 Kidnapped Monday

that if they wished to see their baby alive they were to say nothing about the Kidnapping to anyone, particu- larly to authorities and newspapers and were to pay $10,000 in five, ten, twenty, and fifty dollar bills.
 On the back of the note was drawn a crude map of the Redland citrus district, of which Princeton is a center. This map showed roads and directed Cash, when he got the ransom ready, to take zig-zag drive over them, signaling with his head lights at five carefully designated places.
 Late last night. Cash drove off in his automobile. He was alone. He re- turned after an hour and a half and it was reported that he had been fulfilling the instructions of the note. Whether he had pair the ran- some or had contacted the kidnap- CTS was his secret.
 Mrs. Cash was distraught. She told friends that her baby seemed to have had 8 foreboding of evil. He had not wanted her to leave him, though, ordinarily, he did not mind being left alone, pleading that he was afraid. She read newspaper com- ics to him until, at last, he fell asleep.
 Jimmy was gay, blond baby called by his parents and playmates, "Skeegie."
 Cash owns filling stations in Miami Princeton, and Homestead. He is 8 native Floridan, typifies the rural business man, and, despite the prosperity of his business enterprises lives simply in five room apart ment in the six apartment frame building which he owns.
 Because of the horrible fate of the last child Kidnapping victim, Peter Levine, great interest was centered on the Cashes' tragedy and as word of the crime spread the curious drove down from Miami to try for glimpses of the parents and to inspect the scene.
 Peter was kidnapped from the home of his parents in New Rochelle in February. He was the first child kidnap victim since Dec. 1886 when Charles Mattson was kidnapped from his parents home in Tacoma Wash. and murdered by the abductor who has never been found.
 On May 24 1884 George Weyer- haeuser was stolen from his parents home also in Tacoma. He was ran- somed as had been June Robles who had been stolen in New Mexico month earlier. Peggy McMath was stolen in May, 1883. and ransomed. Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was kid- naped and murdered in March, 1892.

but the second time, the kidnapers stopped him.
 Cash set out on his first trip at midnight q a. m., EDT). He re- turned an hour and half later and at 9 a. m. 6 a. m., EDT). While he sat in his living room discussing his next move with men presumed to be department of justice agents, rock came crashing through the window. There was the sound of a body crashing through the underbrush outside the hurler escaping. The rock directed attention to note that had been left on his back porch. It told him to set out again at 4 a. m. 6 a. m., EDT).
 Department of justice agents were active in the case but were keeping in the background to give the father every opportunity to pay the ran- some and get his child. It was re- ported here and in New York City that J. Edgar Hoover head Of the bureau, would come here today by plane. A chartered plane arrived at Miami from the north yesterday with load of G-men.
 Princeton is on the highway to the Florida Keys, 20 miles south of Miami. The Keys would offer an ideal hide-out for a kidnap gang holding a victim.
 Cash's main establishment is here a combination general store and gasoline filling station. Saturday night, Mrs. Cash put her baby to bed in the adjoining apartment house and went downstairs to help her husband count the days re- ceipts. She was gone but short time but while she was gone, 1t was said, man or men crawled into the window of the baby's room and car- ried him off.
 Neighbors in the apartment above the Clashes heard persons moving about in the child's bedroom, but thought nothing of it.
 When the Clashes returned, they found the child gone. A hole had been cut ill a locked screen door so that hand could be inserted to raise the hook. They were about to call police when Cash's brother, w. E. Cash, telephoned. He had found note, printed crudely in pencil, di- recting him to go, if he wished in- formation concerning his nephew, to an address in the Princeton negro section.
 The Cash brothers and Mrs. Cash went to the address which was that of an empty shack. On the doorstep they found another note. Printed in the same way on the same kind of paper, 1t informed the parents

 It was reported that the 5000 reward Levine offered for finding the boys body would be paid to Hell mar Storm, boatman at the estate of Mrs. Lewis Iselin, who saw the body drifting shoreward while watching the sea Sunday evening, and who called police after he had dragged it from the water.

Newspaper Ads Are Urged

NEW YORK, May 16.-Clinton Davidson, vice president of Fiduc- iary Counsel, Inc, told a luncheon of life insurance supervisors of New York City that big insurance com panies could make more money by placing institutional advertising in newspapers rather than magazines. He said:
 By advertising in newspapers. the life insurance companies can fit their copy to the specific locality and to the pocketbooks of the pros- poets living in those communities.
 We believe that the life insurance companies have already convinced the American people Gin magazine advertisments) that life insurance is a good thing to own. They need to be told in their daily newspapers just how much life insurance will produce various amounts of income for life. Start doing a selling job now on your directorates, they have plowed the fields long enough with magazine copy-it's time to plant the seed in newspapers"
