Government Attorneys Attempt to- Get
Debs ON the Stand.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE government
attorney in the Debs case asked that Mr..
dent Debs and the other defendants be
called upon to testify. The defense OBJ
jected and Judge Woods allowed the
matter to pass without ruling. Roy
Baker. a reporter, was the first witness.
His testimony related to manifesto
against the Pullman company issued by
Debs Wallace Rice, reporter, who, as d
delegate from local union was present
at the A. r. u. convention, told Of the
scenes during the consideration of the
Pullman strike. The witness said that
Debs made fiery speech urging the
boycott and declaring that he would
rather see the A. r.. u. go to wreck in

uselessly. Howard, Mr.. Rice said, was
much more conservative and opposed
the ordering of the 0oycott.

CAUGHT.
Exciting Chase at Thompson, Conn.,,
After a Young Son of Banker
Ferdinand Ward.
MEN CAPTURED AND JAILED
Father of the 10y Believed to Have
Been at the Bottom of the
Whole Affair.

THOMPSON, Conn, Sept. l4.-The little
village of Thompsontown, one mile
south OF here, was excited about 0
o'clock o. m. by report that Clarence
Ward, the 10-year-old SON of Ferdinand
Ward, the ex-banker and financier of
New York, had been kidnapped from
the home of his guardian, Mr.. Freder-
ick ID. Green. The news spread rapid
" and soon the authorities in all the
surrounding towns were looking for the
kidnappers. About 8 o'clock q. m.
while Clarence was playing in the yard
surrounding the Green residence, with
MIR. Green's daughter, two men drove
up to the gate, called the boy and asked
him his name. While he stood at the
gate talking one of the men got out Of
the buggy and
Quickly SEEKING the Child,
put him in the carriage and held him
there. The horse was then whipped
up, and the kidnappers drove north
towards Webster, Mass, just over the
state line. Miss Green alarmed the
household and her father at once noti-
fed tbs police in all surrounding towns
and then started in pursuit of the kid
nappers. About 10 o'clock a message
was received here from Webster
announcing that the men had been
arrested there and the boy re-
covered. He was soon afterwards re-
turned to Mr.. Green, and the men
locked up. The boys father has sew
eral times tried to get possession of the
child, without success.
The boy has made his home with his
uncle, Mr.. Green, in Thompsontown,
since the death Of his mother, while his
father was in Sing Sing. Mr.. Green
was appointed the boys guardian by
the New York courts, and has charge
of the property left to Clarence by his
mother.
