CHARGED With
KIDNAPPING GIRL
Cuban is in Jail At Greenville
On Serious
Charges.

The Muhlenberg Argus, of Central
City, says:
Andrew Knight, a Cuban who has
| been at work for some time on n farm
| near Paradise, is in Jail at Greenville
charged with kidnapping VERNE Rob-
inson, the Il year old daughter of
Grant Robinson, near Paradise.
Knight was arrested in Evansville on
information furnished by Chief Lang
ley, of this city.
Last Saturday night Robinson called
Chief Langley by telephone and told
him that his daughter was missing.
Officer Langley at once busted him
self with the case, and found that the
girl had boarded boat at Rockport
with Andrew Knight lie then tele-
poned Evansville to apprehend the
pair, and they were arrested at the
wharf when their boat pulled in. Rob
inson went after the girl and brought
her back, while the Evansville police
brought Knight.
The story told by the girl is re-
markable. She says that knight and
another man came to her house and
called her out, telling her that her
father wanted to see her. When she
stepped outside the door she says a
pistol was pointed at her head and
her life was threatened If she did not
go with the men. a shawl was
thrown around her and she went with
them, boarding a boat at Rockport
about o'clock at night. They did no
leave their stateroom, according TO
the information given the local au-
thorities, until they reached Evans
VILE.
Robinson claims that his daughter
is only II years old and she does not
look any older. If she is under 16
charge more serious than kidnapping
can be registered against the Cuban
and probably will be. In the mean
time he is held on that charge. lie
did not resist arrest and claims that
it was their expectation to get mar
ried in Evansville. The fact that the
girl was taken from one state to anoth-
err makes the offense double serious
and renders Knight liable to prosecu-
ton in Federal Court.
