The kidnapping trip is believed to have started at Christman, 111., where Mrs. Ade has relatives and taxi driv•i of Christman is believed to have driven Mrs. Ade and her party across the country to the West Union school house Wednesday to get the girl. Mrs. Ade has another small daugh ter whom she had left at Christman, when she made her recent trip here after l^-ota Sheets, and this other hild was in the automobile with her mother when the kidnapping car drove up in front of the little country - bool house where Leota was attend mg school. This leads the police to •elieve that after leaving Brazil Mon day morning and going to Terre Haute, Mrs. Ade then went to Christ man, hired a taxi car and with her other daughter and two of her relatives made the trip to the Putnam

The car went north on leaving the i-' hool house but from that time all '• ice of the car was lost and the officers have been unable to find any trace of which direction the car I whs driven.
