Indianapolis, D?e. 27.—A sensatio® kidnaping, involving the family of cl United States Attorney General Wil Ham H. H. Miller, occurred last after’ noon and led to a hot chase across the state to overtake the wife of Samuel D. Miller, son of W. H. H Miller, who was supposed to be flying to New York with her stolen son. Samuel D. Miller and wife have in New York for several years j summer he came west to go father’s office. His wife staid in York. Lust Friday she came here W demand possession of her 7 year-old son! whom the father had brought west with him and who was living with him at the grandfather's home. The husband and wife had a consulta tion and she is said to have agreed that if the boy was allowed to be sent to her dai|y with the nurse she would not at tempt to kidnap him. The boy and nurse called on Mrs. Miller at the hotel. She sent the nurse out to get a check cashed, and while the governess was gone, ordered a carriage and made ar rangements to leave. When the gov erness returned Mrs. Miller announced they were going for a drive. They started in a closed carriage down South Meridian street toward the depot. The German governess, suspecting foul play, jumped out of the carriage while it was on a run, ran to a telephone and notified the father aud grandfather. Search was at once instituted, and continued throughout the night. Mrs. Miller and the child were found at Lawrence, about 3 o'clock, asleep in the house of a man named Marshall, where they had obtained lodging for the night. The police reached the place at daylight. Mrs. Miller gave up the child aud was not placed under arrest. The entire police and detective forces were called Into the case. The detectives and other searchers were unable to find any trace of the cabman, George Senour, until early this morning. Senour said he was ordered to drive to the Massachusetts avenue station after going to the union station. He did not notice, he said, that the girl had left the carriage. At Massachusetts avenue Mrs. Miller seemed to change her mind and ordered him to go on to Brightwood. At this station it was as certained that the train which Mrs. Miller had counted on taking had left. Senour left her at Twenty-fifth street, arranging with a liveryman to take her to Lawrence. When the police arrived they had but little difficulty in finding the mother and her child. Mrs. Miller was Miss Helen Karcher of Pottstown, Pa. Samuel Miller first met her nine years ago at Washington, when his father was President Harri son’s attorney general. They were mar ried a year later and their son, Sydney, is now 7 years old. Samuel Miller returned to Indianapo lis with his father and subsequently be came a member of the law firm of Hord, Perkins & Miller. Five years ago he went to New York. Last summer, when hp returned to Indianapolis, Mrs. Miller refused to go with him. There has been no divorce and Mr. Miller has been sending her an allowance.
