THE KIDNAPPING CASE.
Discharge of the Prisoner on Insuf
 efant EuTdanea

mtRchRFge FT1SOneT
 cfent Evidence.
 "The court room in Danbury was crowded to overfowing Tuesday morning at the trial of the prisoner charged with attempting to kidnap the little Cooper girl, eight years of age, daughter of Benjamin Cooper of that town Public feeling was greatly aroused against the prisoners. After having won the confidence of the child he enticed her away with him some distance from her home, and it was claimed made indecent proposals to her. She became afraid of him and tried to return, but he kept her with him until, when they were passing by house, the lady of the house, Mrs. Lewis, called the child away from the man, thinking something was wrong. Mrs Lewis then informed some of the men neighbors, who put chase after the man. The latter took off his coat and ran, but was caught and taken in custody. Mean while the parents of the child, alarmed at her prolonged absence, had sent out search ing party On being interrogated, the pris- oner was evasive in his answers, and gave his name as Thomas Newry.
 Finding his boarding place to be at Tony Klopp's, on White street, Danbury, the off cers made search of his rooms, finding in his trunk an amount of money, bank bills un- soiled, Confederate bills and bonds; also a bank book, No. 5,518, of the West Side Say ings bank, Sixth avenue, New York. The name on the bank book is that of Frank A. Dougherty. On being asked if this was his real name he assented, saying he could give what name he liked when not under oath. MT. Kopp says he came to his house on Fri day night, giving his name as Dougherty, from New York He is about fifty years old.
 At the trial the little girl was placed on the stand to testify, during which she broke her, and as there was not the least bit of evi- dence introduced to substantiate the charges against the prisoner the judge had no other alternative than to discharge him.
 Doughertys counsel was obliged to call up on the deputy sheriff to attach some of the prisoners money in order to get his fee.
