KIDNAPPING OF
RICH BANKER
Posse Captures Man Who Is
Said to Have Conducted
Extortion Deal.
PLANES AID IN HUNT
illinois Police Now Think
Abduction Was Carried
Out by Amateurs.

KEWANEE, Ill, Oct. 30-Verne
Algren, alleged to have conducted
negotiations for the kidnapers of
Earl L. Yocum, millionaire Calva.
(Ill) banker, was captured today in
farm house by members of the
posse seeking the extortionists.
The farm house is on the West
rand farm on the Lone Tree road,
five miles from the cornf1eld where
three men believed to have been
the kidnapers wrecked their auto
mobile and escaped early today.
Algren was busy with needle and
thread, repairing a rent in his
trousers, when the officers walked
into the farmhouse. He had removed
the trousers and had no opportu-
nifty to make a move before Or
dered to surrender.
Planes Aid in Hunt
The arrest of Algren came while
other members of the posse were
being aided by two airplanes as they
roared over the surrounding farms
in the search for Yocum's abduc-
tors.
Algren was named earlier today
by Ed Mckee, CO. a farmer living
not far away, as the man who APP
preached him last week with an
offer of 500 a day for the use of
his farm as a hideout in which Yo-
cum could be kept while his kid
napers demanded ransom.
Mckee named three other men,
of whom, Orville Whiskers, is I'M
der arrest at Cambridge, III. Still
another suspect, Edward Murphy,
a Galva restaurant owner, was be-
ing questioned in Chicago.
Think AbductOrS Amateurs
Yocums release by his abductors
in Atkinson, Ill, Wednesday start
ed rapid sequence of events that
convinced authorities his kidnapping
was an amateur plot.
While Yocum, under guard at his
estate in Galva, continued to deny
that he gave authorities any as
sistance, it was believed that his
failure to keep a rendezvous with
the extortionists early today was
the turning point in the hunt for
the gang.
Policemen came upon three or
four members of the gang at Lone
Tree, Landmark near Kewanee,
as the result, it was said, of an
appointment the gang made with
Yocum.
Identify Stolen Car
Kewanee authorities believed Yo-
cum had won freedom by promising
to meet the kidnapers at Lone Tree
and pay them $4,000.
The number of men who fled from
the stolen automobile abandoned
after a pursuit from the Lone Tree
rendezvous was placed at four be-
cause that many revolvers we're
found in it,
However, Oh the basis of other
developments, it was believed there
were only three. One was said to
have been Algren.
Their automobile, it was found,
was stolen from a Galva man at
Kewanee last week. Iowa license
plates, from another stolen ma
chine, had been transferred to it.

Mrs. Alean DeIehanty Now
Is Caring for Second
Abandoned Child.

Lightning may not strike twice in
the same place, but you never could
prove it by Mrs. Alean Delehanty,
80 North Pine street.
In December of 1929, baby was
left to be boarded at the home of
Mrs. Delehanty and her sister, and
the mother did not return.
Today another baby, 16-months-
old, has been abandoned by his
mother and Mrs. Delehanty and her
sister are beginning to believe their
good nature is being imposed upon.
Left Three Weeks Ago
THE baby-we call him Louis and
I think his last name is something
like Sebastian-waS left to be
boarded with us three weeks ago
by his mother" Mrs. Delehanty
told The Times today.
"She came to our home in a
coupe driven by a man. She paid
81 for one weeks board and said
her husband was outof the city and
that she wanted to leave him with
us while she hunted for work., she
said.
She described the woman as be-
tween Is and 80 years of age,
wearing a green crepe dress.
Looked Lot Like Louie
"She had dark brown i 9ir and
brown eyes and looked a lot like
LOUIE. She didn't leave many
clothes for him. She called up on
the phone several times after leav-
ing him, and on one occasion, sent
the man who drove her to the house
with additional clothing for the
baby, but she hasn't been back
since" Mrs. Delehanty said.
She expressed the belief the
child'S mother was in poor circum-
stances.
The baby left at the Delehanty
home one year ago was Herbert
Smith.
Mother Returned Later
Later his mother returned and
took him, but relinquished care of
nm to another home, Mrs. Dele
hanty said.
Il didn't get any address of the
mother when the Smith baby was
left and didn't get one when Louie
was brought three weeks ago.
"But, believe me, if another
mother comes, she's going to give me
her home address and I'm going to
know she lives there before take
her child.
TITS just getting to be too much
of a good thing, even though I do
like children" Mrs. Delehanty con-
Guided as her sister voted approval
with nodding head.

how much the fine and cost
amounted to. I told him S45 and
he then told me he would pay it and
could pay the amount to the JUS
tice of the peace.
Il took the $45 and gave him a
receipt. A copy of the receipt was
printed in The Times Tuesday, Oct.
%. I then took this $45 and paid
it to the justice of peace, Russ
Woods, which was in full for the
fine and costs"
Sheriff Lucas reply was in an
swer to charges of Morgan county
residents that the sheriff made no
attempt to seize liquor found while
firemen battled a blaze at the
Checkerboard lunch stand on the
Bloomington road three weeks ago.
Sheriff Lucas statement:
"At the time of the fire of the
Checkerboard inn, Oct. 2, I was
away from home on official business
and did not know of this fire until
my return on Oct. 3. I then re-
ceived information that the occu-

WILKEY TO Be
SHIFTED FROM
STATE DRY JOB
James G. Browning Will
Become Southern Indiana
Administrator.

John w. Wilkey, acting deputy
prohibition administrator here for
the southern Indiana district, en-
bracing Sixty-two counties, will be
transferred to Washington Nov. l.
He will be succeeded temporarily
in the Indianapolis prohibition
Office by James G. Browning,
former acting deputy and now pro-
hibition investigator for the entire
state.
Wilkey has served exactly one year
in the post he leaves Saturday. To-
day he confirmed the report he has
been assigned as an investigator to
work directly under Amos Woodcock,
national prohibition director.
Change Long Predicted
The change has loomed for some
time as a result of dissatisfaction
said to have been expressed in GER,
tain quarters over the type of cases
made by Wilkey. Persons have been
brought into court for possessing
small quantities of home brew or
wine.
Woodcock has announced it is the
policy of the prohibition department
to concentrate on the commercial
bootlegger aand not on private indi-
viduals.
Charges of lack of cooperation
also have been made for some time
by various law enforcement organ
izations of the county.
Wilkey, who was born and
reared in Greencastle, came here
Nov. 1, 1929, from the Philadelphia
dry Office. He succeeded Browning,
who was named investigator for the
entire state.
Wholesale Shifts FOreseen
Browning was appointed when
George L. Winkler, sheriff, failed
in examinations to qualify for the
post, and later resigned after be-
coming a candidate for sheriff.
1t was believed the change may
result in a wholesale shifting of
federal dry agents in the state.
Woodcock expressed himself as
we'll pleased with Wilkey's work
when he was here on an inspection
tour last week.
Wilkey today pointed out that the
department under his direction has
been active in forty-two of the
sixty-two counties in this district.
He said that although handi-
capped by force of but ten men,
two of whom have been i'll. excel
lent work has been accomplished. "
