 ing Mae Leonard.
COULDN'T MAKE BOND
But Paid Officer to Sit Up Win Him HatrimOnial Tamglc
 Hard to Solve.

l. r. Long, local attorney, was arrested last. night by Deputy Con stable D. w. HignEotham on a charge of abductine Miss Mae Leonard, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs A. Leonard, of Seventh avenue and Mi sssippi street the same girl who married Horace BObbitt, q notorious young white man, of this city, and who later employed Long to obtain divorce for her. Long, who was magistrate performed the ceremony that united the two, despite the objections of the girls parents
 Mir. and Mrs. Leonard appeared at the office of Magistrate J. A. Frazier early last evening. They declared that Long had enticed the girl from home and asked for a warrant on D charge of abduction The warrant was issued and duplicates placed in the hands of several deputies and about 9:30 o'clock Deputy Higinboth- am located the attorney in the White Way pool hall on West Second avenue.
 Longs efforts to make a $500 bond, fixed by the magistrate, were fruit less. Sheriff Edgar Brewster refused to approve bond signed by another attorney before the latter was re- qussted by Long to go security. Ac- compahied by ftiginhotham, Long went to the home of Dr. R. c Thompson, but Dr. Thompson refused to go se- eurity. AS last resort and to avoid the humiliation of being placed in the county jail until the hearing today Long offered Deputy Constable Higin- botham $5 to sit up with him all night and the officer accepted.
 Influenced the Girl.
 According to the story told by MT and Mrs. Leonard to Magistrate FraZ- iere, Long has persuaded the girl to leave home. They said she had not been home ito dinner nor supper Tuesday and were confident that the lawyer had induced the girl to stay away from the parental roof. Magls- trate Frazier said the girls father was considerably wrought up over the affair and repeatedly threatened to kill Long on sight. Leonard began a search for his daughter after the girl had failed to show up at dinner It seems that he did not know Long but found his photograph in his daughters suit case. Armed with this means of identification he began a search for the original and found him shortly before o'clock in his of- flee over R. S. Thompson and Sons hardware store on West Second ave- nue. He warned Long, it is said, to leave his daughter alone and the at torney agreed not to speak to her again. The girl, according to hep fathers story, has been working at the telephone office and he alleges that Long has induced her to quit her position.
 Long appeared surprised when he accompanied the deputy to the mag istrate's fofice. He said he had seen the girl during the afternoon and told her to go home but she was waiting for friends and said she would re- main in his office. Later her friends appeared and she went away with them. She was at the office before her father appeared. Long admits that, Leonard called on him and re- uuested that he cease paying the girl attentions. The lawyer acquiesced, he said, and fully intended not to rec ognize the girl if he met her. Miss Leonard for a time was employed as stenographer in Longs office, but re- signed to go to Fort Smith for a visit with relatives Upon her return, ac- cording to Long, she repeatedly call ed at his office and he told her he thought it best not to come there as he had heard her parents objected to it.
 Girl is Missing.
 Long denied that he had seen the l girl after he talked with her father Ifand supposed she had gone to the home E of her girl friend for the night. He expresse dthe hope that Miss Leonard . would return to her home during the
