Heavy pedestrian traffic passed
back and forth because of a deli
catessen and tavern in the base
ment of the apartment building.
Robinson received deliveries, po-
lice believed. from several nearby
business establishments without
arousing suspicion. Mrs. Stoll said
after her release that she was afraid
to give an alarm because of Robin
sons threats.
Describing the kidnapping, she said
he struck her or the head with
length of pipe, and carried her from
a sick bed in her exclusive home on
Lime Kiln-rd, near Louisville, Oct.
10, 1884. She was then driven i'm
mediately to the indianapolis hide
out.
Mrs. Stoll was released by Robin
son on Oct. 16, 1884. after he was
alleged to have received the $4,000
ransom brought from Nashville,
Tenn, by his wife. Before he left
the apartment, he bound Mrs. Stoll
and locked her. in clothes closet.
Throwing $500 on the table for the
two women, he calmly walked out of
the building with the remaining
500.
Following delivery of the ransom
in indianapolis, Mrs. Stoll, accom-
panied by Robinsons wife, walked
to the home of Mrs. E. Arnold Clegg,
1856 N. Capitol-av. Mr.. Stoll's cou-
sin.
The two women persuaded Mrs.
Clegg ard her husband, the Rev. E.
Arnold Clegg, pastor of the Capitol
Avenue M. E. Church, to motor them
to Louisville, Federal agents inter-
cepted their car at Scottsburg. Fed
eral agents released the Cleggs.
Mrs. Robinson and Robinson's
father, Thomas H. Robinson ST.,
later went to trial in connection with
the case, but were acquitted Oct. IS,
1885.
When Mrs. Stoll was in the Clegg
home she refused to divulge any,
thing about her kidnapping. Later
she said Mrs. Robinson had been
promised immunity from prosecu-
ton. Following the trial Mr.. and
Mrs. Stoll said, I'VE don't think
justice was DONE
