< CASE OF


10th Parties Ciaim Q Child Peculiar
Statements. OF Mrs. F~itssimnons.
= A most interesting case was held be-
fore Justice eileen at his office In Simp-
I son. the case being one of kidnapping.
The prosecutor II Mrs. Robert Fitzsim-
mons, and the defendant T. G. Walker:
The prosecutor claims that Walker had
kidnapped and forcibly kept from her
her son, Harry Walker.
When asked IL the child was his SON
Mr.. Walker replied that 1t wal. This
was denied by the prosecutor. she
would not say who was h father, but
said that she was living with Walker in
England. at the. time Of his birth.
Attorney Butler. who was attorney
for the defendant, made a little speech.
He said: 1.-The fact that the child Is
with its father does not prove that
Il was kidnapped. The child has now
reached an age when 1t knows its own
.feelinks, and which parent he wishes
to live with. I understand that this
woman is married again to a mar
named Fitzsimmons. 'Stepfathers and
stepmothers are not the proper ones to
care for children. When a child is
forcibly kept away against Its VIII that
ID. kidnapping. The child's mother
would be the proper n to tell who Its
father is" When questioned as to
which he would like to live with the
boy said his father, as his mother
whipped him..
The first witness was John Burns,
who said hat he had known the child's
mother for three months, and that h
was q neighbor Of his. He had always
thought the child was treated kindly
and never saw him whipped.
MI. Walker, who claims to be the
father, said that he came home from
work on Tuesday. Nov. II. at S O'Clock.
The boy was at his boarding house, at
the home of John Kimble, OF Seventh
avenue. He told the child to go home,
but ne didn't want to, SO he started to
take him back. He was met by Chief
McAndrew, who asking what the mat
ter was. on finding he was his father,
told him to tax care Of him. Here he
told his landlady not to let anyone
have the child, should they come for
him.
on the following day Mrs. Fitzsim-
mons came to the house and asked for
the child. but they refused to give it
UP. saying that Mr.. Walker had or
dered them to keep the little boy.
This was the story as told by the
different persons, and after hearing it.
Mr.. Glenn advised the parties to settle
1t between themselves. Mrs. Fltz-
sirrmons said all she wanted was her
child.
There were objections to this. and at
last the Justice said he would have to
place Walker under 5000 bail. Mr..
walker said Mrs. Fitzsimmons could
have the child. but he refused to go
with her. and made a great fuss. Final
ly he was quieted and consented to go.
Walker was then asked II he would
pay the costs. but he refused. How
ever. he at last consented and paid
them all,

were heard by a young man anne Nc

The young men went to a livery

started to take him to his home. On
the way, they were met by DR.. Gillis,

found that he had sustained a com
