of seven persons.
 A threatening letter received by the Adams family, some members of which are now in custody in connect ion with alleged plots to kidnap a jew eler and a St. Louis munitions manu- facturer, was made public by the po- lice today in the belief that the Ad- ans knew about the abduction of the Rect infant and that the letter was written to silence them.
 The note was addressed to Taylor B. Adams, one of those under arrest, and contained a playing card, the ace of hearts with the figure pierced with sketched dagger and blood drops falling.
 We will get you in one month," was the scrubbed warning on a plain card in the envelope.
