STAMFORD WOMAN
 FLIES WITH CHILD
Mrs. Venable Believes Kidnappers
 Are Seeking Daughter

Stamford, Aug. S.-Fearing that efforts were being made to kidnap her little daughter, Mrs. Marion Ven- able, daughter of Henry K. McHarg, has fled with the child from her home here, to seek refuge where the child will be safe The flight followed what were believed to be several efforts made to get the daughter Marion, who is six years old.
 Miss Marion McHarg and Paymas ter George R. Venable. U. S. N., then stationed at Portsmouth, N. H.. were married seven years ago in the big McHarg home, on Strawberry Hill here. It was one of the events of that society season. At that time it was understood that MT. McHarg, who had been a director in the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and in numerous banks and other corporations, had settled $l,000,- 900 upon his daughter.
 A few years later the couple parted and about a year ago Mrs. Venable obtained divorce on the allegation of cruelty. Paymaste Venable did not contest the action. Soon after MT. McHarg made an allowance of $15,- 900 year for his daughter.
 Mrs. Venable had purchased a large piece of property in North Stamford and was developing it as country estate. She and the child and several servants lived in a large bungalow she had built, and in the\ outbuildinEs lived John Brophy, chief gardener and several of his assistants.
 One night about ten days ago Brophy found a stranger prowling about the grounds near the residence and stopped him. The man either
