boy said tonight. "He put a pistol to
my face and threatened to kill me if
cried out or tried to escape" Paul
received only two bananas, an apple
and cake while he was prisoner.
Immediately after being taken into
the room of the Phoenix Hotel Wednes-
day, the boy said his captor used the
telephone, and he heard him say "Come
on Jack, he's here" That night yhen
he was locked in the bathroom Paul
was unable to sleep and said he sat
upon the edge Of the bathtub all night
He thought he smelled ether in the
room, but he did not go to sleep. 1t

$3.50 o'clock the man came in and said
he had some fruit and asked me if

banana and an apple and he went away.
About noon, think it was, he gave me
another banana and cake. That was
all l had to eat the entire time.
He didn't talk very much yesterday
Once he allowed me to go over to the
window and look out. He allowed me
to stay in the room as long as he was

The window blinds of the room were

Special D;spatch to The Tribune

If10un0
LEXINGTON, KY, March 26.-Har-
rowing experiences were undergone by
Paul Little, twelve years old, son of
r. r. Little. millionaire land owner,
before Paul himself gave the clew to-
day to his whereabouts. The boy was
kidnapped late Wednesday, and until
1920 o'clock this morning was held a
prisoner in bathroom on the sixth
floor of the Phoenix Hotel, in the CEN
ter of this city and within two blocks
of the courthouse and police station.
twenty-five thousand dollars ransom
money had been demanded, and this
amount was placed in garbage can in
front of a, store near the courthouse
last night. 1t remained there for forty
minutes, but nobody touched it. Six
teen shotguns, held by men hidden in
upstairs windows of neighborng build
ings, covered the can during the entire
period, and if any one had reached into
the can bullets would have torn him to
bits.
Forgets to Lock Door
For the first time since his confine-
ment, the kidnaper, who was registered
at the hotel as ~. C. Cox" of Cincn-
natl, this morning left the door of the
bathroom unlocked.
Ever since he had been captive Paul
had tried the door at brief intervals to
sec if it would open. When he found
the door unfastened this morning he
dashed to the wall telephone, called his
home, and within ten minutes was in
the arms Of his parents.
The kidnaper entered the lobby of
the hotel from the elevator just as the
littlo family rushed in. The abductor
escaped, but the detectives believe they
have a good clew and expect an arrest
very soon.
1t is thought the kidnapping plot was
formed in Cincinnati, detectives said
tonight

TO the high material market. were
approximately $1,000 more than the
estimated cost, $4,000.
Ira Short, commissioner elect
from commissioners district No. 2,
who met with the board Monday,
agreed that he would be willing to
let the contract and then. with Frank
wooden, reelected com missioner, a
