FATHER CHARGES
KIDNAPPING OF
CHILD DANCER

After swearing out warrant
charging kidnapping, George H. Da-
wilson, 8 IL North Forsyth street,
Davidson, an accomplished child
dancer, left Atlanta for Birmingham,
where the little girl was supposed
to have gone Tuesday afternoon.
The warrant was for the arrest
of George Karr, of 335 Angler ave-
nue.. Mr.. and Mrs. Davidson appear
ed to blame both Karr and his wife
for 'estranging" the child; and the
idea put forward by Mr.. Davidson
was that his daughter had been lured
from her home by prospects of a
''stage career"
Mr.. Davidson was informed early
Wednesday morning that Elaine had
been located in Birmingham by the
police there. She was alone at the
Terminal station Tuesday afternoon,
and when questioned by station en-
ployes said she was going to Bir-
lningham by herself, and was to meet
her mother there.
At noon Wednesday Kari had not
teen found. Mrs. Davidson said she
in Atlanta Tuesday afternoon and
evening.
Mrs. Davidson said the families
have been acquainted for about a
year and that for the last eight
months the Karrs had persistently
attempted to win" Elaine, several
times taking her out of school and
keeping her, at their home.
Mrs. Davidson said that Elaine
went to school Tuesday morning as
usual-the Walker Street school
and later went or was taken to the
Kari home where her clothing was
changed. She said Mr.. Davidson
found the child's clothing, worn that
morning, at the Karr home.
When the child did not return home
after school hours, her parents be-
gan to make inquiries, and reported
to the police, who had heard from
an employe at the Brookwood sta
ton that little girl had been there
alone to take the train to Birming-
ham and had been directed by him
to the Terminal station, as the train
left from there. The police did not
get this report until after the train
had left.
The child attracted attention by
crying at the Terminal station. and
she told employees that she must
catch the next train for Birmingham,
when they sought to detain her until
they could investigate. She said her
mother was going to meet her ION
that train"
Karr is described as being twenty
nine years old and looking older;
ing a checked suit when last seen.

Huge Bulk Of Drugs
Seized in u. S. Raids
