PLOTTERS
Kenneth, Cyril Buck Involve
Others in MCMath Case;
Refuse to Give Names

PROVINCETOWN, Mass,
May s (I.N.S.).-"Not guilty"
was the plea of Kenneth
Buck, kidnaper of Peggy Nc
Math, 10-year-old heiress, and
his brother, Cyril Buck, who
acted as his contact man in
the ransom negotiations with
the McMath family when they
were arraigned in the Second
District Court of Province
town this afternoon.
Overshadowing the court pro-
ceedings, however, was the SEN
sational statement of Kenneth
Buck to newspaper men while
waiting for arraignment, that
"others" were involved in the
kidnapping besides him and his
brother. In an evasive way he
indicated there we're two others
mixed up in the plot.
Hearing Set for May %
After Kenneth Buck had made
this statement to the press, De-
tective Lieutenant Ernest Brad
ford talked with the prisoner.
Then Bradford told the reporters
Kenneth had denied he said two
others were invoved. However,
Bradford declared the authorities
would run down every scintilla of
evidence" He indicated the case
was not closed.
Both Kenneth and Cyril Buck
were held in 100000 bail each by
Judge Robert A. WEIGH, who
granted them a two-weeks' con-
tinuance of the hearing until
May %.
Buck said he did not sign a
confession. He would not say
whether he confessed verbally.
Meanwhile, photographers were
standing on the judges desk and
on top of chairs popping flash
lights as Kenneth and Cyril were
being interviewed.

him to get response. He said:

trucks nearly two miles long, from
Baltimor Philadelphia, New

the parade was under way, with
a heavy police escort.
