Criminal Arrested
In StoH Kidnap Case

Continued on Page 2, Col. ID
ry Campbell, IN Cleveland; William
Mahan, at San Francisco, and
finally, Robinson, in Glendale.
Ordered Plane
At 9 pm, a federal spokesman
called Grand Central airport and
ordered Douglas Aircraft company
to warm up transport plane and
have it standing by"
At approximately $50 pm, "a
government automobile drove up
an alley near the isolated hangar.
Four federal men hauled the
shackled Robinson from the car.
They had him inside the plane
within three minutes" said one OF
the few persons who observed the
start of the kidnaper's sky ride.
They showed him around a little;
they didn't waste any time or
movements getting him aboard
Robinson was not a criminal with
long police record, having as
sertedly been implicated only in a
few robberies prior to the time he
kidnapped Mrs. Stoll, wife of Berry
v. Stoll, Louisiana Gilman. and
niece to a former United States
ambassador to Germany.
Posing as a telephone inspector,
Robinson gained entrance to the
Stoll home on LouiSvilles exclusive
Lime Kiln road area. When inside
he pretended for a time to check
the telephone connection. Later he
forced the maid, Mrs. Anne Wollett
to lead him upstairs where Mrs.
Stoll was in bed i'll.
Slugged Victim
When Mrs. Stoll offered to. give
him a check if he would leave, Rob-
inson slugged her over the head
With a section of pipe he carried.
He bound the maid and forced the
wounded and bleeding woman into
an automobile.
When Stoll came home he found
a note demanding that $4,000 ran
som be paid to T. j. Robinson, or
his wife, Mrs. T. j. Robinson, jr.
The note threatened death to the
victim if attempts were made to
capture Robinson.
Several days later a new note
changed the method of paying the
ransom, ordering that it be handed
over to Mrs. Robinson.
She took the money to Indiana
polls where Mrs. Stoll was believed
to have been kept a captive. Mrs.
Robinson and Mrs. Stoll were dis
covered driving towards Louisville
| by federal agents.
Although the kidnapers father
and his wife were tried as possible
participants, they were acquitted In
1885.
