GIRL'S SMARTNESS
RECOGNISED KIDNAPPERS. BOSTON, May 11. Two brothers, Kenneth and Cyril Buck, garagemen, were recognised easily by Margaret McNatli (10) as the men who kidnapped her a week ago, when they called her from school by a faked telephone message. During her captivity she made intelligent observations of her captors, who had blackened their faces to make themselves appear as negroes. The police not only got the men, who made a confession, but also the 60,000 dollars (£12,000 at par) ransom demanded for the release of the girl.
