ALLEGED KIDNAPERS SPARED
Mob Dlsperses When Leader Of Gang
StoutIy Denies Guilt.

Springfield, Mo.-The seven alleged
kidnapers and slayers of Baby Lloyd
Keet, who were spirited from Jail here
by the sheriff and speeded in auto.
mobiles toward the states prison at
Jefferson City, pursued by mob in
40 motor cars, were captured near
Stockton, Mo-, by the Infatuated citi-
zens Of Springfield who were intent
on avenging the baby's death.
The alleged leader of the kidnapers,
Claude Piersol, was taken from the
sheriff and with a rope around his
neck was led to a tree and given an
opportunity to confess. Stoutly deny.
ing his guilt, he was swung up from
the ground and hanged until he was
black in the face. Then his captors
lowered him and offered him one more
chance for life. Piersol insisted upon
not only his innocence, but that of the
other men and the one woman who
were with him.
Sheriff Webb pleaded with the mob,
and Piersol was released, the mob
leaders declaring they did not intend
to hang an innocent man, but they
did not intend to let Pierson go until
they were satisfied of a reasonable
doubt of his guilt.
Piersol was given bcak into the Sher-
IFS custody and the mob dispersed.
The courts will now decide on the
guilt or innocence of the prisoners.

was kidnapped from his parents home

of $4,000 demanded.

ransom the child but missed the sig
nails the kidnapers said would be dis
played. Saturday the body of the
baby was found in an abandoned well
near Springfield.

RED CROSS ASKS 100000
State Must Raise Huge Sum for War
Needs Of Organization.

Lansing-Michigan is asked to raise.
by subscription, between 100000
and $4,000, 900 for the war expenses Of
the American Red Cross society, which
several Gays ago announced that the
war needs of the organization would
be 100000.
None of the funds thus far collected,
in the state, will be credited to the
new fund, all Of which will be needed
for future use, when the American
armies meet the enemy in Belgium and
France, and for the assistace of de-
pendents of soldiers in their homes
in this country.
The tremendous amount estimated
by the Red Cross officials to be nee
essary is another indication, accord
ing to the members of the state COM
mittee, of the huge scale upon which
America proposes to enter the war in
order that sheer crushing weight will
bring II to a speedy end.
President Wilson has designated the
week OF June 1928 as national Red
Cross week. Michigan is ready to do
her share, as the entire state is or.
ganized, every township and village
having an organization.
The state has already over 100000
Red Cross members-a record for the
United States in proportion to popula-
tion--and the campaigns for subsi-
diary units are expected to bring the
mem bership far In excess of the 300,-
300 mark set by the state committee

AID GIVEN STORM SUFFERERS
Red Cross Directing Relief Work In
Tornado Swept Area.

Lansing.-Red Cross organization in
Battle Creek, Ann Arbor and Jackson

scores of families left homeless by
the tornado which roared across

of the Ann Arbor university spent
several days helping to reconstruct
the buildings that were wrecked.
Various townships are being can

order to reduce the suffering to a
minimum.
Mayor William Sparks of Jackson
announced that $4,000 toward the re-
lief fund would be guaranteed by the

The havoc caused by the storm can
hardly be described. Autos in tree
tops, tree tops in garages, acres of
crops strewn with splintered lumber
acres more under water as result of
the cloudburst which accompanied the
wind-these are a few of the discour-
agements that confront farmers,
many OF whom have seen the fruits
of life time of hard labor swept to
ruins In a couple of minutes.
