THR BABY STOLEN.
| ION Sunday they met me at the Park We
left the baby carriage there aud then boarded

went to Mrs. Cosgrff's house in Twentyscv-
| cnth street. and there Mrs. Wilson and I
| changed clothing.
| Mrs. Wilson seut out the first three letters
on the afternoon OF the stealing OF the
child. At least she told me at the time
l hat CHI haI fhnk
then that what | had done was so
| awful. especially as Marion and | had great
| times romping about the house She did not
| seem to miss her mother even II little bit. but
| was perfectly contentcd. But the next morn
| ing. when we saw the whole business in the
| newspapers. We were scared nearly to death.
| Mrs Wilson went over to New York to see her
| husband and he hurried back to Brooklyn with
| her. Then we decided to go to SIoatsburR.

| carried Marion. and Marion hated her. She
| kicked and struggled and cried. 1t made me
| awfully angry as was afraid it would attract
| too much attention TO US. when everybody was
| looking for the child. On our arrival at SloatB-
burg l slept with Marion at night.
| IL was at Sloatsburg until the following
| Friday. when l returned to New York. All

| rode around New York, and took great pleas
| ure In guying policemen. They did not recogs
nize. and thought l was flirting with them.

| policemen. and he got scared. as he thought
| would be arrested and would tel
all knew. SO he camo to New York and told
me his wife had been arrested and that had
