G. Wade, the murdered woman's first husband, was kidnapped and carried away from Hot Springs It became known last night that the little girl had been located in Birming- ham. and that the police have been on the outlook for the kidnapper since Thursday.
 The case involving the death of Mrs. Teachers is a very complicated one, It being unknown whether Wade, the first husband of the deceased woman, or a man named R. G. Bannister Is the murderer Wade is under arrest in Walters, Okla, the police there having received orders to hold him on sus- picion. Bannister is still at large, but 1t is known that he was in Birmingham on Thursday.
 Mrs. Teachers, the murdered woman, it seems, was married twice, her first husband, from whom she was divorced, being R. c. Wade, who was until the time he was arreeted. connected with Swift Go. at Oklahoma City. The second husband, who is now pushing a case against Wade, is Frank Teachers.
 On last Monday Mrs. Teachers was murdered in the parlor Of her nome, Kirk street cottage in Hot Springs, death resulting from a blow on the forehead, inflicted with a machinist's hammer, which the murderer left be- hind him. The death of the woman was not discovered until the next day. When the house was examined it was evident that a piano tuner had been there to do some work, as the in- strument in the house indicated as much and a kit of tools was left in the room where the body of the wo- man was found.
 The motive of the murder is SUD- posed to have been robbery since s430 in money and two diamond rings valued at about $500 were stolen, the rings being taken from the womans fingers after she had been murdered.
 Following the discovery of the mur- der efforts to locate the little Swear old daughter Argie proved futile, and .. was concluded that she had been kid naped. Some little children who had

 It was ascertained that "R. G." had disposed of one of the diamonds, valued at $500, in Little Rock for $20, and it was known that he was coming east. Accordingly Chief Bodeker re- eeived a telegram Thursday from the Tot in st n IF him to arrest R. c. Wade.
 Chief Bodeker immediately put de- tectives on the case and on Thursday night 1t was discovered that the little Kidnapped girl was at the residence of Mrs. Reynolds, SIS North Seventeenth street, where she had been left by a man who had engaged a room, but who had not returned up until last night.
 The local police questioned the little girl Nho stated that she had been brought tB Birmingham by man named R. G. Ban rister. This accounts for the statement of the Hot Springs children, who told the rolice ther that Argie had been carried away by man named "R. e.
 As stated, Bannister is still at large Wade, who was arrested in Oklahoma, denies any complicity and asserts that he can prove by number of men that he was Tn Lawton, Okla, on the night of the murder He told the authorities that he had received a telegram from someone stating that his child was taken to Bir- mingham. Dispatches say that he will re- fuse to return to Arkansas without eX- tradition papers.
 J. M. Young'o of Terrell, Tex, grand father of the kidnapped child, arrived in Birmingham last night to take the little girl back to her home in Hot Springs. He states that he does not believe Wade mur- dered Mrs. Reacher, but believes firmly that Bannister is the murderer, robbe. and kidnapper.
