Boy Mas Kidnapped and Taught Tricks of Criminals Had Six Years

New Orleans Aug. 1o.-ffanls 7eyd, or Charles MelsWorth, as he is supposed to be, d reputed eracksman. whose efforts, it is alleged i'll Arkan- sas and the upper portion of Louis- laha have been directed toward post- office safes, was arrested at IIam- mond, La, yesterday by Sheriff Seal and two postofffce inspectors. The arrest was brought about by 12-year- old Felix Holman, whom it is said he kidnapped i'll St. Louis six years ago and taught all the WAYS of crime.
 Today Heyd was broRght to this city and taken before United States Commissioner Ghiapeila, who held him ill 5000 bond for transportation to Arkansas, where he will be tried for robbing the postoffices at New Ed inburgi and Warren.
 The criminal record against lIeyd shows him to be dangerous yegg- man. Six years ago he kidnapped the Holman lad in St. Louis and has since instructed the lad in all sorts of crime. it is said The youth was employed as a lookout and spotter near the postoffiees that Heyd intend- cd robbins, the officials allege
 Boys Mother Gets Clue.
 Ever since the boys disappearance his mother in St. Louis has searched for him and finally learned that he was in the company of a band of postoffice burglars. She gave this in- formation to the government authorit- les and they got hold of the boy, who was taken to St. Louis and identified by his mother
 The boy was then instructed to go back to the gang and two government men followed him, arresting Heyd, whom the lad claimed to be the ring leader of the gang. Heyd showed fight and was knocked out by the gov ernment men before being captured. The boy has told all about the rob- berries ln Arkansas and other states and will not be prosecuted, but used as a government witness against Heyd, who will in all likelihood go back to Arkansas Friday.
 The government officials stated they would take Heyd to Arkansas for trial because the cases they had there were the strongest against him and they were certain of conviction.
