KANSAS CITY, December t.
Frankly and vividly, 26-year Mary
McElroy revealed today her foremost
ambition-to make normal, accept
able citizens" of three men who two
and a half years ago kidnapped her
for 10000 ransom.
The dreadful memory of so har-
rowing hours the brunette daughter
of City Manager H. F. McElroy spent
chained to a basement wall in a small
Kansas town finally has faded. In
its place, she said, is an intense in
terest in the well-being of the men
convicted of her abduction.
Right now" she declared, the
paramount interest in my life is to
help those men redeem themselves TO
society: Nothing is more important" 4"
Twice she suffered nervous break
downs. Once she fed from home in
a sudden retreat from the city where
every one knew me as the girl who
was kidnapped"

when Miss McElroy interceded in his
behalf.
The young woman visited the State
penitentiary at Jefferson City this
week to talk with "the boys"
''George-that's the little one-is
taking a high school course and Is
doing pretty well, I think. At least
he is interested in the work, and there
certainly is an improvement in his
grammar" Miss McElroy sends him
books and other small gifts. Recently
she arranged for an instructor from
the correspondence school to visit
him.
Walter Makes Gifts.
walter hasn't quite become ac-
customed to life at Jefferson City yet,
of course" she remarked. Held in
the county Jail here for the long
months he was fighting execution,
Walter MCGEE was transferred to the
State prison last July after his SEN

But he wouldn't be interested in
school work anyway. He's not like
that. He's more like this" She dis

She will help Click find job after
his release.
Miss McElroy declined to discuss
parole possibilities for the three men.
Anything like that is so remote,
so in the future" she said.

"They can be good citizens right

TED HEALY OUT
ON BOND

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 27.-Ted
Healy, stage and screen comedian,
is out today on a writ of habeas
corpus and $1,000 bail. But that
doesn't worry him quite as much
as the fact he faces charges OF
arson in court today and is also
worse k-apprehenSive he
may lose a film contract.
Healy will be questioned today
on charges he set fire to furni-
ture in the home of Marion Bon
nell, actress friend, early Christ
mas morning. Healy says he
didn't. The police have some
evidence to the contrary, they
say.
AS if that weren't enough, the
comedian mournfully admitted
today that a $50, 900 film contract
may go up in much the same
sort of smoke that police charge
the furniture went up in.
