Claud Piersol Reused of kidnap-
ing little Loyd fleet described the
»y
sensation of betjtg hanged as he ■
paced back and forth in his cell at
the county jail. '‘Piersol and Cletus
Adams were brought to Kansas City
just before nooi^ today by Deputy
Sheriff J. P. Hauls.
Fearing that a fciob might take his j
prisoners away fSbm him should he!
bring them to nttdh end the dep-1

of Independence yesterday. Until!
he arrived hero ®day the where- j
abouts of the mei was a complete |
mystery.
Although he is fjaggard and worn ;
after a night of trieel Piersol stood |
the grilling without weakening. He
still stoutly maintains his innocence
and says he has tsd all he knows.
