AIR OF MYSTERY IN CASE
OF COUGEAIN KIDNAPPING

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12-An
air of mystery surrounded the re-
moval late last night of Augusta
Pasquale, held in connection with
the kidnapping of Blakely CoughIin,
from his cell in the city hall here.
Authorities refused to discuss the
matter, and reports that he hao
been taken to be tried, would not be
confirmed. Local officials early to-
day refusedsto confirm or deny a re-'
port that he had been looked up
again at Central police station.
After being brought back from
Egg Harbor. where he was identf-
fed by Mrs. Foster. as the man she
saw conversing with a woman who
carried a small child at the station
there, few hours before his cap
ture August 2, Pasquale was taken
from his cell by state policemen
who drove away in an automobile.
First reports say he was taken to
Marontown. but the police there
deny this.
Since his confession several days
ago, when he told he was the writer
of letters signed the crank" and
which disclosed the whereabouts of
the child. had set the authorities on
the jump. but none have led to any
results.
Pasquale claims that person
named Joe" and his wife were the
actual abductors. Investigation of
these statements found same untrue.
Some officials believe there is no
such person as Joe" and that Pas
quale was the abductor, as well as
the man who got $4,000 from
George H. Coughlin. father of the
child as ransom for his return.

The allegations recently made
that Mr.. Kramer was not sane and
that his normal mentality, at the

dethroned will be controverted if
necessary by evidence of innumer-
able friends and relatives who dur

had intimate knowledge of the de-
ceased's circumstances, Mr.. Klein
claims.
He also states that the law is well
settled in this state that while the
will, to others not having the means
of knowing what the testator knows,
not occupying his standpoint, not
having lived his life, not having his
secret affections and hates. may
seem unreasonable, injudicious and
even unjust is no reason that it
should be declared the product of a
mind. A testator has right
to make an unreasonable. unjust and

THE unfortunate life which the
deceased lived for more than fifteen
years was not caused by fanatic i'm

real or fictitious reasons. That his
feelings were inspired by lamentable
but nevertheless real reasons, will be
proven by that circle of people of
which he was part" Attorney
Klein says.
