The mutilated body of Marian who wag kidnapped last Thursday noon, was tossed out of an autc mobile Saturday night, at the fect of her father, Perry M. Parker, who had gone to the appointeld streot corner in the Northwest section of the city, carrying $1,500 ransom money demanded by the abductors, Parker received a telephone call| at 7:35 o'clock Saturday night in- structing him to proceed to the corner of Fifth Street and Man- LOTE L H T ERALE RS certificates and his daughter would be returned to him there. Goes to Ransom Corner The father, distracted and near ing collapse, proceeded to the street corner with the money, ar- riving there shortly after o’clock. A few minutes after Parker a rived at the ramsom corner, & small roadster drew up alongsidy the Parker automobile and the banker saw his daughter in thi seat beside the driver. Parker was told by the kidnapper that the little girl was asleep. Ransom Money Paid “Here's . your , child. Give me the money and follow instruc- tions. She is asleep,” the kidnan- per said. . Parker handed the Kkidnapper the $1,500 in $20 gold ceftificates The kidnapper, after taking the money, drove ahead of Parker a little way, and climbing out of the car he threw the body of the girl on the grass in front of a house a few doors up the street. As soon as the man had driver away, Parke} ran frantically te his daughter’s side and claspel her in his arms and found she was dead. Mutilated Body The first examination of the mutilated body revealed that both of the girl's legs had been cut off, | S apparently close to the body. A ‘wire had“been twisted so tightly|S around the girl’s throat that the flesih had been cut deeply. = The wire ran into a gaping wound around the back of th head to the face where it had been thrust through the eyelids.
