Girl Abductor
Held Unlikely
Robert Gantner. 53. former Wash
ington county hat vest worker now
nerving a term in Leavenworth pris
on, was recently indicted by a
United States grand jury in Kan-
sas for his abduction of a 13-year-
old Washington county girl, but
prosecution is not to be pressed, it
was reported to the sheriff's office
this week.
I-eading federal authorities on a
long chase which ended in Chicago.
Ill.. Gantner was arrested and sen
tenced for forging and cashing r
WI’A check here. The minor girl,
found in his company, was returned
to relatives in this state.
Prosecution by Washington coun
ty authorities is not likely because
of the cost of extradition and other
legal impediments. Sheriff Connell
stated Friday.
