Woman Kidnaper Near Breakdown, Placed in Hospital ALBUQUERQUE, NJU, Nov, 1 3-P)-Described as dangerously near a physical breakdown, Dr. Nancy Campbell was placed in an Albuquerque hospital today. ' Investigators found evidence, meanwhile, that the 43-year-old Yale-trained woman physician has been in serious financial difficulties. Asst. DisL Atty. Robert Fox said "It is apparent she has needed money for some time. Dr. Campbell was released today under $25,000 bond. She is charged with kidnaping a Santa Fe con tractor's nine-year-old daughter. Fox said Dr. Campbell owed considerable money and had been served a dispossession notice for non-payment of rent on her Santa Fe medical office. He also revealed she had been "doling out money to a number of individuals. "She seems to have been very liberal with her mon ey," he commented. The individ uals involved have not yet been questioned. The respected women's specialist ' was seized by 30 federal, state and city officers in Santa Fe Saturday night as she picked up a box con taining $20,000 in ransom money. In her car nearby they found nine-year-old Linda Stamm, who was lured from her home the pre - vious night. She was drugged but otherwise unharmed. She spent Friday night wrapped in blankets in a doorless, windowless, shack in nine-above-zero weather.

Dr. Campbell told FBI agents she needed money, but she was vague on the subject. She had a large practice, much of it for charity. Chief Agent Percy Wyly II of the FBI said agents had found un paid bills in a Las Vegas hotel room in " which she had stayed recently. Examination Made Brain surgeon Leroy Miller of Albuquerque examined Dr. Camp bell today, but gave no details. Her Santa Fe attorney, A. L. Zinn, earlier quoted Miller as saying she suffered from "a lesion on the right temple, pressing and affect ing the left lobe of the temple. Zinn said medical attention planned for her "most certainly doesn't include a sanity test. A Santa Fe physician. Dr. Ber gere AKenney, confirmed today that Dr. Campbell spent three days in the VS. Indian hospital at Santa Fe after she fainted and fell at her home in mid-August He said he found no definite sign of a head injury nor evidence of any brain condition which might have caused her to faint.
