Investigation of the reported abduction for ransom of James Sheridan, wealthy retired Des Moines business man, marked time today in a path of rumors and left police with as little clue to his whereabouts as on the day he dis- appeared. One unverified report was that the go-between for Sherida abductors was delaying payment of ransom and release of Sheridan while built up an alibi to prove himself innocent “good samaritan” in the negotiations. Handwriting Identified. Shortly after Sheridan walked out of a cigar store with a stranger last Sep- tember 1, his wife received a note de- manding $50,000 in ransom. She reported today to have identified the handwriting in the note as that of her husband. Later, police learned, the go-between approached friends of the kidnaped man with a story that while he did not know the abductors, he was to meet them along & road leading to lllinois and hand over the money for Sheridan’ lease. The friends seized the emissary, police were told, and held him to force :rlxs ouoladumn to reduce the ransom to “Promises fill no sack’’== it is TASTE and not word: Yyou enjoy in a smoke that Mrs. Sheridan paid this both Sheridan and ths A amount and that For You ‘GOING 10 —expressing gree of smartness and athe letic vigor. varsity men. ens in bold TOPC BETZ, Mgr. —West Side— Bet.
