Ransom Plot Fails as Boy Is Found Tied to Tree
Belleville Ontario police probe a ransom kidnapping and murder tied to scoutmaster Warren Williamson. Tommy McNevin, 11, was abducted after leaving hockey with friends and found tied to a tree, exposing a failed $25,000 ransom. Williamson, 41, later died by suicide after questioning. The case centers on whether Williamson acted as go-between or sole kidnapper and the motive remains unclear. Donald McNevin, father, laments the tragedy and the family’s financial strain. The incident followed a ransom note demanding tires and money with police warned not to contact authorities.

City Coin Collecting A Continued From Page One
About 15 coin collectors have joined the Middlesboro club including a blind Navy veteran, Bill Robinson, who after his 1946 accident built a coin file and a memory for values. Members swap coins, hear lectures, and plan April displays of complete American coin sets in local banks. Siler, King, and others share rare pieces like the Isabella commemorative quarter and the La Fayette dollar, while talk turns to the 188 S VDB Lincoln cent with Brenner initials and minting controversy. The group notes proofs can rise in value, and collectors pursue interest and history, not just money.
