KIDNAPERS CARRIED
KEET BABY OFF IN AUTO
MARSHFIELD. Mo., Oct. 24.—P.
N. O'Day, prosecutor at the trial of
Claude J. Plersol charged with kid
naping Baby Lloyd Keet of Spring
Held, in his opening statement here
| today, declared that Piersol had ad
j mitted to Charles Mlender, chief of
[ detectives at St. Louis and to Mr.
| O’Day that the elaborate story lie had
told when first arrested of being an
' agent of the German government was
pure invention.
The prosecutor stated that witnes
! sea would show that a short time be
i fore the kidnaping of the Keet baby
l’iersol and his alleged band frequent
ly had been in the neighborhood of(
I the Keet residence; that all of them
were armed and carried masks and
; frequently stationed an automobile
at a convenient point near by.
Mr. O'Day declared the testimony
( would indicate that Taylor R. Adams,
i who is also charged with the Keet
kidnaping, had approached persons in
Greene and Christian counties, offer
ing them sums of money to engage
in kidnaping projects. These persons
would be used as witnesses, the state's
attorney declared.
The testimony would indicate, Mr.
O’Day continued, that about the 18th
or 19th of March, Piersol and his com
panons were stationed in automobiles
across the street from the Keet home
and that on being asked what their
purpose was that Piersol replied;
"By G-we are going to get the
Keet baby!”
The prosecutor then declared that
on the day the baby was stolen, Pier
1 sol and Celtus Adams went to the
Keet home to deliver a package ad
dressed to W. R. Wolfe, “well know
ing that this was the Keet home, in
asmuch as Cletus had delivered a
package to the same place the day
before.”
J. Holland Kelt, the victim’s fa
ther, will be the prosecution’s first
witness, it was indicated. The body
of the bahy was found in a well on
a deserted homestead near Spring
field, a few days after it was kidnap
ed from it’s parents home there the
night of May 30 last.
Mrs. Keet and two nurses who were
asleep in the room from which little
Lloyd was abducted will follow Mr.
Keet on the witness stand.
Below zero weather is reported at
Salcha, Richardson, McCarty, Don
nelly, McCallum. All the rest range
from 1 above to 18 above at Wort
man.
Harold Johnson left this morning
for Wilson’s camp at Fidalgo.
