sters VINO kidnapped Earl L. Yocum,
millionaire president of the Yocum
State bank, from his home and
held him captive for four days,
while they negotiated for $4,000
ransom, released him unframed
today.
II was treated kindly and well
cared for, but do not care to dis
cuss the terms on which I was
freed" Yocum told the United Press,
after returning to Galva from At
kinson, twenty miles northwest.
II have no idea where the men
who kidnapped me went after getting
me away from my house Saturday
night" Yocum continued. Every
step they took must have been well
planned in advance. They knew
Just what they wanted, and they
went about getting it without hest
tation."
Bandage Kept on Eyes
"They drove me in an automobile
to Atkinson this morning. - said Yo-
cum. ''I had blindfold and could
not see where we were or what sort
of country we went through.
when they got to Atkinson they
left the bandage on my eyes, and
helped me out of the autmobile. I
was told not to look until they had
left.
81 took off the bandage and found
was on a street in Atkinson. The
first thing 1 did was go to garage
and ask assistance in getting back
to Galva. I knew my wife would
be frantic and all I thought about
was getting back home and COM

Offered Use of Automobile
1.-THE garage offered me the use
of an automobile and sent boy
to drive me home" continued the
banker. "I would have been too
nervous to drive alone.
'I am mighty glad to be back
here and am mighty proud of the
bravery of Mrs Yocum. Mrs. Yocum
was the first person to greet her
husband when the borrowed auto
mobile stopped at the side OF their
home.
Yocum greeted his wife and his
two daughters, Mary, 13, and Ann,
8, the unwilling instruments of the
kidnapping plot 1t was on his re-
turn from a trip with the two girls
to a theater that Yocum was forced
to accompany the kidnapers.
Too Happy for Words
Galva, town of 1000, learned
of its most prominent citizens
safety from A. E. Anderson, cashier
Of the Yocum State bank, and
close friend of Yoculn.
Anderson was the only person
Mrs. Yocum took into her conf
dence after the kidnapers' ransom
demands had been served on her in
a special delivery letter.
II am too happy for words" Mrs.
Yocum said in the dining room of
her home while she served break
fast for her husband. II am very
grateful to authorities for allowing
me to handle everything myself"
Yocum'S kidnapers were believed
to have been members of the same
gang responsible for the abduction
of half dozen wealthy persons in
the state during the last year.
None of the victims ever would
discuss their experiences further
than to say they had been treated
well.
Yocum was said to have been sew
eral times millionaire. In addi-
ton to controlling the bank which
he took over after his fathers death
fifteen years ago, he had a hand in
many industries.
