their power to secure aD interview with
Dr., Cody who was last seen at Davies
drug store about o'clock in the after

that he wanted to go home, but his son
at length induced him to 60 away with
him. 1t was thought tina they intended
to go to the Republican House, but
inquiry did not reveal that that was the
fact. This is Col. SCOTS version:
Mrs Cody, accompanied by Col. Scott
and Attorney Pcase, drove to the house
of Clerk Meiswinkel, of the municipal
court, to obtain a warrant for the arrest
of VIM. G Cody, the lcctor's son, on
the charge of Kidnapping his father

A writ of habeas corpus was finally
obtained from Court Commissioner A G.
Fraser, directed to William Cody, and
ordering him to produce the body of his
father at Commissioner Fraser's Office,
427 Milwaukee street. The writ was
given to Deputy Sheriff Buckley, who
made the rounds OF the depots and
watched the outgoing trains, but he failed
to find the missing father and son.
Sheriff Paschen also drove to the resi-
denre Of E. E. Davis, the druggist on
Eighth street, in the hope of discovering
some clue to DR.. Cody and son. The hack
containing Mrs, Cody and her attorney

Of Somers & Somers between aud 10
o'clock yesterday morning. He claimed
thar he had with his son, spent the
night at the house of a friend in the city
and that the son had gone to Waterown

Somers' law office the greater part Of the
day, resting upon lounge. He seemed
very much worn aad spoke only when

OF Watertown, who attended DR.. Cody in
his recent sickness, and by Colonel d. d.
Scott, OF WATERFOWL, who is working in
Mrs. Cody's interest. DR.. Cody told Mr.
Scott that he had been sick ever since he
had left Walertown to go to Stevens
Point, and that be had gone through SO
much as to be entirely worn out When
asked if be would be willing to make up
the matter with his wife, he said repeat
eddy that he would not live with her
under any circumstances. He refused to
see his wife. but said he would be willing
to consult her attorney as to the amount
of almony to be paid her pending de
csion in the divorce suit.
