Nancy to come out with the truth.
That's the way to meet it."
"As if she had anything to tell
she can't have!!" Angie turned in

Ne shook his head. "No! But
there's something at the bottom of
it; too much smoke, Angie"
1t was ten days before Haddon
heard the story, a garbled story,
but he came home white with rage.

you'd started this!' he stormed

LA JUNTA, Col, June Is
UNS). Sheriff Gridley, OF
Tucson, Ariz.. was expected at La
Junta today to question Don Rod
riguez, %, Of Globe, Ariz., a pris-
oner in the Otero county jail here,
in regard to the kidnapping Of
6-year-old June Robes In Tucson
on April 26.
Sheriff Paul Whitton, who has
questioned Rodriguez, said he felt
certain that his prisoner knew
who kidnapped the Robes girl.
Rodriguez was arrested at Rocky
Ford, Col, on June 10 after he had
been knocked unconscious by
Harry Mendenhall, president Of a
bank, who found him in his house
at night. Police declare Rodriguez
had gone to the bankers house to
kidnap him. Another man, who
assertedly stood watch outside,
escaped.
Rodriguez pleaded guilty to
charges of burglary in connection
with the Rocky Ford crime. He
will be sentenced in District Court
here next Saturday.
Remarks made to other pris-
oners in the county Jail here are
believed to have aroused suspicion
that Rodriguez might be involved
in the Arizona kidnapping. He
was quoted as saying he was "glad
to get out of Arizona" He told
Sheriff Whitton that he came
here directly from Globe, beating
his way on freight trains.
