Home

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June 6.-That
the Keet kidnapping case probably
will be solved tonight is the opinion
of police here, although there is some
ground for belief that it has been
solved already.
The mysterious action of j. Holland
Keet, father of Baby Lloyd Keet, al
legged to be held by kidnappers, have
puzzled the officials.
Some officials say that the baby
was returned Saturday morning and
that it is being hidden at Meadow
Mere. the Keet mansion.

plans work, Keet declares, he will
leave on his third trip IN an attempt
to meet the abductors and pay the
ransom money which, according to
the first demands, should amount to
$4,000 by the present time. Several
arrests have been made, but the of.
ticials refuse to divulge the persons
held for fear others now under sur
vigilance may leave the city. One OF
those arrested is chauffeur who au.
thorities state has confessed driving
the abductors and the baby from
Meadow Mere to an abandoned hut
several miles out of Springfield.

sons, Claytus Adams, 20. and Make
Adams, 10, and c. J. Piersol and Sam
