FARM HAND FREED
| IN KIDNAPPING CASE
Charge of Stealing Blanket
Filed, But Is Not Likely
to Be Pressed.
b. the ssociated Press.


MIDDLEBURY, VT, May 20
dered to shoot to kill, hunted Earl
Woodward as a kidnaper through the
quiet hillside of Addison County.
Today he was at liberty, and 11-year-
old Lucille Chatterton of Granville,
whom he was charged with kidnapping,
rejoiced with him in his freedom
The action which meant a new chap
ter in life for Woodward was taken
yesterday in the municipal court by
Judge Albert w. Dickens, who after
hearing testimony decided that the
prisoner should not be held for trial
before the county court in June, and
discharged him for lack of evidence -
States Attorney Bosworth then filed
a complaint charging Woodward with
the theft of a Blanket from a neighbor
of the girls father, but the $50 bail
set was at once supplied. and doubt
was expressed that the charge would
be pressed.
Woodward, who worked as a farm
hand for Walter Chatterton, Lucilles s
father, disappeared from Granville
with the girl on April pa. In a few
days the countryside was aroused
On May l police dog led the
searCherS to the man and girl in a
barn near East Brookfield. Wood
ward declared he had taken Lucille
away to give her proper schooling.
The girl corrohorating his story, said
he had treated her kindly. Last week
Woodward was tried and freed on a
charge of stealing Chatterton's rifle,
and yesterdays denouement ended
the story.
