PHILADELPHIA, April 5.—A charge | of kidnaping against Curtis D. Devon- | shire, who took Alice Labutis, 12, in his automobile here on March 27 and drove her to Charlotte, N. C., was dropped yesterday at the recommnfiendation of the district attorney. Devonshire then was arraigned on a charge of enficln'i a minor and of false imprisonment and held in $10,000 bail. Mrs. Agnes Devonshire, wife of the fruoner attended the hearing and col- apsed during the taking of testimony. Alice, who appeared calm on the stand, testified that Devonshire had “treated me fine,” “acted like a gentle- man,” and did not harm her, - Another witness was a detective who went to Charlotte to bring Devonshire and the girl back to Philadelphia. On Wednesday of last week Devon- shire, a salesman, asked Alice to guide him to the new residence here of a former neighbor. She entered his auto- mobile and did not return home that night. They were found at Charlotte the next Priday morning. s e e Alaska license plates are 3 inches deep and 6 inches long. Blaze.
