Judge Rea Just Wanted to Know Meets
Leland Under Embarrassing Circumstances
and Couldn't Understand How the Kansas
Boss Got That Jeb.
JIG. johnson of Peabody. Kan.
democratic national committeeman,
tells an amusing incident occurring
on Chicago Pull man few evenings
ago.
A few choice spirits were journey
ing as comfortably as possible from
the capital of Kansas to the capital
of the nation, ION private business.
After their leturn from the dining
car they took possession of the
smoking compartment OF the sleeper.
and were enjoying a very sociable
time, when they were joined by Il
stranger, who proved to be Judge
Rae, department commander, G. A.
R., of Minnesota.
The grim-visaged warrior from
Minnesota seemed willing to instruct
the company on almost any matter
of political interest, while the Kan
sas gentlemen, with the modesty
proverbial in their States, smoked
and we're instructed Finally the
Judge got around to the pension
appointme nts of the present admin
istration, and after polishing off
several of them in good shape, said:
"That appointment of pension
agent at Topeka was about the rot
tenest thing that has occurred since
Mckinley went in. Tom Andel son
is the man that should have had it.
All the old soldiers wanted him, and
he had all the Endorsements that
were worth anything, and how the
- that man Leland came 10 get
it is what mona of us can compre-
hend"
Then Jim Simpson spoke up from
behind bis cigar, and indicating a
quiet-looking gentleman sitting near
Judge Rae, said: "By the way,
judge, let me introduce you to Mr..
Leland of Kansas"
There was a dead silence for q
moment. and the judges face was a
study. Finally he arose and pro
ceeded to his berth, but in a moment
returned with handful of good
cigars and said: "Gentlemep, I think
these are rather better than what
you have been smoking, and l want
you all to take one on me-" and the
Kansas gentlemen all threw away
their stogies and ''took one on the
judge.

some spot named in the note was
watched.
CHILD UNCLE IS SUSPECTED.
No clue was found to the kidnap-
ers Of the child or the author Of the
note for nearly week, when the
mysterious actions of Joseph Hardy
a brother in.law of john Conway,
and an uncle of the missing boy, be-
gan to attract attention. He was
accordingly watched and it was
ascertained that he made long and
frequent drives into the country snd
received many letters which led the
officers to suspect that be knew the
whereabouts of the child, and that
there were two other men asso.
ciated with him. They soon learned
that Albert Warner and John Blake
were the others After weeks Of
searching for Warner and Blake they
were traced to an old abandoned
building few miles from Albany,
one of the men having been seen to
enter the door. The officers entered
the building, but the men escaped
by jumping through the windows.
Johnny Conway was found inside.
unharmed.
SEEKS REFUGE IN FLIGHT.
It was learned that after his escape
from the officers at the old building
in the woods near Albany, Warner
boarded train for Schenectady, and
that while on the train the conductor
recognized him from his picture in
the papers. Warner heard that he
had been identified and left the
train. He then walked on from
Schenectady to Kingston where he
went by rail to Jersey City. The
police learned that he was in hiding
there and he went to Philadelphia
where he remained several weeks.
Then he came west, passing through
Kansas City about ten weeks ago.
Warner was seen in his cell at the
police holdover by a reporter for the
Times yesterday afternoon, but re-
fused to talk much.
Eyes, I am Warner all right, and
have lived in New York." said he,
but as to whether 1 am guilty of the
charge of Kidnapping the Conway
child, have nothing to say"
''Is there any truth in the story
that you rode from Philadelphia to
Kansas City on a wheel?"
mo there is no truth in it," he
answered with laugh, "but I ride
some times," be added.
HIS LETTERS LEAD TO HIS ARREST.
Warner talked freely OF his family.
His wife and two children live in
Waterford, N. Y. He has not lived
with his wife during the last two
years, but denies that they have been
divorced.
Il notice in the paper that my
capture is due to my correspondent &c
with sweetheart in Philadelphia, y
said the tall ,ed.whiskered lawyer.
"There is no truth in that story,
either. My theory as to how 1 haye
been apprehended is that my letters
to my mother have been intercepted.
My parents live in New York City
on West Tenth street. believe if
had cut off all communications with
them I should probably not be
where I am."
