Court today adjourned until this after
noon the hearing of the complaints
lodged by Mrs Young against her di-
vorced husband, Alexander G. Young,
charging him with kidnapping their two
and half year old daughter Louise and
assault with intent to kill.
When the case was called the Magis-
trate asked sharply:
What's this case?"
Lawyer Fred House, counsel for
Young, stated that the divorce which
Mrs. Young had obtained was only a
limited decree and under it's provisions,
the husband had custody of the child
for three months of the year and the
wife mine months
Mr.. House contended that the first
three months period of custody belonged
to the husband.
My husband was divorced man
when | married him. broke in Mrs.
Young.
That's true" admitted Young.
Did you know that he was divorced
when you married him?'' asked the ma
gistrate of Mrs. Young.
Yes, but what difference does that
make to you?" was her angry retort.
If you knew your husband was di-
vorced," shouted the Magistrate, pale
with anger, you are no better than he
is''
THE ARREST.
Young was arrested last evening in the
Imperial Hotel, Thirty-second street and
Broadway, where he made an engage
ment to meet his former wife, She ap-
peared with Detectives O'Neill and Cur
ran, and the arrest took place. Thomas
d. Day, a lawyer representing Mrs.
Young, walked near Young when he was
being escorted to the police station.
After crossing Broadway Young sudden
ly landed his fist squarely on Days jaw.
Day went down, and had to be helped to
his feet. He was completely knocked
out, and Young expressed his keen graft
fcation at this.
Before Desk Sergeant Mott Young ad-
mitted he took the child, and said he had
acted in the best interests of his daugh-
ter.
Why, yes; you can call it kidnapping
or any old thing you like said Young.
Il took the child. Last Sunday morn
ing met little Louisa with her nurse.
Sarah Low, at Forty-ffth street and
Fifth avenue. / took the little one up
in my arms and drove away with her in
cab. That's all there is to it,
Guilty? Yes, if you call it crime
for father to wish his child well.
Heaven may get the little girl, but hell
won't"
MRS. YOUNG INDIGNANT.
Mrs. Young asserted her former hus-
band had made preparations to take the
child out of the city today. She also
told the police he had entered her apart
ment in the st. James Hotel, No. 100
| West Fortieth street, last Sunday, and
wanted charge entered against him on
this account. Captain Walsh refused to
consider this request, and she was in

Under the guard of detectives. Young
was permitted to telephone to his friends
He first called up Barlow S. Weeks
attorney for Roland B. Molineux, and
asked him to furnish bail for his re-
lease Young announced Mr.. Weeks
would give bail, and then held short
conversations with George Gordon Bat

several politicians in Hoboken.

four hours, Young was released on bail

ANOTHER KIDNAPPING.
Mrs. Young obtained divorce three
months ago. Her husband then had
charge of their daughter, and to keep the
child from his wife took her to Con-
necticut. There in August, it was found
by Mrs. Young. who, after a sensational
dash, brought little Louisa to this city,
The child had been living with her
mother until she was taken by Young on
Sunday. At present only Young knows
where his daughter is hidden. Mrs
Young pleaded in vain with him last
night to tell where their child was.
