KIDNAPPED BOY FOUND.
Little Frederick Muth Stolen for Ran
som and Recovered.

Philadelphia.-Little Frederick Muth,
VINO was kidnapped from school on
luesday last. was recovered FROM
MS captor in sensational man
ner Monday afternoon. For several
days the identity OF the kidnapper
has been known to the police, but
despite the efforts OF 400 men who
have been working on the case, he
was not located until Monday.
accompanied by one of his men.
Chief of Detectives Donaghy went to
426 North Sixty-second street in West
Philadelphia and there found John Jo-
seph Kean with his captive. Kean at
tempted to escape and was shot at by
the detectives.
The bullets missed their aim, but
kean surrendered and was taken to
police headquarters. The kidnapper.
who is forty-two years old. is de-
scribed as a former stock broker. who
had recently been a real estate agent.
He has wife and three children. and
1t is believed that his desperate finan-
cial situation drove him to his crime.
In communications to the father Of
the child he demanded 5000 for its
return. and in letter written on Fri
day declared he would kill the child
and himself II the money was not
forthcoming. Kean's terms were ac-
ceded 10 in a personal" inserted in
all of Saturdays papers. In snbse-
qnent letter Kean proposed new terms
and these were likewise accepted and
another personal" was inserted in
Sundays newspapers.
Meanwhile misleading stories have
been given to the public by the police
in order to serve their purpose.
The boy. who is only seven years
old. was apparently unharmed except
that he bore evidence of suffering
from hunger and exposure.
When the kidnapper and his victim
were brought before Superintendent
his hand the school books he had
when he was enticed from school by
decoy note purporting to be from
| his mother.
The house in which they were found
is an unoccupied dwelling on the out
skirts of the city.
The capture was primarily due to
| the publication in Sundays newspa-
pers that the police had abandoned
their search for the Kidnapped boy.
This threw Kean off his guard and he
ventured outside the house. Detective
| Blair. who was watching the house,
pounced on him and succeeded in fore
ing confession from him. When the
boy was found in the house he was
very dirty. not having been washed
since last Tuesday. He said he had
been kept constantly in the house. had
been given bread and milk to eat and
| was not mistreated.
| Kean was locked up and the boy
was taken to the home of his parents

family will Immediately thereafter

that SO long as the arbitrariness and

freedom" or exhausted all means to

MURDER OF JEWS
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS JOIN clTI-
zENs IN MASSACRE.
BLOODY DAY At BIALYsToK
Bodies Of Jewish Victims Hacked to
Pieces-Number Of Dead Esti-
mated at Two Hundred-Many
More Wounded.

st. Petersburg-The embargo on
news from Bialystok was lifted Mon
day and the Associated Press staff cor
respondent was for the first time al
lowed to telegraph directly from the
sacked city a picture of the scene Of
ruin and desolation left in the wake of
the mob.
Order was restored and maintained
throughout the day. In spite of the in
centive to disorder at funerals which
were in progress almost the whole
day; but the atmosphere is super
charged and slight event may suffice
TO precipitate a renewal of street fight
ing.
The authorities apparently realize
this. and hope to avert such a catastro-
phe by strong show of force. On one
occasion the whole garrison was called
out on some alarm and the streets
were literally packed with horse, foot
and artillery until the danger was
passed.
1t Ia evident from the dispatches that
the excesses. assumed the character OF
a three-cornered fight between the mil
itary, mob and armed members of the
Jewish bund, who instead of submit
ting passively to slaughter, as their
unarmed co-religionists have done
enemy's camp and fought brayely,
though without inficting appreciablc
loss on the troops. among whom no
serious casualties have been reported.
Seventy bodies were buried to-day
less than half the number killed. Jew
ish estimates place the dead at 200.
The number of wounded is enormous
Horrible details have been sent out
by the correspondent of the Bourse Ga
zette, who arrived in Bialystok in COM
pany with Deputy Stchepkin Saturday
and who managed to send his story by
a messenger Sunday afternoon.
The correspondent. who accompa.
MED Stchepkn directly to the hospi-
tai, escorted by corporal's guard,
says he was utterly unnerved by the
sights he witnessed there.
Merely saying that the corpses
were mutilated." the correspondent
writes, failed to describe the awful
scenes. The faces of the dead have
lost all human semblance and the
corpses simply are crushed masses OF
flesh and bone soaking in blood. 1t is
impossible to conceive of such bestial-
ity."

MURDER AT sALIDA.
jealousy Causes Mrs. Hutchinson to
Kill Mrs. Bode.

Salida, Colo.-Maddened with jeal-
ousy, because she thought her hus-
band had been unfaithful to her, Mrs.
Grace Hutchinson walked into the
back yard of the home of Mrs. Carl +.
Bode McIday morning and killed her.
Mrs. Hutchinson fired two shots
from .32 calibre revolver. The first
bullet missed its mark. The second
cartridge missed fire, but the third ex-
ploded, the bullet striking Mrs. Bode
on the point of the chin, passing
through the neck and severing the jug
ular vein.
Mortally wounded, the woman sank
into the arms of Mrs. HON Haley, a
neighbor, with whom she had been
talking. Mrs. Bode expired almost be-
fore the smoke from her assailants re-
volver had disappeared.
Mrs. Hutchinson calmly watched
the woman die and appeared satisfied.
81 guess you won't be friendly with
my husband any more" she remarked
as she coolly turned away and walked
out of the yard.
James Broney, who had been paint
ing in an adjacent house, was attracted
by the sound of the shots. He rushed
after the woman he saw walking down
the street with the smoking revolver
still in her hand. She made no resist
ence, but accompanied Broney to po-
lice headquarters. where she was
locked up.
Both families are old residents, and
are well and favorably known here.
Mrs. Hutchinson is the wife of Harold
Hutchinson, a Denver C Rio Grande
switchman employed in the yards here.
She has son seven years old. Her
maiden name was Grace Green and
she has a mother and sister residing at
Poncha Springs, both of whom were
with her here Monday until she was
taken to Buena Vista by Sheriff
Ankele.
Mrs. Bode was thirty-three years old.
Her husband, Charles F. Bode, is an
engineer on the second division of the
Denver & Rio Grande. He had just
started out on his run few minutes
before the tragedy and was notified at
Buena Vista of the killing. He re-
turned home at once, prostrated over
the affair.
Mrs. Bode also leaves three children,
one a daughter about fourteen years
old and two twin sons about eight
years old The twins are known all
over the state for their ability as box
ers, and have been frequent attrac-
tions at entertainments.
The officers say that the killing of
Mrs. Bode was carefully planned. They
state that Mrs. Hutchinson went to a
hardware store about half an hour be-
fore the shooting and purchased the
revolver. She is alleged to have told
the clerk he need not wrap 1t up, but
placed it in her handbag without tell
ing him why she wanted it.
