Plot to kidnap daughter shocks Kansas governor
Gov Alf Landon disclosed a plot to abduct his 16 year old daughter Peggy Ann to force clemency for Bailey Underhill gang members jailed in Kansas. Eleven men and a woman were named by the governor as participants, with some outside figures possibly involved in a Memorial Day penitentiary break. The case ties to the Bailey Underhill gang and the Urschel kidnapping trial in Oklahoma City. Guards remain posted at the governor’s mansion and over Miss Landon.
