with her now"
 On her way back to jail she seemed on the verge of physical collapse.
 The government case against her, as summarized by Sparks, is the charge that she collected the $50,000 ransom money in Nash vile, took it to her husband in Indianapolis and accepted $550 of it for herself. A small part of Il she spent.
 Stoll Family To Help Nathan said her action in ac- companying Mrs Stoll to the home of Mrs Stol1's relatives in Indian apolis, the Rev and Mrs E. Arnold Clegg, and her return with them to Scottsburg, Ind, where federal agents arrested her, was a "miti- gating circumstance"
 Berry Stoll said he was "grate. full" to Mrs Robinson because 'she saved my wife's life."
 It generally was believed Stol' had promised to aid in defending Mrs Robinson against government prosecution. One report said the Elder Robinson, a bridge contrac' tor, also aided in preventing hi. wild son from carrying out g threat to kill Mrs Stoll in captivity
 A 1,200 word ransom note, which young Robinson wrote showed ht hated all members of the Stol family because he was discharged from a job as filling station at. tendnt for the Stoll Refining Com pany.
 Mrs Robinson's part in the kid naping was revealed fully for thu first time in a short interview with Berry Stoll as he leaned ove' the front gate of his guarded, 16 acre estate.
 My wife said she was very wei treated during her captivity in In dianapolis," he said. "Ehe wa beaten before she was placed il the kidnaper's car = struck twic' on the head - but was not harmed afterward."
 When she arrived in Indianapo' lis, he said. she was weak from less of blood but & temperature o1 103 degrees from which she sui. fered during a cold in the week preceding the Kidnapping wal almost gone.
 Mrs stoll said that when tn, kidnaper left the apartment ht bound and gagged her with ad hesive tape and left her in close' as long as three or four hours. "She said she thought she woult die."
 Talked With Kidnaper Mrs Robinson, similar in figure to Mrs Stoll, gave her a blue cot ton house dress. She wore thu garment when released.
 Fearing her jailer in moments Q sullen abstraction might decide t kill her, Mrs Stoll talked to hin extensively about communism, re ligion, mathematics and mechan
 "Ie seemed we'll informed" he husband quoted her, "but h' showed signs of mental instabil ity."
 The wealthy captive cooket meals for herself and Robinsel and washed dishes and tidied th' apartment before arrivel of Mir Robinson Tuesday with the ran som money. Stoll said that a deep cut on hi wife's forehead, inflicted by tn, lead pipe with which she wa slugged, was almost healed. Sh, no longer requires a physician. "She particularly asked abou Mrs Robinson" Stoll said, land ex pressed a desire that no harm come to her."
 District Attorney Sparks woul; not reveal what evidence he haI against the elder Robinson, He wal named in the ransom note as al intermediary, but his active par ticipation in the plot has not beer shown.

Connecticut Board of Fisheries Makes Decision To-
 day-Spawning Activities Delayed By Winter


 Hartford, April j6-The state board of fisheries and game today announced that all state-leased fishing waters would be open to anglers when the trout and pond fishing season begins April 15. s
 Due to the record breaking win- ter weather, which has delayed spawning activities of pond fishes far beyond the usual period and has Held trout planting trucks at the state hatcheries weeks behind schedule, the, board has, contem- plated setting back fishing sea- sons on a number of leased streams and ponds. It was finally determin- ed, however, that the boards -au- thirty extended only to closing of such streams or ponds but not to extending the season beyond the period established by law. A bill which would have granted the board the discretionary power needed to act in situations such as the present emergency failed of passage in the last general assem- bly.

prevailing low water temperatures, caused by heavy snows and the unseasonably late movement of ice out of ponds have delayed the us- ual spring spawning of yellow perch and pickerel. When the sea- son on these fish open April 15, many of them will be full of spawn and unsuitable for eating. Thus. the board points out, the date for opening the season this year inter- feres with natural propagation and defeats the prime purpose of closed season laws.
 Eben w. Cobb, chief of the di- vision of fish restoration, stated today that by redoubled efforts of the fish-planting crews assisted by the wardens, working the trucks as well as men overtime, the state- leased streams and most of the oth- CT streams in the state would be well stocked by the opening day. E Under this plan about eight tons, more than 10000 brook, brown and rainbow trout, or about one- third of the seasons planting, will be distributed by the time Con-

 The cloud has blown over, though their attitude toward one another was strained. And then, despite the promise she had exact- ed from him, he had taken this girl out again. The tale had been brought to Miriam by woman friend. Evidently another late ses- sion at the office, and dinner at 8 nearby restaurant, an atmospheric place with crooning music and high-walled booths. The same sickening wave of jealousy engulfed her. She waited till after dinner before she flung at him: "So you can't even keep a promise!"
 What's this, Miriam. Are you putting on an act again!"
 "You took that Graham girl out to dinner the other night"
 "Whoever your informant is, she doesn't know everything. As 8 matter of fact, Miss Graham took me-"
 "This is too serious a matter to joke about, Stephen"

 "And despite your promise to me you went"
 "Promise! Promise!" he almost shouted. How you can stick on a line. I had nothing in my mind except that we could eat and rush back. But she had made it point because she wanted me to meet the man she is going to marry. He was waiting at the Richmond for her. That's simply all" Mt
