Ferriter's Change of Venue.

Prosecuting Attorney Wiltsie and John
Spahr, attorney for John Ferriter, have not
yet agreed where the case shall be sent.
When the lawyers have selected a county
the court will take official action in the
change of venue proceedings. In granting
the change of venue the court had no dis
cretionary power and the states attorney
no authority to resist the motion. In cases
of murder in the first degree the accused

AN UNEQUAL STRUGGLE.

The little girl finally went out to where
her brother sat, and as soon as she came
within reach he grabbed her by the arm
and tried to pull her into the buggy. AT
this demonstration Mrs. Williams, despite
her sixty-siX years of age, rushed to the
vehicle and caught hold of the child. The
unequal struggle-the strength of the
mother and son being pitted against that
of the aged Mrs. Williams-was terminated
by a man living near by, who came to Mrs.
WilliamS'S assistance and made her adj
versarieS release the child. The mother,
after muttering excavations upon the heads
Of the victors, was obliged to drive away
without the girl.
The little boy, who was successfully alb
Quoted, wore a red waist, dark checked
knickerbockerS and a military cap. No
clew has been obtained regarding his
whereabouts since he was stolen from the
suburb. Mrs. Peek, who was caring for the
boy, fears that his abductors have already
departed from the city with him. 1t seems
to be her theory that John Lockwood, who
is claimed to be an admirer of the boys
mother and who is supposed to be the man
who carried off the boy, and Eliza Howard,
the mother, were all ready to leave this
to secure the children in order to carry
them away with them. She fears that they
have already gone to Illinois and taken the
boy with them, and says she hardly eX-
staying at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Williams, last night when seen by a jour
nal reporter. and Mrs. Williams was fear
full lest another attempt be made during
the night to secure the little girl, who is
still under her care. The police were mott
turned over to the Board of Children's
Guardians,

TO STEAL THEM
MOTHERS DESPERATE EFFORT TO
RECOVER HER CHILDREN.
Little Joseph Moore kidnapped and
His Sister Has n Narrow Es-
cape from Abduction.

Little Joseph Moore, aged seven years.
the adopted son of Mrs. Samuel Peek. of
No. 66 Belmont avenue, West indianapolis
was abducted yesterday noon as he was re-
turning from school; and about the same
hour an attempt was made to abduct his
little sister, aged eight years, who was be-
ing cared for by her grandmother, Mrs.
Mary Williams, Of No. 21S Bright street, in
the city. The children who witnessed the
abduction Of the little boy say that a man
and a boy drove up to the curb in a buggy
and told the child to get into the ehicle
and they would take him over to see his
grandmother, Mrs. Williams. The boy
climbed into the buggy, which was driven
towards the city by his abductors. The
children who witnessed the affair say that
the boy in the buggy was a brother of
little Joseph and Mrs. Peek thinks the man
was John Lockwood, an alleged admirer of
the child's mother.
The father of the little boy and his sister
Carrie is dead and was a brother of Mrs.
Peek. Their mother, who is known both
as Eliza Howard and Eliza Moore, lives in
the city, and the children had been taken
from her on account of her addiction to
strong drink and looseness of character by
the Board of Children's Guardians the later
part of last year. When the mother found
that the children were to be taken from
her she solicited Mrs. Peek and Mrs. Peek's
mother, Mrs. Williams, to take the children
and care for them and the children were
given to the care of the two women by the
board.
EFFORT TO STEAL THE GIRL.
While the mothers plot to secure possess
sion of the children was being successfully
accomplished in West Indianapolis, she,
Eliza Moore Howard, n her confederates
were trying to steal the little girl in the
city. The mother called at Mrs. Williams's
home on Bright street a few minutes be-
fore the noon hour and asked her where
Carrie was, and was informed that she was
at school. In order to get away from the
house without exciting suspicion she said
she was feeling i'll and was going to see a
doctor. Mrs. Williams, however, suspected
that the woman was trying. to get possess
sion or the girl for some reason, and started
TO the school building to Illustrate any de-
girl from the building she noticed a
phaeton in which sat the woman's uncle,
Thomas Moorehouse, and one of the
WomanS sons, apparently waiting for the
school to dismiss. She took the child home
and the mother followed to the door Of the
house and the buggy, from which the man
had dismounted, also topped in front.
While the mother was eXp~ostulating with
Mrs. Williams the young man in the vehicle
called to the girl to come and get some
to go to the buggy, and the mother pro-
tested and asked her if she was afraid to
let the little one go out and get some candy
from her brother.
