Reported.

Bennington, Aug. S.--What was al
first reported to have been an attempt
ed kidnapping at Old Bennington or
Saturday afternoon now turns out to
have been the irresponsible act Of an
apparently demented Italian, Joseph
Nappa, who has lived here for a mum
Der of years. Early in the afternoon
Kappa visited "The Orchards" the
summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
H. Everett, and was observed by sew
eral persons visiting with his country
men, a number of whom are employed
on the property as gardeners.
How he managed to enter the house
Unseen is mystery, but the employees
were thrown into state of panic when
the man appeared at the servants en-
trance with Mr.. Everett's six-month-
old daughter in his arms.
Ii later developed that he had taken
the baby from the nursery, where she
had been left asleep and had made his
way from the house unseen.
When asked why he was in the house
Nappa explained that he had been
sent to take the child to ben Venue"
the summer residence of James G.. Col
gate of New York, which adjoins The
Orchids. In further explanation he
said "You know, | married Mr.. Col
gates daughter
He talked in rambling manner and
apparently had no comprehension of
the seriousness of his action. An Of
ieer was summoned by telephone and
the man was put under arrest.
last week Nappa appropriated an
automobile left standing on Main
street, and, with a driver whom he had
engaged to give him instructions in
operating car, rode about the viii
lage for more than two hours before
the owner of the car discovered his
loss and caused Nappa's arrest. After
being in Jail over night the man was
examined by a physician, who pro-
nounced him harmless and he was re
leased
