Daughter of English Lord Kidnapped OF
Japan Is in New York
Asylum.

NEW YORK, Feb. G-Thc daughter
of an English lord, who was kidnapped
off the coast Of Yokohama in November
last, has been brought to this city on
board a yacht. She is a raving maniac
and has been transferred to an insane
asylum.
These facts became known yesterday,
when il was learned that a warrant was
in the hands of central Office men sup
poscdly for the arrest of the man who
Is held responsible for the kidnapping.
Believed She Was an Heiress
From trustworthy source it was
learned that an English lord, while trav-
cling in France, in 1876, met a woman
who afterward became the mother Of n
child. This child, n girl, was taken to
England by the lord and kept away
from his family. He finally consented
that q friend, the captain of merchant
man plying between London and Yoke
hama, should adopt the girl.
The girl was brought up at Yokohama.
ON sen trips with her adopted father she
is said to have met the lord, who lived
on his estate. Soon the girl came to be
spoken Of an an heir TO some of the
lords property, and this fact led to the
kidnapping.
The report IS mat she was taken from
n boat on which she was n passenger to
a yacht. Six weeks later the yacht, it is
said, was in New York harbor, but the
woman was missing The London and
Yokohama police corrospondcd, and then
the New York police were asked to hunt
for the missing woman.
Find Her at Insane Asylum.
. The search Of the central office detec-
itves resulted in their finding her III an
insane asylum or sauatorum here.
When the yacht came into port the au-
liberties found the woman virtually
prisoner in cabin, where she had been
kept for six weeks. The quarantine au-
liberties discovered that she was mental
" unbalanced, and it was even reported
that she had become n rayiug maniac.
