"Such talk is absurd. The total of

would not ’aggregate that amount.

CUSTODY OF CHILD WAS
AWARDED TO MOTHER
Husband Is Taken in Macon
After Long Chase Led by
Distracted Wife. /
- r
Defying' th? police and the courts
in a fight for his three-year-old son,
Rudolph Oetter, of No. 9 Nesbit street,
charged with kidnaping, was arrested
in Macon and brought to Atlanta to
day. He is held in the Tower otj a
criminal warrant sworn out by his
wife, who Is striving to recover the
child, which has vanished.
Oetter, facing the charge of kidnap
ing. and possibly one of contempt of
court, remained cool and firm. When
he was found in Macon after a long
hunt in which his wife took the lead,
the child, Theodore, a bright sturdy
youngster, was not with him. He re
fused to tell where he had left the
baby.
‘My little boy is in good hands,”'he
said. "1 mean to see that he stays
there.”
Says Mother Isn’t
One to Care for Child.
I All effort to learn the hiding place -
| from tlie father failed. He declared
I his wife was too fond of dancek and
I other amusement to be a proper guar
dian for the child. He said he had
[contributed more to its support than
required by court.
"I don’t see how a father can kidnap
his own son," lie added.
Oetter said that he had brought suit
for divorce; that his wife had brought
counter action, and that pending a set
tlement of the trouble Judge Pendle
ton had ruled that the child remain in
the custody of its mother, despite a
hard fight for the youngster made by
the father.
Several days ago the father visited
the child, in care of its mother, and
unde the pretense of buying him some
candy, spirited the boy away. Mrs
Oetter notified the police and at the
same time swore out a criminal war
rant.
She led th? hunt and learned that
her husband had gone to Macon. With
County Officer Jackson she hurried tc
that city, and they finally succeeded
in locating Oetter, but the child was
not with him He had evidently beer
notiffi'd in advance of their coming
Oetter said today the child is not ii "
Mat-on.
Mrs Oetter continued the search fol
the boy, but without success. She
urged tlie police to make her husband
reveal his whereabouts.
