There seems today to be some thing more than rumor In the report that Stagg i« already lodged in a nearby city biding his time, waiting for word to come on here, to give himeelf up to the police, to shoul- der the blame for the kidnaping and shield Miss Brainerd by throw- ing himself upon the mercy of the court and asking that he alone pay the penalty—a prison term of 10 years, if the judge sees fit to give him the minimum. MISS BRAINERD'S FRIENDS SAY SHE WON'T BE TRIED Tho Mixes Brainerd’s lawyers pro fous that they have no knowledge of Stagg, his whereabouts or his in- tentions, her many friends give it out as positive information that she will never be tried. The prosecutor is said to haye agreed to dismiss her case if Stagg gives up.
