.KIDNAP STORY
OF MRS. STOLL
Decribes Dramatic Efforts
to Escape For First Time
Before kentucky Jury

LOUISVILLE, KY, Get s.
(UP)-Attraetive Alice Speed
Stoll. Louisville society matron,
Monday described her desperate
efforts to escape while held for
$4,000 ransom last year by the
man who abducted her from her
fashionable home.
She related the dramatic story
of her captivity for the first time
for benefit of a federal court
jury. Mrs. Stoll, wife of Oil
Magnate Barry V. Stoll, was a
key witness in the Federal Gov
ernment'S attempt to convict
Thomas II. Robinson, Sr., and
Mrs. Frances Robinson of compll-
city in her abduction.
Thomas II. Robinson, Jr., whom
the Government charged engi-
neered the kidnapping, was still at
liberty as the trial opened. For a
year he has masquaraded as a
woman, eluding a relentless hunt
by Federal "G-men."
While a packed court room lis
tened in hushed silence, the pref
ty society matron told how the
kidnaper bound her to a bed in an
indianapolis apartment by wrap
ping her wrists with adhesive
tape. Her mouth was tapped shut,
she said.
although he threated my life
if | tried to escape, l once was
able to loosen the tape on my
mouth and cry for help" she tes-
titled.
Mrs. Stoll was beaten over the
head with a section of pipe when
she was kidnapped from her home
on exclusive Lime Kiln road on
last Oct. 10. She told the Fed
eral court jury the events OF that
night.
al tried to snatch his gun as ne
bound my hands," she said. He
nit me over the head with the
pipe when l tried it"
The eighth witness summoned
by U. S. District Attorney BUNK
Gardner, Mrs. Stoll produced evil
dence highly damaging for the
wife and father of the accused
kidnaper.
She testified that young Ro-
binson told her several times that
he had called his wife and father
concerning the payment OF the
$4,000 ransom.
"He was angry and said things
weren't working out right after
one of the calls" she related.
On these telephone calls, the
Government is resting its attempt
to prove that the elder Robinson
and his daughter-in-law aided the
kidnaper. :,
In his opening statement, Gard
ner charged the elder Robinson
and the fugitive's wife knew tins
whereabouts of the kidnapei
while Mrs. Stoll still was a cap
tive.
