ATTEMPT TO RECOV- ER YOUNGSTER NOW BEING MADE. On Thursday laSt Dorothy Marion,‘ [t-he eight-year-old adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Marion, was taken from the school at noon by a woman supposed now to be the moth- er of'the child. The child went to ‘school asusual in the morning, and when she did not return for dinner, inquiries were set on foot. Mr. Ma- rion was out of town, but Mrs. Ma- ,rio'n discovered that a strange wo- man had called at the school in the {morning and spoken to the child. Then at noon the w0man had return- ed with a. cab and woman and child had gotten into the cab and were driven at the woman’s request to the station where they boarded the 12.05 train for Toronto. Later it was discovered that the woman, supposed nowto be the mother of the child, had been at the Simpson House for two or three days, and was register- ed as Mrs. Convoy, of Montreal. The Marions believe they had leg- adopted the child, and that they thus had the only claim on it. Ac- cordingly a. message was sent to Blackwater for the arrest of the wo- man. This, message was received two minutes behind time, and so another .

Conductor Thompson, of the" G.T. R., was placedlunder arrest last week on a" charge of obstructing the po- lice. The charge arose over the case of the woman escaping with the lit- tle girl taken from the Marion’s home in Lindsay. Mr. Thompson ap- peared before Magistrates Hamilton and Crosby, of Uxbridge. In his evi- dence the Uxbridge constable laying the complaint, said that his only authority for attempting to arrest Mrs. Cotnvoy was a telephone mes- sage from Mrs. Marion, of Lindsay. Conductor ThompSOn had, on the woman appealing to him for protec- tion, asked the constable what au- thority he had for the action, and then said that the woman had a. right to travel to Toronto on the ticket she had, and that he could not see how the constable had authority to hinder. The woman resisted the trates expressed the opinion that Conductor Thompson was within his rights andthat he did nothing more than the the. circumstances allowed, and what his duty as being in charge of the train and passengers called for. The belief that the constable himself was doubtful of his own au- thority in the matter was also refer- red to, and it was not hard to sup- pose that hewas half glad at an ex- cuse not to push his authority to the point of making the arrest on‘ such doubtful warrant.
