noon Monday from mysterious err
rand in the interior Of Sonora, Mex

The grizzled former cattle baron's
sudden temperance after his unex-
planned Mexico trip Of q night and q
half q day was almost simultaneous
with the first public overture to deal
with six-year June's abductors.
The circumstances gave impetus to
reports that definite arrangements
for an exchange were being made on
the part Of the family and that final
details, including the preparation OF
the ransom money, had awaited only
the grandfather'S return.
Meanwhile, agents for both the
United States and Mexican govern

tice agents already have taken a
hand In attempts to effect the safe
return OF the brown-eyed girl who
was kidnapped last Wednesday. They
were understood to have expressed
approval Of the mission Of the elder
Robes. at whose wealth the $4,000
ransom demand was directed. Reli-
able reports said that his mission was
for the purpose Of contracting the
girls abductors, perhaps personally.
One rumor. upon which authorities
failed to comment publicly, was that
the abduction was the work Of John
Dillinger henchmen In retaliation for
the capture OF the midwest desperate
and three companions here several
months ago. At that time they
threatened to return and revenge
themselves.
