SH£ (B HE WMHED But Did Not Object to Going Off and Living With Him in Alabama. 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- BLACK. $3.50. $3.50 Lace Ka” W®. $3.00.

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. Notes Taken On the Run.
