Pretty Nurse
Held for
EXtOrtiOn

NEW YORK, Sept. II -(R-
A pretty 23-year-old nurse who
lost her nerve was held in Gus
tody today by FIJI men who
charged her with attempting to
kidnap the four-year-old daugh-
ter of her wealthy employer and
hold her for $4,000 ransom.
p. E. Foxworth, assistant FBI
director. said that the nurse,
Mrs. Kathryn Batchelder, a ma
tive of Fairlee, VT. took Nancy
Joyce, daughter of a broker liv-
ing in suburban Pelham. from
the Joyce home, early Tuesday
and caught a train for Mount
Vernon, where she had rented
q room.
On the way, the FIJI said, the
nurse sent a special delivery
letter to the child's maternal
grandmother. Mrs. Emily Flip
pen, of Dallas, Tex, who was
visiting the Joyce home. The
FBI said the letter read in part
as follows:
Nancy and have been kid
naped. They say she will be safe
if you do as they say. You are
to get $4,000 in five, ten and
twenty dollar bills only. Put the
$4,000 in a shoe box and tell
Mrs. Joyce to come along with
the money to the New Rochelle
station tonight at 1890 p. m.
The letter was signed "Kath-
ryn," Foxworth said, and was In
the handwriting of the nurse
maid.
The FBI was notified, but at
$50 o'clock that night, Fox
worth said the nurse telephon-
ed the Joyce home announcing
she and the child had been re-
leased by the kidnapers and
were safe at the home OF
friends. A short time later the
child reached home safely and
FBI men took Mrs. Batchelder
into custody.
She confessed the FBI said,
that she alone was responsible
for the extortion attempt.
