Mury, 3, and, Patty, 18 months. The four.! along with Di.-inr, 7. were i marched to the family car. ! They were driven around j Minneapolis for abrtut one-i half hour. Thru they were taken to a nnrlh Minneapolis garage where they were held for over three hours. "They blindfolded me about j a block and half from the 1 house," Mrs. Theisrn said, j "and seemed to be driving j around the block. I tried to listen for names hut couldn't ; hear anything. 1 "The car stopped every once in awhile and one of the boys ; appeared to gel nut and get ! in again later. I kept asking if all the children were still in the car." Herded Into Loft The four children and their mother were herded into the dark garage loft and held at gunpoint by the younger of the brothers. The older drove off in the Theisen car and didn't return. "Tile children were real good." Mis. Theiscn said proudly, "until it go so un bearably hot and they began itching from the sweat run ning into their chickcnpox. The boy holding us was very nice. After awhile he let the three younger ones go below with him and cool off." finally the youth told the Theisens he was "tired of waiting.'' He told Mrs. Thei scn he would let her and the children go if she would prom ise not to tell the "fuzz" the address of the garage. Sick lo Stomach "I was getting sick to my stomach and the kids were too," Mrs. ThcLsen said. "I had to walk away with my eyes closed but I told the 7-year-old to look for street signs." Little Diane led police back lo the garage, once the five were free. "She recognized the place because she walked right past there when she was uoing to school," Mrs. Theisen explained. The Yant brothers were ar rested Wednesday on descrip tions nrovided bv Mrs. Thei scn and were identified by I her in a lineup. They signed statements admitting the ab duction. Detective Inspector Calvin llawkinson said a third youth, Mclvin Robeck, 20, was impli cated by the brothers but did not make an appearance at the Theisen home nor at the Theisen grocery store. Hawk inson said Robeck apparently "masterminded" the abduc tion plot, expecting a $30,000 ransom. He was still being sought by police. Robeck worked a few doors away from Theisen's grocery store, where Theisen was at! work, unaware of his family's predicament. Texas Police Will Investigate Slaying Theory Austin, Tex.

A ranger investigation will continue. Col. Homer Garrison, chief of the rangers and head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Marshall, official ly ruled a suicide, could not have killed himself. Garrison pointed to five wounds inflict ed by a bolt-action rifle, car bon monoxide in the body, cuts on the head and hands, brain injury and signs of a struggle. Word Sent to FBI Garrison informed a district judge and also sent word of his decision to the FBI and the chairman of the Senate investigating s u b c o mmittee looking into the Estes' case. The rangers are working on the theory of murder, Garri son said. A justice of the peace ruled suicide in the case when the body of Marshall was dis covered on his farm June 3, 1961. A special grand jury in Franklin, Tex., last May heard testimony from a pathologist who judged from the ex humed body that Marshall probably was murdered. The body bore five wounds from a single-shot, bolt-action 22 calibcr rifle found near it. Monoxide Found A heavy concentration of carbon monoxide was found in the body and there was evidence of a blow over one eye that was powerful enough to stun a man. The special grand jury an nounced after a five-week in vestigation that it could not decide whether it was murder or suicide. Rangers found cartridge casings at the spot where the body was found, but no bul lets were found. Last week in Washington, Chairman John McClellan ID Ark.) of a Senate investiga tion subcommittee said he thought Marshall was murder ed. McClellan held a rifle as Marshall would have to have held it and decided a man could not shoot himself live times with it, Marshall was chief enforce ment officer in Texas for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service. He had reported his suspicion that Estes had engaged in illegal cotton acreage allotment manipulating. New York UPIi The stock market was narrowly mixed this morning. Auto shares were unchang ed to a large fraction higher in Chrysler which was said to have improved its earnings in the second quarter. Steels were soft, chemicals and lead ing oils were little changed. Despite lower earnings for two leading tobacco compa nies the group showed little change. Some of the volatile growth issues strengthened with Polaroid, Litton and B-ckman up around 1 eacn and Xerox and IBM ahead 3. Reg. $24.95 House Approves Compromise on Relief Programs Washington -OTP -The House today stamped its final ap proval on compromise legisla tion embodying most of Pres ident Kennedy's proposals for , reforming the nation's nmlti-J million dollar relief programs. j The hill went lo the Sen ale, where it was expected to win speedy approval and be sent lo the White House. It is a compromise between differing bills originally ap proved by both houses. A joint conference committee worked out the differences Wednesday night. The bill would expand fed eral help for the needy. At the same lime it would put in creased emphasis on rehabil itation measures designed to help move some of them off the relief roles. The immediate effect will be to increase the federal cost of the welfare program. The federal share would climb to $300 million during the fiscal year which began July 1. This would be an increase of more than Slot) million over Ken nedy's welfare budget. The welfare program now is cost ing the federal and state gov ernment about $4 billion a year.
