Relief Worker Tells Police
He Thought Victim, 5,
Was Dead.

Dy Cntt6U FFeSS
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Oct. Is.
Lawrence Stone, "a, today signed
a confession that he killed 5-year-
old Nancy Jean Costigan in the
basement of a fashionable apart
ment house and stuffed her body
into the white hot firebox of the
furnace.
The child's body was found in the
f1rebox yesterday. 1t had been re-
duced to charred bones and would
have been consumed entirely if dis
covery had been delayed five min
uteS.
Carl Hutchinson, building serv-
ant, followed a trail of blood down a
steel stairway that ended in a large
puddle of blood in front of the fur
mace. An hour before he had no.
ticed Nancy playing with a rubber
ball on the apartments terraced
lawn and had seen her talking to
Stone.
He called police who came racing
in an automobile that collided with
another a block from the building.
When the ambulance arrived to take
three slightly injured policemen to
the hospital, Stone showed up, his
hands and clothes covered with
blood. He first said he had been
in the accident.
After nine hours of questioning,
Stone confessed that they had been
playing with the childs rubber ball
in the basement. He threw it, 1t
struck her head He said she
dropped heavily, her head hitting
the concrete floor. She was blue, he
detected no sign of life. Panic
stricken, he told police, he carried
the body around several minutes,
then thought of the furnace.
The body was so badly charred it
was impossible for physicians to de-
termine if the child had been as
saulted. Identification was estab-
lished through a child's ring and
charred bits of clothing.

FONTAINEBLEAU, France, Oct.
15.-Sylvester Malny, regarded as
one of the chief conspirators in the
assassination of King Alexander of
Yugoslavia, was arrested today on
the Melun road, near Fontainebleau
forest.
Malny escaped into the forest last
week, when he eluded police who
had stopped him at Fontainebleau
station to examine his papers. He
was sought through the woods for
four days. When caught today he
submitted without resistance.
Malny, who has various aliases,
was identified as Janof Bombay.
According to confessions made to
French police by his fellow plotters
already under arrest, Malny left
Hungary with them for Lausanne
and Zurich, Switzerland, going
from there to Paris and then at
AK En- Province, near Marseille, for
the assassination.
Malny gave final instructions
there and fastened to Fontainebleau
to direct a second attempt on the
king in Paris if the first failed.
Police found him haggard and
hungry, struggling in exhaustion to-
ward Paris several miles from the
forest, in which he had lodged hun
dreds of police.

from his flight in the woods, he
gulped the coffee greedily. Other

in Letter, The Times is Told; Crash
Victims Story Is Doubted.
BY HAROLD LA POLT
Times StaG Writer

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 15-One of the greatest man
hunts in southern history launched here this afternoon
as federal agents and police extended into Indiana their
search for Mrs Alice Speed So young Kentucky society
matron, and her kidnapers.
With late today scheduled the hour for contact
by the kdnapers the department of justice investigators
and grmaced southern possemen vainy searched the wild
and sparsey settled territory around Jeersonvle Ind
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-15

Authorities gave no indica-
ton that this extension of the
hunt to Indiana was inspired
by anything more tangible
than the desire to leave no
stone unturned in the effort
to find the missing young ma
iron.
An example of this attention to
every possible angle having a bear
ing on the case was the checking
of the alibi of Fowler Violet, handy
man on the Stoll estate, who was
absent last Thursday when Mrs.
Stoll was kidnapped.
It was learned on high authority
that Violet, husband of the maid
who was with Mrs. Stoll when she
was abducted, has accounted salts
factorily for all of the time he spent
away from the estate.
This exclusive residential district
in Louisville, where headquarters for
the search are maintained, is vast
whispering gallery of rumors, many
of them of the widest type.
One which gained wide circulation
and which was disproved by The
Times, was that the missing young
matron had been married prior to
her union with Berry v. Stoll and
that police and federal agents were
looking for the divorced husband.
Father-in-Law Target
Examinations of records at JEFF
ferson county courthouse by Times
reporters disclosed that Mr.. and
Mrs. Stoll both listed themselves as
single when they obtained a mar
riage license in June of 1927. They
we're then 33 and 81, respectively,
and witnesses at the marriage cere-
mony read by the Rev Frank
Hardy we're William A. Stoll and
Virginia H. Speed.
Meanwhile, The Times learned
that Mrs. Stoll probably was sub
stitute victim of the kidnaper and
that the man who seized her in her
suburban nome last Wednesday orig
inally intended to abduct her
wealthy father-in-law, Charles G.
Stoll.
This was indicated today when
The Times learned additional amaz-
ing details of the ransom letter
which was left in Mrs. Stoll's
boudoir.
Excerpts from the letter, obtained
from an informant whose identity
can not be disclosed, we're confirmed
partly by William Schmidt, night
police chief.
Chief Schmidt admitted that an
out-state man has been named as
an intermediary and that five day
contact limit, which expires today,
has been established
Maltreatment Is Denied
He denied, however, published re-
ports that the name of Charles c.
Stoll appeared in the letter This
agreed with information obtained
by The Times, because throughout
the letter, only the words Mr..
Stoll'' we're used and the use of
first name was avoided.
Chief Schmidt denied empatically
story that Mrs. Stoll and her maid
had been the victim OF any NAL
treatment other than the blow on
the head which Mrs. Stol received.
Sections Of the ransom letter.
hitherto undisclosed and guarded
closely by federal agents, police and
members of the family, indicate
that:
/. The intended victim was not
Mrs. Stoll, but Charles C. Stoll, her
father-in-law, and president of the
refining company which bears his
name and of which Mrs. Stolls hus-
band is vice-president.
2. Mrs. Stoll beam the victim
after the letter was written and
when the kidnaper's plans were
changed suddenly.
