WEALTHY ENGLISHMAN
AND WIFE ARRESTED
In Paris on Charge of III Treatment of
Adopted Children.

Paris, Feb. 2S.-Intense interest has
been aroused in Paris by the arrest at
Asnieres, suourb, OF an Englishman
named Sargent and his wife, who is
said to be an American. belonging to
a wealthy family. on the charge Of
gross i'll treatment of four children
whom they adopted. The police state
that the couple had been in the habit
of inserting advertisements in English
and Belgian newspapers offering to
adopt children for money considera-
tion. The servants employed by Sar-
gent and his wife allege that the wom-
an was guilty Of grea- cruelty.
The English and American colonies
are particularly wrought up over the
affair. It is stated that the last child
adopted by the couple was a blind
baby of a maid servant born in Holy
Trinity lodge, a we'll known institu-
tion-in the Latin quarter. 1t was hand
ed over to Mrs. Sargent by the direc-
tress Of the lodge after careful In
auiries into an advertisement which.
appearing in an English paper. seemed
to establish the. good repute of the
SargenIs.
