Out of meager news that has come
back to Springfield from the rough
hills and sparsely settled districts of
Cedar, Polk and Dade counties, it has
been possible to supply only the bare
outlines of the triumphant fight for
the lives of Mrs. Adams and her five
companions. Apparently It was won j
by Piersol, who authorities say, has
made damaging admission in the at- j
tempts to fix the makeup of the band, j
but refused, despite a rope around his j
neck, to admit that any of the sus- !
pects were concerned with the death
of little Lloyd.
The Keet baby was stolen from the
family home here the night of May 30.
His parents had gone to a dance at the j
country club here and the baby was
left with a nurse and an older son.
The abduction was said to have been
committed about 10 o'clock that night.
Neighbors described later having seen
an automobile drive by the house at
a rapid rate oi speed. It was supposed
to have stopped behind some bushes,
Three men were believed to be the ab-
ductors and it is assumed they took
the baby from his crib, carrying him
about two hundred yards to the car.
The Crenshaw farm is eight miles
southwest of here. The body was
partly decomposed and had been in
