Ottawa. Kas.. Sept. 22-The Rev.
Wallace M. Stuckey, his right wrist
shackled to that of Sheriff Latimer,
reached here at noon today. With him
was Miss Lorena Sutherland, the 16-
year-old girl he is accused of abduct-
Ing. A jostling, pushing, shouting
crowd of thousands, that filled the de-
pot platform and railroad yards, was
awaiting the train.
AS the sheriff and Stuckey got off
the train, followed by the girl in blue,
a great cry went up. There they are"
Clasped In Mothers Arms.
The sheriff hustled the two into q
motor car and away they went in y
cloud Of dust. The crowd followed on
the run, but before they got to the
jail Stuckey was locked in a cell, and
Miss Sutherland was in an inner
room clasped in the arms of her
mother, who had come from Williams
burg to meet her here.
On the train from Kansas City to
Ottawa Miss Sutherland sat by win
dow and Stuckey. his wrists hand
cuffed together, sat in the seat right
behind her. Miss Sutherland has an
attractive face, with large blue eyes.
She will be II next January, but she
appears younger than that, and her
mannerisms and her views of life are
childish. When she left home to meet
Stuckey In Chicago her hair was
black, now it is yellow.
II bleached it myself" she said
with laugh.
"How did you do IT."
With peroxide, just poured It on
and made is sopping wet and then
stood out in the sun. 1t changed color
In two hours" :
when did you learn that?"
"He" Told Ne How.
Nov, where do you suppose? He
told me how, of course"
Miss Sutherland denies that she
ever had any intention of becoming an
actress. She declares that she was
not abducted or enticed from her
home and that she will stand loyalty
by her pastor. Mr.. Stuckey, with
whom she was arrested in Waukegan.
Ill.
Indeed, am just as guilty as he.
I am as much in the wrong as he and
shall take my share of 1t. He asked
me to go away with him because he
loved me and l am not going to turn
on him now. II they think am going
to help send him to prison they are
mistaken. because shall never testi-
Efy against him. If they force me to
testify l will tell the truth. and that
is that I wanted to go with him."
Il just want him to go his way and
l will go mine. He can live it down
and SO can I. and what's the use of
Furnishing him? He is not to blame.
He did not love his wife. he loved me,
and it's natural that he'd want me
with him.
Does he love you now!" she was
asked.
"Sure. he does.''
How do you Anow?"
"Oh. know it."
"Has he told you so since he was
arrested?"
No Words are Necessary.
mo, he didn't have to. can tell.
When I look at him he looks SO sad.
and I am sorry for him."
Several times on the train this fore
noon Stuckey and the girl spoke to
each other. Once he leaned forward
and asked her tenderly:
els the sun too hot? Shall 1 pull
down the blinds?"
She laughed and helped him lower
the blind. Again. he assisted her in
adjusting her car seat.
Don't blame him. It takes two to
make bargain, and was willing to
go with him." she said.
"Why did you go; did you love
him?"
Eyes. loved him. but that was not
all. wanted to be singer and elo-
cutionist like Beulah Green Of Home-
wood and Bartha Clark of Ottawa.
They go around on the Lyceum circuit
and to Chautauquas and have lovely
time, and wanted to do that. 1 have
a talent for 1t, but my folks are poor
and couldn't send me. They said I
must work and earn enough money to
pay my way. Mr.. Stuckey told me I
could learn It with him. He said 7
could see the world, and SO went. |"
Didn't you stop to think that he
was leaving his wife and children, one
a little girl z years old. Weren't you
sorry for them?" H11
Only Pity for Herself.
'No," she answered. with a petu-
liant pouting of her lips. II don't
feel sorry for them, only feel sorry
for myself and him and my own folks.
His wife wasn't good to him. and she
tried to turn his own children against
him. I don't blame him for leaving
them"
WAS Stuckey good to you?" Y
"You bet he was. He was Just as
kind as he could be. only he was
