Route Of Abduction
Shown By Kidnaper
Harwiohport, May 7.?Somewhat
sullenly, Kenneth Buch, 27, allegedly
the confessed kidnaper of
Betrary MicMath, today re-enacted for
state detectives the details of the 10year-old
girl's abduction.
1 He led them over the route taken
when the pretty, dark-haired child,
daughter of Mr. ?tn<t Mrs. Neil C.
McMath, members of a prominent
Detroit family, was stolen from her
parents and held for a ransom of
$7CMH>0, all of which was recovered
yesterday.
In the brilliant sunshine of a glorious
day in Cape Cod he pointed out
the dismal spot where the ehtld had!
been hidden. Newspapermen and,
euriou-t i:ntives aeeompanied Bin h j
and the detectives.
State 'detectives late today questioned
another man. acting on .information
that lie had first been approached
to he the contact man be-1
l ween the kidnaper and the McMath'
family, but released him with the announcement
that li,e was completely
absolved.
Buck was taken this morning from
the Barnstable county jail where he
and his brother, Cyril, 41, were confined
last night. Tomorrow they will
go to Provincetown where, in the district
<;ourl, Kenneth will be arraigned
on a charge of kidnaping aruP Cyril
on a charge of extortion. The charge
against Cyril, it was learned tonight,
may be modified to one of being accessor^
after the fact.
Cyril acted as contact man between
the McMaths and the kidnaper but:
returned to Mi Math th?^i?lih'hHl which!
the kidnaper had gn?-n him as hisj
-haic. 1 ?.-t rict Attorney William C.

M il' a> her father. For a d;-gu;-e, j
the kidnaper had blackened hi- face
with burnt cork ami wore white
gloves. It was here that he took her
into the automobile and vanished.
From the school Buck was taken
to the Ifarwichport golf course, near
which, in a wooden shack, Peggy had
been concealed. The shack, about six
feet wide, eighteen feet long and ten
feet high, is near a cranberry bog.
There are two front doors and two
dirty windows are in the rear. Scrub
pines and an abandoned orchard are
behind it.
I: was in the cranberry bog that
the kidnaper had taken Peggy from
the car. bound her and placed handcuff
ot. her, after -he had been blindfidded.
The hamicutl'-. Bin k .-aid,
had been thrown .auay in the bog
ami were not found immediately but
a black cloth^jind some rope were
found. Buck explained that an old
trousers in tin* shack had been used
by Peggy as a pillow* Bits of burlap
were under the eaves to keep out
draughts. Peggy was not gagged because
she had promised to give no
outcry on the understanding that her
abductor was actually her friend, protecting
her from a kidnap gang. She
believed this firmly, detectives said.
Not 100 feet from the house was
the are>a where a grass fire had
threatened to destroy the building
while Peggy was confined there. The
police confession states that Buck
had been terrified by fear that firemen
would discover the child, causing
him to destroy a ransom note he
had written. But Peggy kept silence,
even while smoke from the fire seeped
into the shack.
After the fire, the kidnaper having
watched '.ho shack from the eighth
hole of the golf course, he returned
at right t-? the -hack and carried
Pegg\ across a little creek bridged by
a tree trunk, re-enacting the part.

father, hi* eye* on the ground, did
not see him. Ferrari led him away
to a white Gape Cod cottage, diagonally
across the street from the Buck
home. ' Seventy-five years old and
once a a how place, it is now vacant.
Buck lifted a trap door in the kitchen.
It revealed a shelf of earth, there being
no cellar under the house, where
Peggy, blindfolded and handcuffed,
had been laid until she was released
to her father. A cistern eight feet
deep and dry was a yard or two from
the shelf. Had she moved, the detectives
pointed out, the child might
luivo fallen into it and been injured.
The reconstruction ended there and
Buck was returned to the juil atj
Barnstable where his brother had retrained.

extortion.
The federal treasury authorities
have approved a plan for the reopen-'
ing of the big South (arolina National
bank, at (^olun*bia, proposed by its
owners, which needed only the approval
of depositors to go into effect.
The plan is to pay 10 per cent of unsecured
deposits at once and to secure
the other t>0 per cent by pledging all
the common stock of the bank, and
afl assets for their payment. Secured
deposits to Ik* paid at once, and
preferred stock to be issued and
bought by the R. F. C. The depositors,
become etoukholders, tk> Appoint
? committee to pool and vote their
stock for bank executives to operate
the institution until they are repaid
ull their deposits.
Oolonel J. E, HSarley, former member
of the house of the general assembly
and widely kivown Barnwell
attorney, announce* he will be a candidate
for lieutenant governor in the
democratic primary next year. He
Haiti that economy and tax reduction
within the revenue will be his fight.
Homes and fa rim must have relief.
He is the only candidate' for lieutenant
governor so far, except Kepre
tentative W. R. Bradford,
county, and he was defeated Wit sjS
in a cloao race with the preset
tenant governor. , /'B
