Frederick daily newspaper brief dated March 10 1965 featuring local events, society notes, and community notices from The News of Frederick Maryland.
Nicole Prevost, a young French woman, was jailed in Poitiers on charges of kidnapping three children last September and attempting to ransom the city. A ransom demand of 200000 dollars prompted the city to refuse, and the children were released unharmed. Two men are detained as suspected accomplices. Police traced the crime after Prevost and a male companion ran up large bills in Romorantin without paying. The kidnapped children Joe Bret, 5, and Patrick and Christine Guillon, 5 and 6, disappeared Sept. 21 as they returned from school near Marnay. A ransom note claimed to kill the children if payment was not made. authorities said shopkeepers were asked to fund the ransom. The children were found near a road outside Bordeaux after traveling in a blue car with a man and a woman called Aunt Nicole.
Goodwill Industries at South Bentz Street opened a chapel in the Taney Room with a service led by Rev James T. Stanford. The program will expand from one weekly service toward five, reflecting the organization's historic ties to religion and non denominational worship.
A man identified a photo of the arrested woman as Aunt Nicole but his sister Christine could not recognize the woman. A little girl remains bedridden with pneumonia. Police expect confrontation of three suspects with three children likely Monday. Rope spinning is traced to Mexico via Vincenti Crespo of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show who introduced the practice in the late 1880s and it spread to American cowboys.
