 officers of four western Illinois
 counties have concentrated since early yesterday on thorough search of the densely-wooded marshland along the eastern bank

 bootleggers. Parts of the section
 are accessable only on foot and
 with considerable difhcuit. Police admit the kidnapers might hide

 value although the company had 1 gone into bankruptcy. He felt he was responsible for the investors losing their money.
 Luer suffered from a heart ail-
 ment and his family feared for his fife should he be seized with an attack while in the kidnapers' hands. They issued q statement on his health, his diet, and the meas sures necessary in case of an at-
 tack, hoping tho kidnapsrs would read it.
 The 75-year-oid wife of the banker. who was slightly injured
 in attempting to fight of the ab- ductors. was bearing up well. Her only statement was the often re- peated: Poor Papai I'm 10 lone. somei I wonder where he is."
