BRIDE OF, FEW !. DAYS KIDNAPPED FROM HUSBAND Beautiful Amsterdam Girl Stolen From Groom After
 Elopement PARENTS DEFY POLICE PRIEST AND SPOUSE Detective Routed From Bar ricaded House With Cane
 By Irate Woman.

The home of pr. B. L. Smykowski, 405 Barnum avenue is today in state of siege. It is the stronghold of a beautiful girl, the wife of George Schlosky, a resident of Amsterdam, N. Y.. it is alleged she was Kidnapped by her mother following a justice of the peace marriage in that city, and was able to send word to her husband of her Imprisonment by means of a letter written on the bottom of a shoe box, addressed and hurled from the window Picked up by a passerby the mtssive was properly mailed and brought by the irate husband to this city today
 When accompanied by Detective Sergeant Edward Cronin to the house today Sch1osky was met by an irate woman with a, cane who not only threatened him with chastisenent before the officer, but threatened to shoot him if he made further effort to take his wife from the house. So furious was the onslaught that Detective Cronfn. one of the most ex- perienced members of the police de partment was compelled to retire un- 1 til armed with a warrant permitting him entrance to the building. It was later found that the telephone connections had been disconnected and that the windows and doors of 1 the house were barricaded against assault. Even Rev. Fr. AIphpnse M. lFegIeWski, O. M. P. of St. Michae1's Polish church was unable to make any impression upon the firm de- cision of the girls guardians to keep her from the youth, though he con sented to marry them in the Catholic faith if brought before him. The tale as told by the disconso1ate groom is a wierd one and shows the tribulations of true love that never l runs smooth. SchIoslxy young medical student at Bellevue hospital, New York, lives in Amsterdam, ". Y. 1 Seven weeks ago he became acquair1t- ed with the 1S-year-oId girl who also | lives in Amsterdam, and is a sister in-law of pr. Smykowslki of this city. I The couple were secretly married be- I fore justice of the peace in Amster- dam. as he proved to the police to- I day.. It was decided after the cere- l mony that they should each part and l at ohce notify their parents of their act. He received no word from his 1 bride and calling at the house found it barred to his entrance.
 Day before yesterday he received a letter in which was a piece of shoe box on which had been written in pencil. .tsI am held prisoner at 405 Barnum avenue, Bridgeport. Come and get me-
 Sch1osky came and at once showed his evidence to the police. When I Schlosky and Detective Cronan reach before second story window She l waved at her husband and the next instant was pulled from the window. I After a long wait at the door, an irate woman opened it and waved the cane at the officer and his protege. f Dire vengeance with threats of shoot ing Schlosky on sight followed and the pair retired to the office of Prose Sl cutor Alexander Delaney, where the case was laid before him. The prose cutor stated that the case was 2 civil one and that SchloskyeS wife should 4 exert her right to join her husband, 1 or that civil process should be re- sorted to.
 An appeal to Fr. Feglewslz1. re- suited in his failure to get in com
 munication with those detaining the girl, though he promised to marry the couple if Schlosky could get her from the house.
 The young medical student stated to reporters today that he believed tthe girls mother was, incensed over been the intention of the family to
 marry her to a rich physician in New York.
 Dr. smykowski when located out IE side of his house stated today that the young woman whose maiden name
 
 without the consent of her mother T and after the marriage had been pre- walled upon to part. She stated to- day to pr. Smykowski that she did | not want to see her husband. The 1 local doctor expressed the belief that the young mans action in town had been carried to the full extent in or der to embarrass him.
 s.As regards my wife threatening to use physical violence upon the hus- band and off1cer,'' said Dr. Srnykowski .I can say this. My wife did not 1 know that an officer of the law was present and Schlosky used such abusive language that she was com i pel1ed to threaten him with punish
 ment if he persisted in his attacks lupon the house."
 Rev. F'r. Feglewslzi, when appealed to by reporters later today to tell what he knew of the case said: This is a very delicate matter, and [ shall
 have nothing to do with it. I looked
 into the case, but have now decided
 that I should not remarry them un-
 der any considerations
