sas city and 80 to work and save
enough money to 80 to college.
Park College. near Kansas City,
Wanted 81, 1000
I thought il could set enough
money to 20 to the school, and by
working some during the day, an
hour or two every day, In that way
could pay the tuition. l thought
IL I could save thousand dollars
could start next September. and
no matter how got It would so
straight from then on.
This man asked me what I
thought Of kidnapping some one and
thought wouldn't mind doing it.
I happened to remember that Mr..
Parker had daughter, because, In
working at the bank, this girl
came with him.
I didn't know Just what date It
was. I was there in the bank sew
eral days and ! noticed especially
and / remembered it was his daugh-
ter because she was his favorite
and he would take her down and
buy her lunch, and she was around
the bank like she was q big man.
! didn't think Of her, however, be-.
fore thought of Mr.. Hayes, who
IS chief teller Of the First National
Bank, and I think he has 4 very
young child. I thought Of that first
and thought he would be able to
get the money from him much easier
because he is chief officer OF the
bank and handles hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars. While / was in the
bank saw all the money ship
Enents come in ana used to 90
around the vaults and any place
in the bank and knew practically
everyone there.
Didn't Want Baby
In order to get this little girl,
the younger one, / was afraid 1t
would be harder to handle her.
She was q baby and would prob
ably cry.
thought either Mr.. Hayes or
Mr.. Parker would have sense enough
or I should say good judgment
enough, to consider $500 an easy
settlement in consideration Of their
own daughter.
I meant no harm to either one
but / thought it would be easier
70 handle the older girl than a
little child.
So this man Cramer and I both
went out and he wanted to see
her and get a good look at her and
went to the house to see her and
she came from school and saw
her riding around on a bicycle, but
didn't know she had twin sister
until Thursday morning.
I parked by the house early so
could see her leave for school and
could see which school she went
into and it popped into my mind
that il / went for her at the school
could get her that way.
Didn't Question Him
I did not plan out the results
ahead Of that until saw the girl
that morning. And that afternoon
I read in the papers how, it all
happened. I went and told the
teacher that her father had been
in an automobile accident and this
other girl came over to see which
one Of the girls / wanted and 1
said wanted the younger one.
She looked younger, but it turned
out they were twins, but she didn't
question me. anyway.
They asked what was her first
name, so told them didn't remem-
Der, but told them worked at the
bank. didn't give my real name.
forget the name / did give them.
When they asked me which girl I
wanted, and said the younger one.
They asked me if it was Marian.
said, Yes, that's the one the father
is calling for Then one OF the
other teachers went and got the girl,
and saw that was the same girl I
had seen in front Of the house.
She Asked Questions
When the girl got in the car
with me she started asking ques-
tiOns about what had happened and
how it happened and who hit him
and / made answers to all her quee-
tiOnS. When we started back we
Just had q general conversation,
talking about picture shows and
merchants and school and anything
that came uD i'm conversation gener-
ally with people. We got so well
and closely acquainted that ] really
kind Of liked her. 1 couldn't look
ner in the face when I told her she
was kidnapped as though nothing
had happened.
When I told her nothing had
really happened to her father she
didn't scream or worry or anything.
She took it as calm as could be
and I told her she could realize
IL got caught what I would have
to suffer and I would have to tie
her nose and tie her mouth so she
couldn't make any noise and she
said: please don't do it. I will
promise not to make any Noise" So
! didn't tie her and we drove
around all that afternoon and went
to show that night, even TO a
picture show, the Rialto Theater In
Alhambra, and she didn't do or say
anything much.
Intended No Harm
I really didn't intend to do her
any harm and here IL where this
other mans part Of il played in. He
was to have the hiding place for the
girl and to keep her quiet and was
supposed to get the money.
My partner only wanted two or
three hundred dollars out of the fif-
teen hundred. He said he didn't
want much money, anyway. He
the girl and holding her more than
getting the money. Thursday, that
night after the show, met this man
and he took the girl in charge. The
next day saw her. That was Fri
day evening.
Well, / kept writing all those let
ters and had her to write letter to
her father making It seem like she
was being treated badly and / don't
know what he did, but she didn't
seem to like this man and didn't
