A Servant Girl of the Pamily One of the Conspirators—Ransomed After Being Held Thirty Hours—Two of the \bductors Arrested. A Chitd Kidna; City, Mo., ov. 27.—The rd son of Da T. Beals, st and president of the Union national bank, was kidnaped last night between the hours of 7 and 7:30 o'clock. The abductor was a woman and the plans of herself and the conspirators with whom she was certainly allied were singularly well laid. ‘The woman gave the name of Lizzie Smith and was employed as a housemaid at the Beals residence, corner of Wabash and Inde- pendence avenues. She is supposed to be in conspiracy with aman going by the name of King. Ransomed—Arreats. Kansas Ciry, Ma, Nov. 2&8—-At 16 o’clock last night, thirty hours after his abduction, little David T. Beala Jr., was returned to the home of his par- ents and the ransom of $5,000 paid. The beginning of the end was at8 o'clock yesterday afternoon when a strange man pre- sented himself at the residence of Mr. Beals and requested an interview with that gentieman There was nothing remarkable in this It wae a thing that had been going on all day. Notes, mes- sengers, special de- livery letters and private detectives by the dozen came to the house, and the one inquiry was concern- ing the reward offered, and whether or not the conditions cf the reward would be carried out faith- fully. This inquiry was based upon e notice published on the windows of the Union National bank and elsewhere in conspicuous places to the effect that $5,000 reward would be paid for the re- covery of the boy and no questions asked. It was in relation to this latter clause that most of the inquiries were made, and particulariy did the stranger dwell upon this in his interview with Mr. Beals yesterday afternoon The man was told that the offer was made in good faith and that ite conditions would be sacredly observed. At 10 o'clock a man was heard to as- cend the stone steps of the resilence. One short, sharp peal from the elec- tric bell and then a was heard thesound of a child's voice. Instantly the door was thrown open, wide back to give ingress to so wel come a guett; wel come then, however> black his crime,” and with the step of a soldier and the / INANSAS LIZZIE SMITH. assurance of a ben- efactor, the new- comer strode across the threshold, back through the small hall, into the main hall and deposited in the arms of the almost fainting mother her boy. Not a word was spoken. A gasp from the father, an exclamation of unutter- able astonishment, pleasure, pain and gratitude from the mother was all that served to break the stillness of the night. , One part of the contract was fulfilled —the child was restored—another part remained to be carried out’ The ran- some was to be paid. It was quickly done. As soon as his arms were re lieved of their precious burden they were extended for the reward. Then for the first time was the man’s face seen. It was the same man who had consulted with Mr. Beals during the afternoon. The reward was paid. Five thousand dollars in notes were handed the man. Subsequently “Lizzie Smith,” the servant who disappeared at the time of the abduction, and Albert King, the man who rented the house near the Beals residence, were located and ar- rested by the police. They proved to , be crooks passing for man and wife. ALBERT KING. Fonseca’s Farewell VaLraraiso, Chili, Nov. 28 —Advices from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, state that Fonseca, besides abdicating the dicta- : torship, has renounced hie title of com- mander-in-chief and retired to private life. The papers are, however, de- manding the impeachment of Fonseca and also of his ministers on the ground that they are responsible for the moneys spent during the short-lived dictator- ship. The governors of all the states have proclaimed in favor of the new ‘ president, Peixoto It is rumored that the federal capital will be removed from Rio de Janeiro to Nictheroy.
