( f 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. GEN. M’ARTHUR DIES SUDDENLY. RECALL ING ATLANTA CAMPAIGN MILWAUKEE.
