CANGSTERS SOUGHT
IN KIDNAPPING CASE
Police Work on Theory RAN
som Was Paid for Dr..
KeIIey's Release.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, April 29.-Despite denials
from the victim, members of his family,
and his close friends, police today were
working on a theory substantial ran
som was paid for the release yesterday
of DR.. Isaac D. Kelley, jr., prominent
physician.
Three gangsters, all former members
of the notorious Cuckoo gang here, but
now allegedly allied with the equally
notorious Shelton gang in Southern
Illinois, were being sought in the case.
Police believed the gangsters. who
disappeared from their customary
haunts at about the time of the kid
naping have definite knowledge Of the
abduction.
DR.. Kelley's description Of one Of his
abductors as well educated, probably
a university graduate" started police
in pursuit of the gangster trio. One
of the men sought is Of good education,
while another is wanted by Government
authorities on serious charge.
Unable to Describe Men.
Investigators counted on little aid
from DR.. Kelley. He said he was I'M
able to describe the men because they
giles when they were in his presence, or
were masked when he was not wearing
the goggles.
Police were anxious to see three let
tiers Dr. Kelley said he wrote to his
wife while he was held captive. A de-
tective called at the Kelley home last
night hoping to see the letters, but
was told all members of the family
were SO fatigued that rest was impera-
tive.
Come back tomorrow and We will
talk it over" William d. Orthwein, I'd,
brother in-law of Mrs. Kelley, told him.
Chief of Police Joseph Clerk said to-
day DR.. KelleyS release by no means"
ended investigation of the case. He
said police had received no informa-
ton indicating the family had been in
communication with the kidnapers, and
added: IF we can get sufficient evil
dence on which to base prosecution for
conspiracy, we will do everything pos
sible to apprehend the guilty parties"
Released to Reporter.
DR. Kelley, who was abducted In St.
Louis County the night of April 90
after being called from his home by a
fake sick call, was released early yes
terday near East st. Louis, ILL., to John
T. Rogers, st. Louis Post-Dispatch re-
porter. Rogers said he was conducted
to the physician by a man whom he
met after receiving an anonymous tele-
phone call that a friend wanted to see
him. The reporter said he had no idea
why Dr. Kelley was delivered to him,
and likewise stated he had no intima-
ton why the physician was suddenly
released after being held a prisoner for
a few hours more than week.

the woods a thousand feet from the flre
house. On the head, which had sunk
several inches into the mud, was

going to stick around and take all the
blame. That's why am going to take
my life I'm going to make sure OF II

gun"
Wetmore lived with his parents,

This morning he left the house and
went to a woodland about 200 yards

I'm a constitutional question such as
this one Judge Wanamaker should

evidence has been introduced in the
KaSsay case" Hargreaves declared.
1t requires six out Of seven justices
Of the State Supreme Court to declare
law unconstitutional and four out OF
seven to declare it constitutional, he
pointed out.
THE State has enough evidence TO
convict KaSsay on the indictment"

what the State intended to prove in the
