MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKD. OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1934 PAGE THREE E Society and Clubs Edited by Irva Fewell Edwards FAY PASSES CITIZENSHIP TEST (Conttnuea from page one.) Mid Mr. and Mrs. Clegg were ar rested, flrutally Treated Mrs. Btoll was put to bed aa aoon aa she arrived at her home last night. She was brutally treated at times during her Imprisonment, but was said by a physician to be in fairly good condlton. The physician would not allow anyone to question her, with the result that details or her captivity are not known. Federal men questioned Mrs. Rob inson at a secret hiding place here to learn her knowledge of the kid naping. Whether any charges will be lodged against her has not been de ter mined. Harold Nathan, in charge of the department of Justice men In this area, said that Robinson, a college man, had formerly been employed by the Stoll OH Refining company 01 which Berry Stoll ts president. The return of .Mrs. Stoll was broueht about through a chain of events starting with the delivery ot j the $50,000 package last Friday j morning. i Father Got Money ; In compliance with the ransom note left by the kidnaper the money was sent by express to Thomas H. Robinson, Sr., father of the accused kidnaper. The father was named as intermediary in the first ransom note. The money was delivered to Rob inson's Nashville home by a federal agent posing as an express company employe. The father took the pack age to his daughter-in-law Monday afternoon, following instructions re ceived In another note in which Mrs. Robinson, Jr.. was named as second Intermediary. Mrs. Robinson Jr., took a train for Terre Haute, Ind. During these transactions both Mrs. Robinson and her father-in-law were under obser vation by government men. Even the number of her train reservation was known. Trnll Often Rroken There are several gaps In the story of bow the trail was followed. It would appear from the sketchy de tails made known by the federal men that the trial was lost and picked up again on at least two oc casions. In Terre Haute, government agents hoped to be led to the place where Mrs. Stoll was being held. An agent, acting as a taxlcab operator, saw to It that his cab was available and convenient, should Mrs. Robinson need such a vehicle. She did not use It, however. Apparently the trail was lost there, but It reappeared yesterday in In dianapolis. At 3:30 .yesterday afternoon two women appeared at the residence oi Rev. Arnold Clegg (no relation to federal agent H. H. Clegg who car ried out the Nashville investigation). "I am Alice Stoll." said one of the women to Mrs. Clegg a cousin ot Berry Stoll "and this is my friend." Telephoned Home Mrs. Stoll asked permission to call Louisville. She was in communica tion with her home and asked that the way be cleared so she could re turn "sometime tonight." Mr. Clegg, who was calling on the head of the women's state prison at Indianapolis when hs wife received the visitors, was summoned, upon re quest he agreed to take the two wo men to Louisville In his car. Meanwhile the telephone call to the Stoll home here had been traced to Indianapolis (wires to the house have been frequently reported to have been tapped) so when the four started, a carload of operatives was nearby and they trailed along be hind. Slmultan xnisly another detach ment moved out from Louisville to intercept the Clegg machine. Auto Is Stopped At Scottsburg. Ind., the federal car from Indianapolis overhauled the Clegg machine. Melvin H. Purvis, who led the Dllllnger chase for the de partment of Justice, took charge. He took the Cleggs to the home of relatives in Jeffersonvtlle, Ind., and brought Mrs. Stoll back home Mrs. Robinson was taken to a local hiding place. Later Inst night Nathan called news offices and gave the number ana description of the automobile in which Robinson Is believed to have fled. It bore Illinois number plates and a Chicago motor vehicle tag. The elder Robinson is generally regarded here as being Innocent ot complicity in the crime. He ts re ported to have talked with his son who phoned from Indianapolis, and to have urged that he drop the en tire idea. A madman's laugh was the only reply. The father Is being ques tioned in Nashville. Mrs. Looker Ueds Chas. Spindler Mrs. Llnna Looker of this city was married to Charles L.
