and he was fined $25 in police court for
that offense.
cAThe only motive White can ascribe
he crime is kidnapping, for he says
las no enemies and the intruder
.ently had no intention of rop-
berry, as several small articles OF jew
elry were left untouched on a dresser
in the room. The entrance to the
house is from d balcony wnfcn runs
around the second story of the house
and as the family were all in the rear
of the place in the morning it was
easy for the intruder to make his es-
cape without being seen.
The little girl was unable to walk
for several hours after her rescue and
was deathly sick from the overdose of
drugs, but aside from a severe nerv-
Gus shock she was unhurt. The pO-

but no clue has been found to the
stranger, although the child says he
was frequently in the neighbOrhood of
the house before the assault.
