KIDNAPPING CASE TDDAt
Was Heard at Recorder’s Court —
Prisoners Released, But There
Was Interesting Testimony,
Hill McDaniel and J. B Bowden were
Arraigned at the recorder’s court this
morning for preliminary trial on the
charge of kidnapping. Mayor Price pre
sided, as Judge Freeman was too unwell to
i>e present.
The charges preferrd against the two
men was that they had kidnapped Miss
Josie Braddy, daughter of Mr. J. B. Braddy,
at 757 Hawthorne street. They were ar
sworn out by Mr. Braddy, who says that
his daughter is only 15 years of age. The
prosecution was represented by Col. A.
W. Lane and Mr. Pope Polhill appeared
for the defense.
Miss Braddy was the first witness
BWern. She says that Mr. Hill was the
one that induced her to leave home at 2
•o’clock yesterday afternoon. She said that
she knew that Mr. McDniel was a married
man, and had children. She said that he
told her that if she would go to Sycamore,
Ala., that she would never want for any
thing. She left her home and met Mr. J.
B. Bowden, who is seventeen years of age,
and accompanied by him she went out on
the road to Crawford county, where they
met Gracie Pearce, who is an aunt of Mc-
Daniel. She says that Bowden left her
there, and she went to Gracie Pearce’s
house in a wagon. She further testified that
McDaniel told her that he would let her
know when he wanted her to go to Syca
more, and that he would send her money
to come on. She said she had never been
engaged to Bowden, but contradicted this
statement, and said that she had been en
gaged to him, but never expected to mar
ry him.
The statements of the young woman were
made in all earnestness, and she did not
seem to note any impropriety in living
with a married man, and stated emphat
ically three or four times that was the
reason why she left home. She said that
she had never had any improper relations
with McDaniel nor with Bowden. She said
that the ring which the defense claimed
was given as an engagement ring was
merely a gift from Bowden.
•Mr. Braddy, the father of the young
lady, was next introduced, and he said
that on Wednesday night when his daugh
ter did not return he went up to
McDaniel’s house, and asked him if he
would not go out to Manchester with him
and see if he could find his daughter. Mr.
Braddy stated that while they were sitting
on the railroad track he told McDan
iel his wife was the one who had made
the complaint at the mill, and requested
that Miss Braddy be removed from the de
partment in which her husband worked.
Mr. Braddy says that McDaniel told him
that he knew this, and that he was not
going to put up with it any longer, and
that as bis time at the mill was up Sat
urday evening he was going to leave
her and go where she would never know
where he was. McDaniel explained this
by saying that he told Mr. Braddy this
merely to keep him from suspieioning
where his daughter was.
The foreman of the mill where the‘young
woman worked said that he had moved
Miss Braddy from McDaniel's department
because they had talked too much togeth-

I er, and teat McDaniel's wile had made a
> complaint.
Bowden stated that McDaniel had noth
ing to do with the afliir besides intri duce
him to his aunt, but this statement cf Miss
Braddy leaq to the conclusion that Mc
i Daniel was playing a .-shrewd trick on all
| the parties concerned, and under the pre
tense of helpjng his friend, Bowden was
really planning to get dhe girl for him
self and desert his wife. He admitted that
he had made the statement that he was
going to leave iris wife, but said that this
was to keep Mr. Braddy from suspecting
I the real cause.
A large number of witnesses were in-
■ troduced end considerable testimony taken.
i After hearing all the evidence Mayor
Price dismissed McDaniel and Bowden, but
they will probably be arrested and carried
before Judge Ross.
Miss Braddy is a very handwine young
girl, and it seems that she has no scruples
in thwarting the wishes of her parents.
1 She was prevented from eloping with a
young fellow’ named Adams last year, and
her father requested Ordinary Wiley nor to
issue a license to anybody for her. Bow
den says this 1* the reason why he want
ed her to get cut of the epunty, and that
he intended to carry her Sunday after
noon.
