I loved her and would have liked to keep her always.” Little Sophie was in court with her Parents, and her kidnappers in her res, Was an object of commiseration and love. “Papal” cried the little girl, “Don't fet her go. She didn't mean to do it.” Tho statute of the Penal Code under ‘Which the girl was held prescribes from » ten to fifty years’ imprisonnient, Before court opened the girl kidnapper told the reporters that while her occu- pation was that of a domestic she was of gentle birth. Both her parents, ehe aid, were dead and there was @ lan estate left to her by her mother, Her atep-parents would not assist her in her effort to recover this, she waid, and #he was helpless in the fight, being with- out funds, “But some day I wil) have money,” she said. “When T Uttle Bophte 1, could not resist taking hor in my arms. Ghe loved me, too, and gladly went with me to the moving picture show. Then she was quite willing to remain with me and I kept her home with me that night.

She could find no such Place as the address <'en and startea to walk back downtown, At One Hun- dred and Forty-fifth street and Eighth avenue she found Sophie and her sister playing. She eaid she fell in love with Uttle Svphie at rst sight and took her to @ moving picture show and then bought her some candy. She could not bear to part with the child and took her to the home of her stepfather, which she said on second thought, was at No. 116 Forsyth street. ‘When she explained how she got pos- session of the child her stepfather be- came very angry and wanted her to take it back ‘mmediately. She re- ceived permission to stay all night and the next morning left the house but did not take the child back. All day Tuesday she entertained Bophie with moving picture shows, candy and ice cream soda. Then she ought her a new frock, some new socks and had her hair cut. This ex. hausted her supply of money, the last ten cents going for a hair-cut. Again last night ene took the child to the home of her stepfather. On her promise to return it she was given car fare. She rode to One Hundred and Forty-fitth streot, placed the child in the vestibule and ran away.
