A SENSATIONAL KIDNAPPING.
Mystery Ms to the Stealing of the Niies Chill
dren Cleared.

CHICAGO. April 20.-A special dispatch from
Springfield. Ohio, says: The mystery surround
ing probably the most sensational case of child
stealing since the Charley Ross affair has just
been solved by the arrest of Miss Effie Cutler.
Miss Bruner. Miss Batcheler and Ellen Talbot
on the charge of stealing the Niles children at
/ the Instigation of their father. Dr. Niles The
story of the stealing of the children reads more
like romance than sober reality. Dr. and
Mrs. Niles have been fighting i'm the courts for
the custody of the children for some time.
Three weeks ago. on the eve of the decision Of
the court, the children were stolen and could
not be found.
| fessed that she hired a horse and buggy aud
| stole the children at O'Clock IN the morning
| from the house where the sheriff had placed
| them for safe keeping. and drove them twenty
miles to = lonely country place belonging 10
Mr.. and Mrs. Cutler. Here they were kept in
secret and allowed to see no one. Miss Talbot
| further confessed that about a week sfterward
she again went into the country aud visited the
/ house where the children were confined. They
were taken into a room and the sunny-haired
boys Paul and Louis, aged respectively four
teen monthsand four years. were shorn Of their
curls. Some powerful BLACK hair dye then
applied 10 their heads and their hair became
deep black. They were then dressed In two
suits of girls clothing. which Miss Talbot took
out for the purpose of completing the disguise
The children were then taken to Pittsburg and
| finally TO a little town IN Michigan-Howell,
Livingston county.
A detective has started after the children.
The Cutters were 10 get so for the stealing and
| taking care of the children. The money Was
placed on q table aud taken without any er-
PLANTATION except by movements in the sign
language. The father was also arrested and
lodged in Jail on the charge Of child stealing,
as he is said to have planned the whole scheme.
II is believed by the lawyers and detectives
engaged on the that the ofense 10
clearly comprehended under the Ohio statute
on kidnapping child stealing; for il the pun
ishment is from 10 twenty years in the
penitentiary. DIR. Niles had the children
| stolen, it is claimed, because it was generally
thought the courts would give them TO his wife
| and she threatened 10 put them IN . convent,
| to which he was violently opposed.
Miss Drummer and Miss Kate Batcheier were
arrested last night for completely in the Kid
mapping case. Mrs. Batcheler Is u boarding
house keeper with whom the children were left
for safe keeping. The sheriff has received
telegram from Michigan saying that the chill
dren would soon be returned.

Special Cable Dispstoh 90 Tho Evening star.
LONDON, April 20--The room in the new lag
courts in which the Hurlburt case Is being
tried Was crowded TO susecation this morning
by an eager throng intent on hearing the con-
clusion Of the judges charge and the verdict of
the jury. The plaintiff was in court wearing
hat lavishly decked with primroses in honor
OF Primrose day, which this year fell on SUNDAY.
but seemed 10 be unaware that she was being
closely studied by lady with = lorgnette. The
lady was Mrs. Huriburt who reached town on
saturday too late 60 give her important evi-
wished her 90 do so.
MIR. Justice Cave continued his charge By
drawing attention 20 the letter purporting 10
have been sent by the plaintiff from PARIS TO
Mrs. Hurlburt. dated September. lsS9. whereas
IN her diary the plaintiff declared that she
did not know that the defendant married
until 1880. The judge remarked that unless
this apparent contradiction could be explained
doubt would be cast on the authenticity Of
the plaintiffs diary
As to the date Mr.. Condv remarked that the
plaintiff did not admit that she wrote the letter
in September. 1883.
At this point Mrs. Hurlburt asked 10 be
taken from the court room, declaring in a quite
audible tone that she could not stay here and
hear such hes"
After few moments interval Mr.. Justice
Gave concluded his summing up by referring
TO the unwlse step taken by the defendant in
putting on record an alternative plea and cbsrg-
ing that the jury must be satisfied that there
was an actual promise of marriage before they
could lind a verdict for the plaintiff.
The jury then al 1 clock retired 20 consider
their verdict.
Mr.. Justice Cave was. however. not allowed
70 end hls charge without further interruption.
Having been inspired by some new resolution
the lady said TO be Mrs. Hurlburt suddenly re-
appeared in the court room and evidently la
boring under great excitement exclaimed: Il
claim a hearing"
She was at once taken in charge by the court
officials and conducted down stairs 70 the street
AT 2:25 the jury sent question 20 the judge
which wss answered in writing and soon after
ward brought IN a verdict for the defendant.
The jury added that in ats opinion no promise
OF marriage had been proved.
The announcement of the verdict was re-
ceiyed by the people in the court room with
slight applause, which was. however. Instantly
checked. Mr.. HurlDurt received many con-
gratulations.

THE GRAND ARMY ENCAMpMENT.
What 10 Thought About Having IL Here
Next Year.


Next Year.
In August the national encampment of the
Grand Army will be held in Detroit Mich. AT
that meeting the place for holding the en-
campment next year will be selected, and some
discussion is going on in Grand Army circles as
to whether invitation will be extended to the
veterans to come to this city. 1t is conceded
that the old soldiers would like to hold their
next encampment here. Some of them have
not been here since the war and the cheap
railroad rates which are made for those attend
ing these annual gatherings combined with the
fact that the me ing is TO be held at the capt.
tai would, it is believed, bring great crowds TO
help the old soldiers celebrate.
WHAT SOME @. A. r. MEN THINK.
Some of the prominent Grand Army men
here take the same position in regard to invit-
ing the encampment to meet here as they did
last year when the proposition was made to
enter the field in competition with Detroit for
the honor of entertaining the old soldiers. No
invitation was extended last wear. The condi-
tions proposed by some of the delegates from
the department here was that guarantee fund
of $4,000 should be raised by the citizens
This was not done.
Capt Brooks, who is past department CON-
mander. and will go TO the encampment as a
delegate, represents the views of a number of
Grand Army men here. In talking with a STAB
reporter to day he said;
CAPT. BROOKS VIEWS.
''The Grand Army men Of this city would be
glad to have the national encampment held in
this city. But 1, for one, would be unwilling
to invite the delegates here unless they could
be entertained in as good style as they have
been in other cities. 1 have no doubt that a
low estimate would place the amount that
would be expended here during the week
that the encampment is in session at a
million and a half of dollars. The citizens here
would get the benefit and they are the ones TO
provide the entertainment fund. The Grand
Army men are too poor to contribute. but they
will give their services. A fund of $500
must be raised and it 10 probable
that it would be all expended, that there
would be none left to return. Unless the citi-
zens raise this sum l will oppose on the floor of
the eneampment proposition to hold the next
meeting here. If the citizens don't appreciate
this opportunity sufficiently to contribute the
meeting ought not to be held here"
NO ACTION YET TAKEN.
Mr.. Brooks said that as far as he knew no
steps had been taken as yet toward ascertaining
whether the money could be raised or not
He said that it was question for the citizens to
decide and if they wanted the encampment they
must go down into their pockets and pay for it,
He said that nothing less than fund of $50, 900
would do.
