MONTREAL, June 9.-The COwles ab-
duetfon case has been abandoned. This
afternoon Cowles called for Supt. kirk
patrick. of the Montreal general hospi-
tai, and stated that he was willing to
give up the child to his wife. Accord
ingIy, he affixed his signature to the
following document, written by DR..
Kirkpatrick at his dictatiOn, and wit
messed by one of the house surgeons:
To Nine Sultzen and Ladies of the Sacred
Heart: Please deliver to my wife, Alice ID.
Cowles. QUE daughter, Florence Cowles, with.
out delay, and consider this an annulment OF
my former order respecting the child
EUGENE Ii. CowLEs.
When this fact becomes known twill
create CONSERVATION among the legal
fraternity, who are yet unacaualnted
with it, the case being sub-ludice. G..
G. Hale, of Cleveland, O.. appeared In
the superior court under arrest this
morning on the charge of shooting with
intent to kill his brother-in-law, Eugene
B. CowleS, of the same city, a son of the
late Edwin Cowles, of the Cleveland
Leader. There also appeared Mrs.
Cowles and her daughter Florence,
Mrs Bolton, Judge Ingersoll, counsel
for Mrs. Cowles, and Nj. Gibson, repre-
Senting the Drummond secret service
agency at Washington. Mr.. Hale looked
very thoughtful, was faultlessly at
tired and a trifle pale after his
nights confinement. Mrs. Cowles
had her child Florence by her
side. and her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Bolton was in constant attendance. This
morning Justice TAFT issued prelim-
mary order to the nuns to bring the
child into court, which they did, plae-
ing her in the care of BaiIiff Lajeuness.
Mr.. Gibson appeared for Mrs. CoWles
and asked that witt of habeaS corpus
be issued compelling the nuns to pro-
duce the child in legal form. Judge
Mathe granted the writ. after examln-
ing the affidavits which were filed, re-
citing in substance the facts OF the
shooting. The writ was made return
able for 8 O'clock this afternoon. A
subpoena was served OH Cowles, but he
was too ill to receive 1T, much less to
act upon it. At 8 O'Clock all interested
appeared in court, but in the alb
sence of CoWIeS Judge TAFT adj
journed the case until Wednesday.
Every one thought the proceedings
we're stayed. but in that they We're
wrong. The Associated Press corre-
Sp0nQ6nC Went 10 Tile Stlltfdl HOSpiuaA
and saw DR.. Kirkpatrick, whom he in
formed that his patient would proba-
bly, be condemned without g q
hearing. The doctor at once asked
Cowles if he wished the pro-
ceedings stayed, to which he re-
piled that he would do nothing further
and was willing to give. up the child.
Cowles' condition tonight is quite
serious, more especially because he is
suffering from consumption. 'If [
die," he said to reporter, land lam
afraid l will, it will go hard with poor
CIeve Hale" Hale was released to-day
from prison, in charge of two officers,
and is stopping with his friends at the
Windsor. General satisfaction is ex-
pressed at this unexpected turn, OF
affairs in the case.
Salacious Correspondence.
Several newspaper correspondents
were permitted tonight to examine all
the affidavits that have been filed in
the Cowles case; but now that the coll
test has been abandoned it can serve no
good purpose to make them public.
The correspondence between Cowles
and his wife is of the most repulSIve
