$50,000 Ransom Payment Spurs Kidnap liunt -

l

(AI. my Guardian's Special Wire)

CHICAGO, Oct. iii-A imminent wide hunt was pressed tonight for kidnappers who collected $50,000 ransom but failed to release aged Charles S. Ross.

Spurred by the knowledge the family had been double-crossed, United States Federal agents and State's Attorney's detectives hurled their full force into the search for the snatch gang.

A trap similar to that set in the Lindbergh case was baited across the country. The government sent a compete list of the serial num- bers of 5,250 bills given the abduc- tors to Department of Justice Bur- eaus. police stat ons, newspapers, banks and business houses from coast to coast in the hope the moh- sters would be caught when they sought to cash in on their crime.

Some investigators held the be- lief the Ross case would prove a parallel to the Lindbergh tragedy with the ransom collected after the victim had died.

Chief of detectives John Sullivan inclined to that theory. He pointed out. the retired manufacturer had

(By The Canadian Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. lit-Amid confusion and bewilderment rem- iniscent of the wild days of 1929. stock markcts on both sides of the Atlantic crumpled today in a sell- ing storm, tiien came back strong- ly at the finish. Setting a dizzying pace, prices of leading issues fell $10 and more on Wall Street under a downpour of sales at the opening However, a sense of equilibrium

hour there was a general rally in which many stocks wiped out all initial losses and some finished higher for the day.

The Canadian markets followed New York's lead. The London 1nd Paris markets, winding up business earlier because pf the time difference, ended trading on a low note.

Rebound Sets In

After the selling storm blew it- self out the Toronto market wit- nessed a rebound that erased “i5 per cent of the early losses. Net losses for the day, as mirrored by market indiccs. were 2.32 for in- dustrials, 1.17 for golds and 5.26 for miscellaneous mines.

It. was the same at Montreal. with cautious buying at the fin- ish bringing a better ‘tone. In the morning 26 issues plummeted to new lows for the year or longer.

The price-wrecking wave swept commodities, bonds and other 1n- vestmcnis down the hill but here again late strength was fairly general.

It was the heaviest selling storm experienced in Wall Street since the Roosevelt Government began “policing" United States exchang- es in 1034. 'I‘hc_flnishing rally found traders exhausted.

Chrysler, selling down almost $10 in the first hour, closed at $61, only $1.25 ofi from yesterday. Un- itcd States Steel, off $7 at one time, closed 62 cents above Mon- day at $6.12.
