n. T. Llghtfoot on a charge OF nui-
sance preferred by Mr.. Nelson. but
released on condition that she would
leave Paducah by 6 O'Clock this even
ing. The girl promised.
The facts leading up to the kidnap-
ing point directly that Mrs. HOLMAN
was bent on this purpose II her two
younger children had been taken
from her.
Mrs. Holman conducted a dis
orderly house on North Tenth street
and the police visited the place and
found the 13-year-o'd daughter was
an inmate. They at once took Julia
and Michael away, placing the boy
In the Home OF the Friendless. II
was found that the girl was suffering
with oathsome disease and she was
taken TO Riverside hospital for treat
ment.
That occurred about two months
ago and after several weeks of treat
ment the girl was discharged and
placed IN the Home of the Friendless.
In the meantime the mother and
Agnes were arrested on a charge Of
immortality and running dlsorderiy
house. They we're convicted in po-
ilce court and sentenced to Jail. After
serving out their time they are said
20 have set up another house.
Last Tuesday morning. the day
Julia and Michael escaped from the
Home OF the Friendless. Judge Light
/ foot had arranged to send Julia TO the
House OF Reform at Lexington. She,
with her brother. escaped that night.
Miss Bilyou said that the children
must have made their escape through
the back door Of the home and that
their mother was waiting for them
There Were no eyewitnesses as far as
Is known.
Ohcer Nelson has been busy trying
TO locate Mrs Holman and the two
smaller children. but has had no re-
suits. Il is the presumption that the
mother and children left town or are
either secreted away In some remote
section Of The city. Agnes. who re-
fused TO say anything about her
mothers whereabouts, doubtless
] knows where she and the children
are and vii go to them.

Home of the Friendless to release
from custody Joe Ingram, the 2a
year-old infant of Mr.. and Mrs. Clar-
ence Ingram, will be instituted in
county court at an early date by At
torney NJ. E. Gilbert.
The boy has been the source OF a
bitter legal fight in the circuit court,

decision that the circuit court had
no Jurisdiction in the matter as the
case should come before the county
court first and then appealed to the
circuit court.
Joe has been at the Home of the
Fr!endless since last year, and a
hard fight to secure his son has been
made by the father, who recently re-
turned from service in the United
States army. The boy was taken
from the home of Robert Tidwell by
Jap Toner at that time humane Off
Ger and secretary of the Charity club
He found the child to be in a hall
