ANOTHER KIDNAPPING
 OCCURS IN CALIFORNIA

San Bernardino, Cal, Dec. 20, (A) With eleven year old Evelyn Smith, the victim of California's s second sensational kidnapping with in two weeks. safe in the hands of the San Bernardino police officers, another search is under way thru out Southern California for the ac- cused abductor. Ernest Arthur Nc Lelland, a paroled convict.
 The discovery of the small girl at the home of Mrs. Emma J. Spen- ce, near here, last night, revealed that she has been there since Mon day. Evelyn told the police that McLelland attempted to assault her. Mrs. Spence's first knowledge of the kidnapping came when she read it in the newspapers. At that time both the girl and McLelland denied the Kidnapping, and stuck to the story that she was his sister. whom he was taking to visit their mother. The fear that the kidnapper would carry out his threats made during the trip south kept the girl silent.
 When confronted by the news paper accounts, McLelland left inn mediately, saying he would go and '.straighten this thing out," but he never returned.
