Though there were many people on the street st the time, not a policeman was in sight, and the frantic outcries of two young who followed the ali women buggy two blocks ss fast as they could run produced was a look of ment blank amaze- on the faces of the onlookers. In 2 the child from its nurse's arms L twist- her let go and then inside the door- thrusting her savagel: way and closing it in her object was accomplished. Although she shrieked loudly, nobody came to her as- sistance. The ¢ stolen is the 19-months-old son of Charles Wiackelmann, a man well known in sporting circles. According to his version of the story, his wife deserted some time him last December. He took their little baby and pls the care of Mis. Behlow, a s Charles J. I ow of the m of L ebes & Co., who lives at 307 Fell street. About two moninhs ago the woman re- turned to her husband, and they stayed at the Lexington House, on Eddy street.

He was forced to wait for a few minutes and became so frantic with suspense that he rushed from the room with the exclamation that his wife was all | to blame for the baby’s being stolen and | that he would kill her on sight.
