 Keeley, 23, demonstrator, living at the Waldorf Hotel, snatched her IT, months-old baby boy, George El- more, from the arms of her husband, J. J. Keeley, 36, living at Shreveport. La, who had earlier Kidnapped the child from the Memphis Founding Home, and who was a passen- ger on Cotton Belt train which left three minutes later on its trip south ward at $40 o'clock last night. The affair took place in the sight of a large number of passengers, who were so amazed for the time being that they were powerless to move from their seats.
 The rescue of the child occurred a little more than. two hours after the father had snatched him from the unwilling arms of Mrs. T. J. Mussel- man, matron at the Founding Home, 323 Trigg avenue, where his mother had left him six weeks ago until she could give him proper support. The location of Keeley and the child was due largely to the efforts of officers of the home, who posted pickets at every railroad station in the city. The day of tribulation for Mrs. ,eley, which reached it's grand eli at the train last night, had it's inning about 8 o'clock yesterday rning, when Keeley made his ap rance at her apartments at the .ldorf Hotel, Main street and Gay hA avenue, and renewed quarrel hSh had caused their separation in erA Bluff, Ark, last March. As ng,ntoes of her encounter with her iisudnd, Mrs. Keeley exhibited bad 1y discolored eye and number of ugly bruises on her arms last night. She declared to Commercial Appeal reporter that her husband was drunk when he called at her room and remained in that condition all of he day.
 keely Kidnaps Babe.
 At o'clock last night carriage rove up in front of the Founding ome, and Keeley, alighted and en- sred the home. He represented to NS Musselmann, the matron, it is said, that he had been sent for the baby by it's mother. The matron dis credited the story and informed the visitor that the child could not be removed from the home by any one other than it's mother, who had plac- ,led it there.
 Keeley insisted that he had receiv- ed permission from his wife to get the baby. and in support of his state ment invited Mrs. Musselmann to call Mrs. Keeley up by telephone. With the babe on her arms, Mrs. Mussel- mann turned to go to the telephone when Keely snatched it and ran with it to the carriage and was driven away before step could be taken to lpprehend him. The institution was nmediately thrown into state of ,itement, though the officers exer- ed considerable judgment in get supon the fleeing mans trail out the loss of an unnecessary ent.
