'V ' i SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY (Tncorporatrd) jdnaping Account Given By "Peggy" Woods Hole. Mass., May 6.?Gen. micl t\ Needham, head of the Masshusetts State Police, early today ide public 10-year-old Margaret cMath's own story of her kidnapp. The child told a tale of being held the cellar of a house by a man ho told her she must "never look his face." His hands, she "said, ere white. She was tossed in the back seat of e automobile, s^te hajdr^vhen ^he is carried off. Her hands were >und to her sides and she was blindIded. "I was taken to a shack near a anberry bo>r," 'Margaret told Gen.' eedham. 'They carried me under the shack , " in a space set aside for tools and gave me a mattress to lie on. A man ordered me to keep quiet and he visited me only at night. He always used a flashlight when he came and I could see that his hands were white." Needham said Peggy told him that she went to school as usual on the day of the kidnaping. At""about ten minutes of two, someone knocked on the door. The teacher answered it, came back, and said: "Peggy, you're excused now. You may go home." As she left the class was singing "Rain." Taking her "wraps and lunchbox, she went out and saw a sedan with a negro chauffeur waiting. She had never seen either before. It wasn't far from the ?door to the car, and she didn't notice the number plates. The chauffeur said to her: "I'm going to take you home, because there are friends there that want to J see you." They drove away in an easterly direction. (She noticed a black cloth was hung over the instrument board by court-plaster. Finally they turned into a small road through some woods and stopped near a cranberry bog, 4*ho hud never seen the place before. "While we were riding the man said to me, 'If you make any noise or try to get out, I'll chloroform you,' " Peggy said. "He told me to get in the back. J I saw ropes and handcuffs on the floor. The man tied a black cloth around my face, so as to blindfold me, made me lie in the back seat, facing the back, tied my arms to my body, put (handcuffs on me, ami then made another tie around my hips. "He sorted to stuff cloths in my mouth but I asked him not to do that, and promised not to make any noise. He didn't stuff any more rags in, but got in the front seat, and backed the car up." J Sfhe said they rode a long time? "about an hour"?over rough I'oads. "Then," she said, "we stopped and another man carried me into a little shack. I could hear voices and he told me to lie down on the floor. He gave me his overcoat for a pillow. "Hy putting my knees up T could move my blindfold a little. There was no furniture in the room and the shack looked dilapidated. There was no light in the room but streaks of light came through cracks in the wall. "Late that (Tuesday) night a man came and got me. He took the handcuffs off but left tho blindfold on. lie took me outdoors and we walked about a mile across mud. Once he hold me in his arms while he jumped a ditch. Once a dog barked. "We arrived at another shack and he put me in a tool-storage place under the shack. The storage place had cement walls and the man took the blindfold off. 1 stayed there the rest of Tuesday night, Wednesday and Thursday night. During the day I was left alone but couldn't get cut as the man bad locked the door. "After dark he ^entered with a flashlight and brought me a ham sandwich, some cocoa and some milk. I asked for something else but he said that was all the food he had. "It was then I saw his white hands by the light of the flashlight. "He told me not to make a noise, that a kidnap gang was trying to get me. He said that he would arrange 'to get me back to my mother and father. That was Thursday. "Thursday night he put me in the Tt automobile again. He told me my father was in the back seat. After we had driven for a while he took the blindfold off. "I got in the back seat with my father. Cyril Buck was driving and a man with a hood over his head was sitting in the front seat beside him. I think the hooded man was the one who fed me. His hood had two points on it. He looked like a bunny. "After a long drive we reached a pond (Wychmere Harbor) and we went aboard the 'Bob.' 1 ? "They left daddy aad I aboard and , all we could find to e^.t was soup. "Daddy said we'd have to stay i there 48 hours, that the men had ' made him promise on threats he would stay that long without telling anyone where we wefe. "This afternoon (Friday) a coast guard boat came alongside and daddy said there's no use in hiding any longer. We got off the boat and I was awfully relieved." Gen. Needham, after giving out the j girl's story, said she was a "brick" and added that she answered all questions clearly and "smartly." 20 MINUTES II I versus 7 I 3 HOURS Have your neighbors ever dropped into your home to borrow the weekly collection of circular letters, hand bills, 1 I etc., that the users think are" as good as advertising in your j j I favorite country newspaper? I ! | Few people realize the actual coverage of even the | most modest country newspaper. Not so long ago an ad- J ! | vertising expert was quoted as saying that careful research I I had ascertained that a certain well known metropolitan pa- II j per is read, on an average, for the space of twenty minutes, while the average country newspaper has a "reading life" ' of three hours to its credit! It is kept 'round the house i for a week and everyone in the family takes his turn in going ; I I through its pages. That is something for both subscriber and advertiser to think about.

Be On The Lookout For Pair Of Crooks The couple touring the country, posing as government agents and collecting hams, chickens, produc? and money from negroes did a thorough job in some parts of our county. They told a glib tale of being agents of the government, sent out to make a survey and furnish clothing, shoes and food free for the needy, but would have to make a small charge for services rendered. That is where the raid was made; the couple carried scales to weigh up articles contributed and loaded up the car. The papers over the state have been notified of this brand-new racket and white people everywhere are warning the negroes to beware of "confidential" men who are out to IJeece them. The case at Santuc pUWished yesterday is but a sample of the low down work that is going on. The local Red Cross chapter, Lewis M. Rice, chairman; Sheriff J. G. FauCett, his deputies, the rural police and many citizens are on the lookout for this couple and in many instances the white people are warning the negroes on their plantations to beware. It would be just punishment to put both the man and woman in the pen for a long term at hard labor, and if they are caught, that's where Uncle Sam will land them.?Union Times. Four ring leaders of an illicit alcohol ring of Philadelphia, have been sentenced to serve six months each, though as smugglers of alcohol their operations reached into the millions.
