2469 Kidnaped Girl Brought Back Slain
Body Is Laid on Sidewalk After Banker Father Pays $1500 Ransom to Man Who Flees In Automobile.
Parent, Alone Races to Spot Designated for Child to Be Delivered to Him: Victim is Badly Slashed.
By United Press
Leased Wired to Tribune
Los Angeles, Dec. 17. – The mutilated body of Marion Parker, 12-year-old school girl, who had been held by kidnapers since Thursday, was laid on a sidewalk here tonight as her father looked on after paying $1500 ransom, detectives announced.
Keeping an appointment with one of the kidnapers, who drove up to a designated street corner in an open automobile, the father handed the man $1500, and was told that the girl would be put out of the car half a block down the street.
The father did not know that she was dead.
As he stood watching, the automobile proceeded down the street. When it stopped, as promised, a man stepped out and laid the body on the sidewalk, detectives said. The man then re-entered the car and fled.
Father Find Child Slain.
The father then rushed to the spot, believing he had his little girl save again, but found her dead and her body badly cut. The manner in which she died was not known by the police. They said the identification by the father was positive.
The father, who was alone, is said to have seen part of the license on the roadster. Police asked that a lookout be kept for the light car, which bore a California license.
The father received a telephone message shortly after 7 o’clock, detectives said. He notified headquarters and went alone to the appointed street corner.
Arriving at the designated corner he waited but a few minutes when the kidnapers’ automobile drove up.
The father handed over 75 $20 United States gold certificates and the man in the car warned him to remain where he was while he drove down the street. The certificates bore the numbers K-68016-901 to K-68016-975.
Deat Indicated Before Meeting.
While there was some doubt at police headquarters as to whether the girl had been killed before or after the money was paid, every indication was that the girl was dead before the man met the father.
The body was rushed to the county morgue. Dr. A.F. Wagner, county autopsy sergeon, was performing an autopsy at 10:15 p.m. He estimated it would require an hour to complete his examination of the mangled and slashed body.
Until the completion of this examination coroner’s office attaches refused to disclose whether or not the girl had been attacked or the manner in which she was killed.
Girl Strangled By Wire About Neck
The body of the girl was tossed from the car between Fourth and Fifth streets on Manhattan Place, the appointed meeting place. Police said the father insisted on going to the spot alone. He feared that if officers accompanied him, the kidnapers of his daughter might carry out their threats to harm her.
Manhattan Place is the exclusive Wilshire residential district of Los Angeles.
Death was due to a bit of piano wire tightened about the girl’s neck, according to the early examination by police surgeon. Wire had been twisted so tightly about the girl’s legs that they had literally been cut from her body, the detective bureau added.
“She was mangled beyond words,” one of the detective sergeants commented.

PHYSICIAN'S WIFE IS LAID TO LAST REST

Simple Services Held for Mrs. John L. Kirkpatrick at "Little Church"

Funeral services for Mrs. Frances Chandler Kirkpatrick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Chandler and wife of Dr. John L. Kirkpatrick, were conducted yesterday afternoon at the Little Church of the Flowers in Glendale. Mrs. Kirkpatrick passed away Saturday at her home at 1723 North Kenmore avenue.

The services consisted of scriptural readings and prayer by Dr. Carl S. Patton, pastor of First Congregational Church, to which Mrs. Kirkpatrick belonged. Notable among the selections was the Twenty-Third Psalm with its assurance:

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, the comfort me." And again: "The sufferings of this present time," Dr. Patton read, "are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed to us...Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

The brief service was concluded with a prayer by Dr. Patton in which he gave thanks for "all men and women who by the sweetness and constancy of their souls have left a light to shine for us upon the pathway of our lives."

So many were the floral pieces sent by friends that the funeral church was filled to overflowing with them.
