Late Friday, two masked men, who apparently agreed to help in the "plot" entered the home, threw a blanket over tive child and carried her to their waiting car, police said. According to lhe plan, thc mother was to follow thc "kidnap car" and pick up the girl when the two men put the child out. But the mother was stopped at a rail crossing and lost sight of the "kidnap car." Meanwhile. Decatur police received a telephone call ex¬ plaining what was being planned. Police Lt.
