Aroused by the recent actions of
her husband’s parents. Mrs. A. H.
Clark, mother of Augustus Hamilton
Clark, Jr., to-day changed front and
declared that, instead of withdraw
ing the prosecution against Mrs. G. S.
Clark, charged with kidnaping, she
will push it to the end.
Augustus Hamilton Clark, Jr., the
2-yea.r-old bone of contention, is now
at his mother’s home, 156 Richardson
Street, and his mother declared he
would stay there, in spite of all that
the child’s grandparents could do.
Willful slander on the part of her
husband’s parents and their refusal
to divulge the whereabouts of their
son so that his wife may have an un
derstanding with him are the reasons
given by Mrs. Clark for her new de
termination.
She Plans to Retaliate.
"I intend to push the kidnaping
charge Just as hard as 1 can," said
Mrs. Clark this morning. "I have not
been treated right In this matter at
all, and I intend to make those peo
ple suffer. My child’s grandparents
have given out statements to the
newspapers attacking my character
that are untrue In every respect.”
Mrs. Clark, against whom the in
dictment has been sworn out, still
maintains her belief that she had a
perfect right to take the child away,
and says, furthermore, that both her
son and her daughter-in-law con
sented to give her the child outright.
In talking of the case she displayed
a certificate signed by her son. Au
gustus H. Clark, before a notary pub
lic, vesting in her all His rights and
authority as father of the child,
certificate is as follows:
“March 28, 1913.
"To Whom It May Concern:
“This is to certify that my mother,
Mrs. G. S. Clark, has my full permis
sion to carry my son, Augustus Ham
ilton Clark, Jr., away from Atlanta,
and that I hereby give to her all the
authority vested in me as his father
under the law.
"AUGUSTUS H. CLARK.
“Sworn to and subscribed before
me this, the 28th day of March, 1913.
“RUSSELL T. HARRALSON,
"Notary Public, Fulton County.”
Mrs. Clark says that, despite the
fact she believes she has a perfect
legai right to the child and that the
child's mother is not capable of taking
care of the little fellow, she will not
make any legal fight to regain pos
session. She says she believes it will
be only a phort time before her
daughter-in-law will be ready to turn
the boy over to her.

ing was the opinion expressed by
Magistrate Morphy when Morris J.
Klein, it resident of the Bronx, asked
for some order that would silence a
woman who lives in an apartment
across from his and “who makes the
days and nights hideous by talking
and shouting across the areaway.”
“It can’t be done,” declared Mur
phy. "I am but a magistrate; I have
no supernatural powers. There is no
power under heaven that will keep
quiet a woman who wants to talk.”
