When Miss Katherine Laseh of Dan ielson refused to get into his car and ride to Putnam with him, James Cobb Of Yantic, 1t is alleged, used eaveman methods and forced the young woman into his automobile and drove off with her. Two state policemen from the Danielson barracks went b Hartford last Friday evening and brought the couple back with them. Cobb is now facing a charge of Kidnapping and is Tn the county jail at Brooklyn await ing a hearing, January 9th, as he was unable to furnish a bond of Si0,OOO.
 According to what has been learned of the affair, Cobb had been friendly with Miss Laseh and had presented her with a ring. Three months ago there came a coolness, at least on the young woman's part, and despite Cobbs importuning she would have nothing more to do with him.
 Last Friday afternoon as Miss Lasch and two companions were walk ing along the street in Danieson Cobb drew up in his automobile. He asked Miss Lasch to take ride to Putnam. She refused and, it is alleged, Cobb took her by the arm, forced her into the vehicle and drove away
 Cobb, clean cut young fellow. was arraigned in the town court of Kill ingly last Saturday. He plead not guilty to the kidnapping charge. In order to allow the accused a chance to retain counsel the case was continued until January 9th. When the amount of the bond was made known Cobb
