Las Vegas. Then they were lost tC
sight. The woman's husband said she
went to Nashville, Tenn, with the lit
tie girl, but it seemed more evident
that they went to Denver, and later
an old Southern Pacific man has seen
them in San Francisco.
The mother was driven almost mad
by the loss of her baby, but as she
had no money she could not put in
motion the machinery that would
certainly have overtaken the fleeing
pair. Now that so powerful an organ
iZation as the Knights of Pythias mas
taken up the matter the child Will in
ali likelihood be returned to its pa
rents.
Ss..rs. Hutch, by the way, has led a
life of romance that adds interest 10
the story of her lost baby. She Is
still young woman though the
mother of three children, the eldest of
whom Is fast approaching woman
hood, being about fifteen years of age.
The mother was born in Monterey,
Mexico, nearly twenty-seven years
ago, the daughter of l.. NJ. Sennett,
who was a Spaniard. Mrs. Hutch,
however, partook more largely of the
features and general appearance of
her mother, who was a native of New
York, while the oldest child, son,
who now lives on a ranch in Beuna
Vista county, Texas, is every inch the
Spaniard that his father was. Soon
after the birth of Aimee the mother
died, and the baby was given to the
care of the Sisters of st. Mary's Con-
vent, San Antonio, where she re-
manned till her marriage.
Before she was thirteen years old
she had by some means met a young
man named Stevens, a bridge builder
on the Southern Pacific Railroad,
with whom she at once became won
derfuily infatuated, and one stormy
night in September, 1870, she escaped
from the convent through q window,
climbed down n ladder and met her
lover in the darkness. In a carriage
they drove rapidly TO kerrville,a small
town a few miles away, where they
were mar led. This young mechanic
seems to have been in every way
worthy OF the girl wife he had won,
and his care for her was the tenderest.
When they had been married three
years, and the wife was sixteen years
old, she was the mother of two little
girls. The third, Mamie, was born in
this town several years later.
Four years ago the husband and
and the widow was left to take care of
herself, with the aid of a small pro-
perty accumulated by the husband.
A year later she was married to a man
named Hutch, a handsome fellow,
who won the young and romantic
woman by his appearance OF manli-
ness, his bold daring and his evident
devotion to herself.
This devotion to Eer never ceased,
and she says now that ali the wicked
things he did had for their object the
obtaining of money for her comfort.
Two years ago, at anyrate, he was
convicted of train-robbery and sent to
the penitentiary for term of repent
ance and reform. To the last of his
IMPRISONMENT in the County Jail his
wife was attentive to him in every
little womanly way, though she de
clares that she did not love him. She
saws that he had such bold and dash
inc way of showing his love for her
that no woman could have Kept from
admiripg him. She also felt grateful
to him for his affection, and for those
reasons she did all in her power TO
secure his acquittal and to MAKE Dear
able his imprisonment.
