In the first discussion of the case,
by the agents hew since Robinson’s
return, Connellcy said late today:
“Robinson willingly admitted hav
ing kidnaped Mrs. Stoll and said he
had considercHl several plans, in
cluding the one he finally followed.
He admitted slugging Mrs, Stoll with
an iron pipe (when he kidnaped
her from her home) and taking her
m a rented car to an Indianapolis
apartment where he kept. her some
five days.
“RobineOn forced her to go with
him by threats of what he would
do to Berry Stoll (her husband)^ ^^y-
said that since the kidnaping hef^
spent most of his time traveling
back and forth between New /York
and Chicago, spending the ythnnom
money lavishly to cover up/his trail.
“He spent a great d«X money
in hotels and night embe. On one
occasion he traveM’^in an aii^plane
between New Yoric and California.
On other occasions he traveled by
(train or aut^obile.”
When C5>mi€lley answered a ques

he did not know why he kidnapeef.
