CHARLIE WASN'T WORRYING.
Farm Hand Schroeder Ran Away
from Home with Him
Says Hc Was Drunk and Is Now
Very Rcpentant.

A brlght-looklng little boy OF seven.
welldressed and clipper. and a rather
rough-looklng man were found wander
ing near Chatham Square yesterday af-
ternoon by an oak street policeman and
were sent to Police Headquarters, where
1t was learned they corresponded with
the desciiptlo of two missing people
from near Paterson. n. j.
The boy was Charlie Kountze. the son
of "A farmer at Lower Preakness, about
four miles from Paterson. The man
was Henry Schroeder. a farm hand
employed by Charles father. who ran
away with the boy Sunday.
Schroeder said that drink caused the
kidnapping. lie was quite intoxicated
when he harnessed UP horse and
buggy to drive to church Sunday morn
ing Charlie was with him. and when
they started. Schroeder thought he
would rather go to New York, so he
drove to Greenwood Lake, where he sold
the horse and rig for S. Then the two
went to the nearest railroad station and
took a train for New York.
They wandered about Sunday, and
found himself in Bowery lodging-house
Yesterday morning after nights sleep,
with three cents in his pocket. The boy
had one cent. Schroeder thinks he was
robbed during the night.
He was very repentant at Jefferson
Market Court to-day, where he was
taken by Central Office Detective George
Doran. and tolu Justice Hogan that he
had meant no harm to the boy.
Contrary to expectation. the parents
of the lad were not in court. A telegram
had been received from the Paterson
Chief of Police saying he would be on
hand, but he did not arrive. SO Justice
Hogan sent the boy back to the Gerry
Society to be taken care of. and Schroe-
der was remanded to Police Headquar-
ters pending the arrival OF the New Jer-
sey authorities.
