KIDNAPPED BY
LOVER SAYS
CITY WOMAN
Forced in Auto at Point of
Gun, She Says; Ohio
Man in Jail.

Clarence r. Dooley, 33year-old
Steeplejack from Dayton, O., pom
dered in a Jail cell today the i'm
petuous overture" he made yester-
day to 28-year-old indianapolis
married woman he told police he
couldn't live without"
He is held under $500 bond
pending trial on a felony charge,
and is accused of having entered the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Snyder, 625 E. 22d-St yesterday aft
ernoon, brandishing a large, Ger
man-made revolver.
He approached Mrs. Ann Book
walter, the object of his affections,
she said today, and threatened to
kill Mrs. Snyder, her sister, and the
two small Snyder children if Mrs.
Bookwalter did not accompany him
in his car.
Clad Only in Pajamas
Although she was clad only in
yellow pajamas, Mrs BookWalter
said she went with him at the point
of the gun, and entered the car. He
drove, she said, with one hand,
keeping the gun pointed at her with
the other and threatening TO kill
her if she tried to get out.
He drove downtown, around the
Indiana War Memorial, and back
to the 22d-st address, Mrs. Book
walter said, where he was arrested
by policemen who had been sum-
moned by the Snyders. He surren-
dered without resistance.
Although Dooley told a version of
the adventure that was compare
lively calm, claiming that he had
not drawn the gun and would under
no circumstances have harmed any
one in the Snyder home, police
asked for high bond and Municipal
Judge Dewey Myers this morning
set it at $500.
LOve-Life Complicated
The case was continued until
Sept. 4. The love-life of Dooley was
complicated further this morning
when Miss Katharine Mueller of 814
N. Meridian-st, volunteered to po-
lice that Dooley had been engaged
to marry her last October.
At that time, she said, she Dor
rowed $50 for incidental marriage
expenses and turned it over to
Dooley. She said he then disap-
peared.
Mrs. Bookwalter is married to
but separated from Alton P. Book
walter, 513 S. Drexel-av. She said
she had known Dooley for several
years.
