 Interest in a case that has a certain local bearing has been revived through the capture of John E. Carey, a man who has been missing three yeafs, after jump ing $5.000 bond For his appearance in a New York court.
 His difficulties with the law are due to an allegation that he dnduIged in what has been termed the abduction of Mrs Helen c. Waterman, widow of Percy B. Waterman well known in Putnam, where the Watermans were residents for a num- Der of years.
 Carey is charged with having come to Mrs. Watermans apartments in New York late one night about three years ago and forcibly taking her out, clothed only in her night dress, placing her in a taxi and taking her to another apart ment.
 It is charged that when he pressed bright metal object against her side while attempting to get her out of her apart ments she believed that what carey held in his hand was revolver, but it after wards proved to be nothing more deadly than a nickeled instrument used in re- moving to1siIs
 Carey was manufacturer of surgical and dental instruments and reputedly wealthy.
 He was arrested following the escapade in which Mrs. Waterman alleges she un- willingly figured. gave bail in the amount of S5,oo0 for later appearance in court and within few days disappeared.
 His capture few days ago revives in- terest in the case, which is expected to come to trial in the not distant future.
 Mrs Waterman who Is of unusual beauty, is reported to be a resident of Boston at present. She was about 26 years of age at the time of the alleged in- cident in New York. while Carey is said to have been about 45, but appeared to be 10 years younger.
