the Panhandle wheat district. around
Wellington, Kiowa and kfngman, rain
averaged one and one-half inches.
Wheat thruout the entire state is

said. Prospects are now for a first
class crop.

Friends had gathered in the lobby.
A party started for the sixth floor IN
one of the elevators. As the cage

the occupant of the car. He is be-
lieved to have been one Of the alb

Room 651 was locked but was
opened without difficulty. and Paul

The boy said he had been in the

Lexington postoffice with one of the
kidnapers Wednesday. A large part
of the time, he said, he was locked in
the bath room.
Paul said he was guarded by two
men. Hotel records show the room
was occupied on Sunday by a man who
registered as J. P. Cox, Cincinnati,
Ohio.
Hotel employees said the room was
occupied SO far as they knew by only
one man.
Evidence that the abduction was
planned in advance was found in the
fact that the man who occupied the
room had wired his reservation several
days before he reached the city.
The boy gave a description oil the
two kidnapers. He said one of the
men left the room some time before
the arrival of his mother but the other
had just closed the door when his
