sees TWO W DESCRIPTION OF THE KIDNAPPER. Here ts the description of the kidnapper of little Kathleen Flanagan, as given by Sister Aloysias, who beltewes she saw him and the litle child a few moments after he stole it: Appearance—Rough. Mustache—Light brown. Age--About thirty. Clothes—Of brownish hue and well worn; double- breasted square-cut coat. (Continued from First Page.) with a dark) mustache and sallow skin. He wore dark clothing, I would know him again for certain, because I had seen him several times before.” The other person who saw a young man answering this same description leading a little girl along tho street in this same neighborhood about the same time was Sister Aloysius, of the Con- vent of the Sisters of the Goo! Heart, One Hundred and Thirtleth streeteand ‘Townsend avenue, She says that she was walking along | the river front toward the convent from One Hundred and Fortieth street Satur- day afternoon when she met a man leading a little child, a girl of about four years. Phe sister remembers distinctly that the child wore a green Tam o' Shanter, and this fact would indicate that the child was Kathleen Flanagan. Sister Aloysius recalls having seen the man and the girl because at the time she noted what a rough-looking man he wa: to have charge of such a clean and neatly clothed child, It ran through her mind at the time that the man had evi- dently found the little one somewhere and that it was lost and he knew where its home was and he was taking it there with a possible hope of recelving a small reward. _ She remembers that in a general way the man's clothes were of a brown hue and were full of wrinkles, She thinks also that the coat was a double-breasted one of square cut, ‘ He had a light-brown mustache, she thinks, and was about thirty years old. SOOTHED THE CHILD. Bhe remembers hearing the man, as she passed them, soothingly assuring the child that she would soon be home with her mother. As no other child in the neighborhood is known to have had a green Tam 0° Shanter, and as it was a rather unsea- sonable head dress, it is not believed that any other child was wearing such a hat. Capt. Hogan, of the West One Hun- dred and Twenty-fifth Street Police Sta- tion, has all of his detectives, with a number of men from Headquarters, working on the case. — HOPE TO FIND THE mt GIRL IN NEW JERSEY. Detectives Darcey and Holden, of the Went One Hundred and Twen- ty-ffth street station, crossed the One Hunlired and Twenty-ninth street ferry to New Jerscy this af- ternoon in company with Mr. Flanagan in the hope that aome trace of the child could be found pn that side of the river. | *° ‘Inquiry at the ¢erry-house failed to turn up any gne who remembered a man leading a child of the description ‘of Kathleen on the afternoon of her disappearance. This was not consider- ed surprising, however, owing to the \ af Ny ig rush qver the ferry at that time in the q day. * ‘The man seen by Reade probably got out o {the city as quickly as he could and the Fort (ee ferry would be the most natural route for him to take. Lhe detectives did not determine to scour New Jersey until they had, aban- doned their belief that Kathlcen's body was at the bottom of the river some- where near the pler. Employees of the Dock Department under Assistant Dock- master Farrell grappled for the body all morning without success, They were sted by the father and a number of his friends. Every foot of the river's bed any- where near the pler was searched and no body was found. At the father’s sug- gestion it was then determined to go over to Edgewater and other places in Jersey to look for the child. ———_ POLICE TO FIND THE LETTER WRITER. 1 The letter demanding §5,000 ran- som and threatening death for little Kathleen Flanagan was received by the child’s distracted father at his home, No. 2576 Bighth avenue, and by him turned over to the police. They will try to find the writer.

Little Tommy Flanagan, ten years cold, is the oldest of the Flanagan children, and he was with the party when Kathleen was missed. BY TOMMY FLANAGAN. “The last I remember of seeing Katie was about five minutes before papa said she had been stolen. She was standing on the pier with a lot of men who were fishing, and she was throwing pebbles into the water. FLANAGAN. for whose ransom $8,000. is ask ed, ‘to the water, and Katie would throw at it “There were lots of people around and she could not have fallen in without being seen or head. But Katie was so small that a man could have carried her off under his coat. And she was so pretty that I don't wonder thr. people wanted to steal her. But they better bring her back, or we'll—we'll"—and Tommy, a re- markably bright little fellow himself, broke out crying. —————— CHILD COULD NOT HAVE FALLEN OFF THE PIER. The crew of the steam yacht Ameri- can, whieh Is moored by the recreation pier, said to-day that they were sure that no child fell off the pier on Satur- day. They said that there were three or four men on the deck of the yacht all afternoon and that certainly they, or some of the persons on the deck, would have seen the child had she fallen off. ‘The story told by little Margaret Dal- ton, of No, 2207 Fifth avenue, that she saw Kathleen follow a May day parade The fishermen would say: “There's a fish, hit it,’ pointing of negro children down Fifth avenue about 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon \s SUITS HOLD UP NEW ‘PHONE DIRECTORY.
