ENGAGED WOMAN At pADUCAH

lie Station.
THEN SENSATION DEVELOPED

Dlackford, Ky, March 3O.-A
wee baby girl. apparently about a
month old, left in the railroad sta
ton at Blackford, brought out a
most unusual story Of the love of
mother for her child, and how she
sought 10 cover up the circum-
stances Of the birth Of the baby by
a unique plan.
Tuesday morning Miss Maude
Tudor, pretty school teacher, and
her younger sister were seated in
the railroad depot. When the morn
ing train stopped, ? neatly dressed
woman with dark hair, wearing a
blue dress and tan shoes, rushed
into the station. She carried a
small baby wrapped in a bundle of
clothes. She stepped up to the
younger Miss Tudor, and inquired
If she would hold the baby for a
few minutes. The girl did so, and
then the woman quickly boarded
the train and was gone.
After the train departed the two
girls retained the baby. Miss Tu-
dor expressed sympathy for the
child, and it is said expressed a de-
sire to adopt it. Marshal Leitch-
field secured a description of the
woman, and wired to Sturgis to
place her under arrest At Sturgis
she was taken from the train, and
on the afternoon train was carried
back to Blackford.
The officers believed that it was
only a case of a mother deserving
her baby, which is done frequently.
However, when the woman reached
Blackford she told a most unusual
story. She gave her name as Mrs.
Ashby, of Paducah. According to
her story, Miss Tudor came to Pa
ducah where the baby girl was born
on the night of February 8. Mrs
Ashby said that she kept the baby,
but Miss Tudor wanted the girl. In
order that she might obtain pos
session of the child without telling
the real story, it was agreed for
Mrs. Ashby to leave the child with
Miss Tudors sister, with whom ar
rangements had been made to be at
the station with Miss Tudor. After
giving Mrs. Ashby an opportunity to
escape, Miss Tudor was to tell the
story of the child being deserted by
the mother, and to adopt it.
The story of Mrs. Ashby was cor
roborated by letters, which contain
ed the instructions for her to bring
the baby 10 Blackford. The officers
then accostcdMiss Tudor, who broke
down and acknowledged the story.
She accused a man residing in I'm
iontown as being the father of the
baby. After hearing the stories of
both women, Mrs. Ashby was re-
leased and permitted to return to
her home.
Miss Tudor is twenty-three years
old, and for several years has been
employed as a school teacher near
Blackford. She has always been
highly respected. Miss Tudor's pa
rents reside at Wheatcroft, where
she went yesterday. She has pos
session of the baby girl.
