In other respects she testified to the
facts of the abduction and flight as
she had confessed them after her arrest.
George Barrow went ON the stand
in his own behalf. The first he saw of
the Clarke btby, he said, was ON Mon
day afternoon, May 22nd, when he met
his wife at Jersey City. She had Car
RE Jones and the baby with her. When
he read about the kidnapping of Baby
Clarke, he became suspicious and
charged his wife and Carrie Jones with
the crime. They broke down, he said,
and confessed. Then he was confused
as to what to do. Carrie Jones refused
to take the baby back then and he
could not call the police in, as he did
not want his wife to be arrested. The
