Kane, supere visor of the academy, from a house in Baltimore where she was held cap- tive for several hours. Sister Cecilia, who was formerly Miss Marie Whalen of Verona, Penn,, is 10 a serious condition at the con- vent and has been ordered to remain in bed. According to a statement by Father Kane she is suffering from shock and a blow received on the head by unidentified persons. All of her religious garments were taken away from her, he said, and she is unable to give a detailed account of the kidnapping, because of her hys- terical condition. Occurred in Afternoon. According to Father Kane the kid- napping occurred between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. While Sister Cecilia was giving piano in- struction to a pupil, he said, she noticed a man and a woman stand- ing beside a closed automobile across the street from the convent. She be- came alarmed, he stated, as the couple acted mysteriously. An hour after the pupil had left the building and while she was sitting alone in the room, ‘'she noticed the woman peeping in through a rear window.

When she went to investigate, accord- ing te her story to Father Kane, the man struck her over the head, ren. dering her unconscious. Hhe sald she did not remember anything of what happened until she eame to several hours later in the Haltimore house, Grabbed Coat and Fled, When she recovered consciousness, Father Kane sald, she overheard sev- eral persons in an adjoining room talking ut her, Hhe told the su- periors rhut they spoke like foreign- ers, and were talking about a 3500 ransom, Beeing a coat and hat on the wall of the room, she grabbed them and ran out on the street, There she met & polieeman and without tell. ing him the story of the kidnapping, asked him to direct her to a taxicab stand in order that she might be able to return to Frederick, When told that the fare would be $20, she requested that the money be received from Father Kane, as she only had $11 with her, which she said was in the pocket of the coat she took from the house, On arriving at Frederick, she stumbled into the ves. tibule of the conveént where she faint ed, While not believing the taxicab driver, who gave his name as Stewart Cathkart of Baltimore, to be impli- cated in the kidnapping, Father Kane requested police to hold him “as a suspicious person and for question- ing." Father Kane said he could not ac- count for the attempt to kidnap the sister. “We are going to investigate this affair,” he said, “and will not be satisflied until we have apprehended all persons involved," Sister Cecilia could give Father Kané no idea of who her kidnappers were. S8he sald she had watched them In front of the building for more than an hour before she was Kid- napped, but was unable to give a proper description of either, Didn't Mention Kidnapping. Baltimore, Md,, Feb. 13.—Robert L. Osborne, the policeman whom §is- ter Cecilla of Frederick queried asto train or taxi service to that place, said today he did not notice anything strange when the Nun approached him. He said she told him of a “sick friend” in Frederick who needed her, and asked him'if he couldn't find some means of getting her there. The patrolman said he asked several taxi- cab drivers to accept her as a pas- senger, but when told that she did not have the required amount of money they refused. Finally he said, Stewart Cathcart, who is. being held by the Frederick police for question- ing, consented to drive her to that place. Sister Cecilia told Cathcart, Osborne said, to drive carefully and to pick out the smoother roads as she did not feel any too well. Osborne said the nun did not men- tion the kidnapping to him and he had no”reason to suspect there had been foul play. Became a Nun Last August. Pittsburgh, Pa., Fekb, 13.—Sister Cecilia, formerly Marie Whalen of Verona, a suburb of Pittsburgh, took up studies in the parochial school at Verona, and last August became a sister of Notre Dame.
