SAYS HE WAS KIDNAPPED.
For Six Weeks Dr. Conkiing Alleges That
 He Was Kept a Prisoner

W As hept u
 CAssoPoLIs, Mich. Oct. l9.-Dr A. B Conkling has returned and says he was Kidnapped on tho night of Sept. by two negroes and driven all night to the house of some colored people. where he was kept in confinement one week and then taken to some city unknown to him and turned over to two men. After this he was cart cd around by night and confined in build ings by day, always under guard. His captors always wore masks, and he would be unable to recognize them.
 Ho was released Tuesday night and walked until he reached n house which he found was few miles from Cincin- natl He pawned his watch there for money with which to get home.
