(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.
