IVvIHV liwim ■ EXTORTION PLOT Two Young Men Will Be Arraigned Monday Morning Indianapolis, May s.—(U.R>—Full confessions of two young Paragon men giving a story-book plot to extort $25,000 from a prominent Indianapolis business man were claimed today by city police. The two, Carlos McNeil. 26, former Indiana university student, once adjudged the most popular member in his class, and James B. Wood, 23, former Central Normal college student, were being held in city jail here. After gaining the confession, federal officers who questioned the pair, announced the two young men would be arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Fae Patrick at 10 a. m. Monday. Although officers steadfastly refused to divulge the name of the intended victim, it was reliably reported Eli Lilly, wealthy drug manufacturer here, received the extortion note. The letter, written on a typewriter at Martinsville, and mailed from that city last week, demanded that $25,000 be dropped from a train between Martinsville and Vincennes. In the confesson the youths allegedly said they had hopes of "making some easy money.”
