The jury is composed of 12 farmers from Webster County-Mrs. Keet this morning testified its to the events of the night of the kidnaping.

She told of putting Bud-ey, as she called Lloyd, to bed at 6:30 and kissing him good night at 8:30 when she and her husband started to the Country Club dance. She returned at midnight and went at or.ce to the baby's bed and found it empty. She called the two maids and they searched the house. She broke down and wept -when she was fhown the clothing the baby wore r.t the time and -w hich was on the body hen it recovered. testified as to the disappearance of the baby and identified four communications he received from trie kidnapers demanding $6000 ransom.

These were admitted in evidence by Judge Sk inker over the objections of the defense. Keet also told of two night rides alone in his automobile carrying the $0000 in an effort to the terms of the kidnapers. The two maids were witnesses and E. L. Conklin testified as to the finding of the baby's body June 9 in an old c'stern on the Crenshaw farm.

None of these witnesses was cross-examined by the defense. O'Day declared Piersol mined to Samuel Allender had ad- Chief Of i Detectives at St. Louis, and to O'Day That the elaborate story he had told when first arrested of being an agent of the German Government was pur invention. O'Day, after reviewing the history cf the disappearance and subsequent finding of the infant's body in a cistern on a deserted farm near Springfield, asserted that Piersol for two or three, years had been "giving serious thought to all the particulars which must be considered in bringing to a successful consummation a crime of kidnaping." and that he "drew to his side from his various associates and friends those who were willing to assist in his unlawful enterprises." Frequently Seen in Neighborhood. Tlje prosecutor stated that witnesses would show that a short time before the kidnaping of the Keet baby, Piersol and his alleged band had frequently been seen in the neiglTborhood of the Keet residence: that all of them were armed and carried masks and frequently stationed an automobile at a convenient point nearby.

O'Day declared the testimony would indicate that Taylor B. Adams, who also is charged with the Keet kidnaping, had approached persona In Greene and Christian counties offering them sums of money to en-page in kidnaping projects. These persons would be used as witnesses, the State's Attorney declared. The testimony would indicate, O'Day continued, that about the ISth 19th of March Piersol and his companions -were stationed in automobiles across the street from the Keet home and that on being asked what their purpose was that Piersol replied. "We are going to get the Keet baby." The Prosecutor then declared that on the day the baby was stolen Piersol and Cletus Adams went to the Keet home to deliver a Dackage addressed to W.
