Abduction Case Set
tied Saturday at
HoughtOn.
MIR. CrOssen Gets the Child.
Hancock Council Purchases the Pro-
perry From Mr. MoraIee-Other
Late News.

The final act Of the Crossen abduction
case from Calumet took place before
Judge Hubbeli, sitting in chambers, Sat
urday. The matter was brought before
the court on writ OF habeus corpus
got out by Mr.. Crossen TO gain posses
sion OF the little 6 year-old girl.
The history of the case is as follows:
The child's mother died when it was
born and Crossen gave the child to Mrs.
Kinsman to raise and as Mrs. Kinsman
says 1t was understood that he would
not claim it again. A few weeks ago the
father took the child in such manner as
led to his arrest for abduction. Then
Mrs. Kinsman removed the child in her
turn and the habeus corpus proceedings
oil Saturday resulted. The court holding
that the agreement between Mr.. Crossen
and Mrs Kinsman not being in writing
the former was entitled to the custody
OF the child. Then came very affecting
scene. The little girl clung to the woman
and cried at the idea OF leaving her, ex-
claiming, ''Oh do not let him take me-"
The scene was a direct contradiction TO
the former evidence OF certain persons
that force had to be used by Mrs. Klns-
man when she took the child from Cros-
sen. Mrs. Kinsman evidently felt as
badly as any mother could and has re.
peatedly said that she would as soon part
with one OF her own children.
