OF George II. Coughlin jr.. was kid
naped mysteriously early to-day The
child was asleep in its crib in room
on the scond floor of the house, ad-
joining that of its parents The mother
was aroused by noise at a m. and
listened for time, but, hearing MOTH
ing further. went back to sleep.
Later she heard another noise and
aroused her husband, who investigated
and could not find the baby. A ladder
leaning against the nursery window in
dicated how the kidnapers had gained
access TO the room occupied by the
child. A screen had been removed from
the window Of the room.
Mr.. Coughlin is a Princeton gradu-

MY wife was awakened about .
o'clock by strange sound said Mr..
Coughlin. "She listened for time
came 20 the conclusion that nothing
was the matter and went back to sleep
again. Presently she heard another
unusual sound like cough or cry from
the baby and she woke me and asked
me TO look into the nursery to see if
everything was all right. went into
the room and found the crib empty.
1t was bright moonlight night
my first thought was that one of
my sons, who sleeps in the room across
the hall, had taken the baby. l looked
in there and found them both asleep.
I also went to the sleeping porch and
found nothing there. Then I ran down
stairs and went through the lower
rooms. By this time was thoroughly
alarmed. | rushed out the back door
and discovered the ladder leaning
against the nursery window
Il called TO Mrs. Coughlin and told
her TO get the police on the telephone
