Holland Keet, a banker of Springfield, Mo., culminated in the baby's death. It involved another alleged kidnapping conspiracy, said to have been part of a German plot and the attempted lynching ,of one of the socalled con spirators in an effort to force him to confess that he was implicated in the ! Keet baby s disappearance and I death. j "Wthile the child's parents were at- ! I tending a ball at the SpritagfktM country club on the night of May '60, ! ! 1917, the baby -was stolen from his ' crib in the family home. Ten days . later the body was found, wrapped j in an old black underskirt, at the i bottom of a well at the Crenshaw MVIVU T. m.V,U JLTVU 1. 1 H.l IQfcf ed for many years. Meanwhile, friends, detectives, and the baby's father had scoured the Ozark hills and had even visited previously the old farm house in their search for the missing boy. No threats had been made to the Keet family, previous to the abdi cation, but on the following morning, Mr. Keet received a note threatening mutilation to the infant if a ran som of $6,000 was not paid the fol lowing night. (Mr. Keet endeavored to comply but failed to meet the kidnappers received orders from a German agent in St. Louis and to have promised Piersol he might be called upon to kidnap persons in Canada and Mex ico as well as in the United States All efforts to shake the statements of the persons arrested were unsuc cessful. They maintained they had nothing to do with the Keet ease. One June 9, however, a party of citizens made a seeond and more thorough search of the Crenshaw i rm and found the body. A cor oners' inquest decided that the child had died from exposure and lack of proper nourishment. The excitement in Springfield be came so great that a mob stormed the county jail demanding that the prisoners who were being held there, be turned over to them that they might avenge the baby's death. Sheriff Webb attempted to spirit his prisoners away in an automobile. The mob pursued and finally caught them at Stockton, Mb.. 28 miles north of Springfield where they took Piersol front the sheriff and weat through all the movements of a lynching party, even to stringing the prisoner from a tree limb. Piersol held to his original story, and de nied that h ewas responsible for the Keet infant's death. The mob sur rendered him to the sheriff and the prisoners were lodged in the Stock- Various rewards were ton jail, 10 HUES Dimes Saved MAKE $1.00 ! -:- Dollars Made f I I oirerea, out tnese were iollowed up by a letter to the father that the ransom fee would be increased from $6,000 to $10,000. Six days after the disappearance of the boy, Taylor Adams, his wife, Allie Adams, and his two sons, Max ie and Cletus, respectively 18 and 20 years old and Claude Piersol were ar rested. All vehemently denied any connection with the Keet case but al leged statements of the prisoners told of a plan to abduct C. A. Clem ents a Springfield jeweler, and a ba by other than the Keet's child. The German plot angle entered the ease, according to the alleged state ment by Piersol, that a man had em ployed him to assist in kidnapping Clements. The man was said to have Federal agents of the department of justice followed up the pro-German angle of the case and arrested Dick Carter of Springfield, who is being held on a charge of being im plicated in the Clements plot. Taylor Adams, Claude Piersol and Cletus Adams are charged with ab duction. Charges of murder against them were dismissed. Allie Adams and Maxie Adams are charg ed with implication in the Clements conpiracy.
