Tells of Alleged Kid

Two colored men were under arrest
today as suspects in investigation OF
an attack on Elsie James, 10, Of 1904
Shelby St., Sunday. The men are
charged with vagrancy.
While on her way to get a bucket
of water at p. m. Sunday. the girl
says she was kidnapped by two colored
men, placed in large maroon-colored
automobile, driven about, and put out
of the car at Delaware and South
SITS. Frank Moore, 523 S. Delaware
ST., found the child crying. He tele-
phoned police. Lieutenant Johnson
and two squads investigated.
Miss James said her father, Frank
James, who operates a hand laundry
at his home, sent her for water. She
went into the coal yard of William

home. Two colored men were at the
well. They said they were getting
water to fill their automobile radiator.
She said the men placed a black
rag over her mouth and carried her
to an automobile parked in Beecher

men drove north through an alley.

I like this picture because tie di-

the right dramatic value to certain
