WOMAN KIDNAPPED
OUTRAGE IN KENTUCKY
HEAVY RANSOM DEMANDED
NEW YORK, October 10,
A message from Louisville, Kentucky, states that Mrs. Berry V. Stoll, aged 26, wife of the vice-president of tho Stoll Eoflning Company of Louisville, was beaten and kidnapped from her home today by an unknown man. A ransom note found in tho Stoll home indicated that Mr. AVilliam Stoll, president of the Louisville Board of Trade, and brother-in-law of tho kidnapped woman, was next on the list of the kidnappers. The husband discovered the kidnapping when, he returned, home from his office and found a maid bound hand and foot. The maid said that the abductor got in on tho pretext of using the telephone. She said: "I never saw a more fiendish-looking man." He drew a pistol and forced the maid to help him bind Mrs. Stoll's hands with tape. He was unusually rough, the maid said, as was evidenced by traces of blood on the floor.
The ransom note asked for 50,000 dollars. Mr. Stoll published a statement addressed to the kidnapper stating that'arrangements for tho ransom are being made. Mrs. I'owler Willett, tho twenty-four-year-old maid, said that the kidnapper beat Mrs. Stoll and she was blooding as she was dragged out of the house.
