family of ex-United States Attorney

afternoon and led to a hot chase
few minutes later across the state to
Overtake the wife of Samuel ID. Miller,
son of w. III. III. Miller. who was sup
posed to be fleeing to New York with
her stolen son.
Samuel Miller and wife have lived
in New York for several years, and
last summer he came west to go into
his fathers office. His wife stayed in
New York. Last Friday she came
here to demand Nossession of her
7-year-old son, whom the father had
brought west with him, and was liv-
ing with him at the grandfather's
house, w. H. H. Miller.
The husband and wife had a con-
sultation at the wife's apartments in
the Denison, and she agreed, if the
boy was allowed to be sent to her
daily with the nurse, she would not
attempt to kidnap him.
Wednesday afternoon the boy and
nurse called on Mrs. Miller at the
get "a check cashed, and while the
goyerness was gone ordered a car
riage and made arrangements to
leave. When the governess returned
Mrs. Miller announced that they were
going for drive. They started in
ole
street toward the depot. The Ger
man governess, suspecting foul play,
jumped out of the carriage while it
was on run, ran to a telephone and
notified the father and grandfather.
Mrs. Miller Immediately ordered the
carriage driven to Brightwood, and
when the two Millers arrived at the.
Union station there was no trace of
the woman and boy. Two hours later
they learned from the hackman
where he had gone, and it was be-
ieved she intended to take the Big
Four accommodation train at Bright
wood and then take the Knicker-
booker train at Anderson or Muncie.
At $40 the two Millers started on the
Knickerbocker to run her dawn be-
fore she got out of the stated

Pottstown, Pa, and Samuel Miller
met her nine years ago at Washing
ton when his father was United
States attorney general. They we&es
married year later, and the boys'
Sidney, is now years old.
The action of the nurse in hurlin.' Z
herself from the rapidly moving Sc
hicle caused commotion in the
wholesale district Wednesday afteryl
noon at 3 o'clock. She was SO excited
she does not remember where she TED
ephoned from to notify w. II Fl. Mil
Ter and his son that Mrs. Miller had
started with the boy. She later was
joined by w. H. H. and Samuel Miller,
and the former sent her home to an
nounce that the two had gcSne in pur-
suit and would return later with Sid
ney, the boy.
The Union City accommodation on
the Big Four leaves Indianapolis at

had originally intended taking, it is
supposed. 1t goes as far as Union

When she left the hotel Mrs. Miller
announced that she was going to
Union City for the night and would
return Thursday.
w. II. II. Miller said: "She has al
ways said she would never under any
circumstances live in Indianapolis.
Sam tried to have her come here
many times, and 1 have wanted him
to come with me as my partner here
for years. 1t is clear case of

to the future"
