Indianapolis.' the $200,000 ransom letter which was received by the wealthy Weyerhaeusers Friday night sev- eral hours after the boy was kid- naped from near the Lowell public school which he attended. It was the third message inserted in the newspaper. The first plea to the kidnapers not to harm the curly-haired little victim was made by the parents in Sunday morning editions of the newspaper. The Monday editions of the newspaper repeated the \ad.\ \We are ready,** was interpreted to mean that Mr. and Mrs. Weyer- haeuser had assembled the $200,0*0 demanded and had contacted the kidnapers for the return of their son. F. Rodney Titcomb. uncle of the missing boy and general manager of A. Weyerhaeuser Company, was believed to have made final plans with the kidnaped boy's father late yesterday for payment of the ran- som demand. Titcomb, it was believed, would act as intermediary.
