STRANGE ABDUCTION
Novel and Outrageous Case of
 Kidnapping.
A POOR ovERsEER IN TROUBLE
He ImprisOns Man in an AlmshOuse on
 an Alleged Forged Order.

The Scheme Exposed by the Steward of the
 InstitutiOn-FIctItio Names on the
 Commitment Papers-The Abduction
 Probably Instigatsd by a Relative-Tho
 Guilty Parties to be Prosecuted.
 CAMDEN, N. J., April 9.-One of the
 most novel, bold and outrageous cases of
 kidnapping has just been brought to
 light at the meeting of the Board of
 Chosen Freeholders in Camden County.
 The case, which is Q remarkable one in detail, was unearthed by Steward Adams
 of the Blackwood Town Almshouse. The story also discloses big case of forgery,
 which may put Frank Stewart, an over
 seer of the poor, behind the bars.
 Steward Adams said that last week
 Overseer of the Poor Frank Stewart of
 Gloucester brought a man named Henry Cheeseman, a well-to-do carpenter, who
 lives at 220 Broadway, Gloucester city, to
 the almshouse. After accepting the
 papers from the overseer Mir. Adams said that he went to the hospital, where he found the new inmate sitting on a cot weeping.
 "What's the matterr he asked of Cheeseman. Nothing" was the reply.
 After bit of questioning the steward learned that Cheeseman was a carpenter He then told Adams that while working g on a building last week Stewart came to him and said:
 "Cheeseman, come with me-" ''Where?' asked tho carpenter. "To the Blackwood Almshouse,' was the answer.
 "I don't want to go there," Cheesoman answered.
 "It don't make any difference what you want or what you don't want. You have got to come with me. I've got a commitment for you," and he was forced to go with the oVerseer.
 Steward Adams investigated the story immediately and discovered that Cheese man had been kidnapped and removed to the almshouse. The papers under which he was committed were examined, and iL was found that they had been made ont by Squire Boncroft, of Gloucester City. The name of Freeholder Byers was at tached as one of the witnesses, and the two other names were James Green and Daniel Kane. The latter two are ficti- tious. Freeholder Byers declared that his name on the commitment was a forgery Prosecutor Jenkins was present at the 1 meeting, and he was instructed by the Board to look into the matter and take action against Stewart. Cheeseman says the a bduction was probably done at the insti gation of a relative. He corroborated the stew ards story before the Board.
