The members of the "motor mob stood about undecided for a few min utes longer, then removed the noose from Piersol's neck and turned him back to the sheriff.

The alleged Keet baby kid napcrs have been taken from the sher Iff byhe "motor mob" and are now.f being hld under guard at. Stockton 'Mo., according to telephone reports from that city early today. The reports asserted it was believed that it is not the intention of the mob to lynch the prisoners, but to force a confession from them, if possible, that will lead to the arrest of their ring leader. The names of the alleged kidnapers taken by the mob are Claude Plersol, Taylor' Adams, Allie Adams, Clatus Adams, Sa-xa McQirwls and one-others -Nevertheless, elaborate preparations are be inn made here this morning for the Retributive justice which a mob of more than SO0O persons is determined will 1e meted out to at least two of the nllegedJrtrtaapers and slayers Of BabyvWWyd Keet.

' The crowds, which congregated In small groups early last night, are or derly, but the leaders are going grimly nbout their business. Police are pow erless, the score of extra deputies that were being sworn in early in the evening even going so far as to pro pose the brand of punishment mest appropriate. Mother In Critical Condition Mrs. Keet. the young mother of the dead child. Is in a critical condition this morning. Several physicians are in constant attendance. Fear Is ex pressed that the excitement of the day may add another victim to the tragedy that has already laid its hand on the Keet household. Keet also is completely broken down. Now that the baby is dead, he has ceased to hold any interest in what ia done to the prisoners. If his friends desiro to wreak their vengeance on the kidnapers he is trilling. With a mob of 300 revenge seeking Missourlans surging against the front door of the country Jail, Sheriff Bill Webb spirited the seven suspected ab ductors out of a rear entrance and (Conchi:d n face Ten, Column One) Former Secretary Of War Now Major San Francisco, June 9.

RED BABY Liberty Loan Facts No. XIII WHAT IS BEHIND THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BONDS? They are Uncle Sam's direct promise to pay. His wealth is esti mated at 250 billion dollars, or close to $2500 per capita. His yearly income is estimated at about 40 billion dollars. His yearly savings are over 3 billion dollars, which is about the entire amount of his outstanding debt, including the present issue of Liberty bonds. His banks report total resources of about 35 billion dollars, ex ceeding by far the greatest banking resources ever before shown in any country. His wealth is estimated as more than the combined wealth of Great Britain, France and Germany. His outstanding debt per capita, even after the present 2 billion dollar loan is sold, will be about 30, or less than one tenth that of either Great Britain, France or Germany. Not once has Uncle Sam failed to pay a single dollar of his obli gations. Uncle Sam is the richest man in the world, and enjoys the best credit. He is asking you now to loan him money, to carry on a war to protect his ideals. Don't you think he is a safe man to lend your money to?
