FATHER HAS TO
GIVE UP CHILD
HE KIDNAPED
Lttle Girl Snuggles Once Again
in Arms of Her
Mother
CASE STIRS DA V PHIN
Wife Tells Court of Husband's
Cruelty and How She
Left Him
iFor the first time In nearly a week,
■wee Elizabeth Nagle, aged 4, this
morning snuggled happily in her
pretty mother's arms, and kissed her,
and smoothed her furs with tiny hands
and told her how glad her little
daughter- was to be with her mamma
again. , ...
Tuesday morning of last week while
the young mother was at work in a
Dauphin factory to support herself
and small child, George Nagle, the
father and divorced husband of Mrs.
Nagle, coaxed the baby front play in
front of her home and drove off with
her.
To-day the Dauphin county courts
decreed that the mother and not the
father was the proper person to care
lor the child and that the youngster
should be restored to her mother's
arms.
The decision followed an liouv and
a hulf's habeas corpus hearing which
the sad-eyed mother had instituted to
regain possession of her daughter.
Hated George 2 Hours After Wedding;
The Nagle's married life hadn't
been entirely happy it developed on
the witness stand, and the family dis
turbance became apparent soon after
they were married back in 1908. Nagle
had been cruel to her, Mrs. Nagle
quietly explained, so cruel that she
was forced to leave him with their
youngest child, Elizabeth, two years
ago. Mrs. Nagle admitted that she
had told her mother-in-law that "she
believed she grew to hate George two
hours after the wedding." Divorce
proceedings were begun by Nagle on
the grounds of desertion and the case
was heard last month. Since the
separation Mrs. Nagle. has been living
with her parents at Dauphin, Mr. and
Mrs. George B. Gilday.
How He Stole Cliihl
Witnesses told of the excellent home
the hard-working mother had pro
vided for the child, of the love that
hod i lwa.vs existed between the two.
and of the frequent refusal of the
father to permit his wife to come
back. Then other witnesses told how
Nagle last Tuesday drove up to the

BUCKNELL MEETS
GETTYSBURG ON
ISLAND GROUNDS
Annual College Game Attracts
Thousands to Gridiron;
Battle For Blood
Harrisburg's annual college football
game was to-day's big event on Island
field. Bucltncll and Gettysburg elevens
furnished the big attraction which at
tracted a record crowd. It was an
ideal day for a gridiron battle.
Activity started shortly before
j noon to-day when two special trains
arrived, each bringing 300 students
with a band. The Gettysburg train
reached the city at 10 o'clock. Fol
lowing a street parade the students
took in the sights about the city until
1.30 when the procession started to
the Island. Their headquarters are
at the Commonwealth.
Lewisbubrg sent an enthusiastic
crowd of i-ooters with its band.
They, too, had a walk around and
during their stay in Harrisburg will
b? quartered at Hotel Columbus. With
the Bucljnell crowd is George Cockill,
former manager of the Harrisburg
Tri-State team and now an umpire in
the National League He is» assistant
coach this season at Bucknell.
Lively Scenes at Island
At the Island the students furnished
plenty of interest until the game
started at 2.30. The contest looked
like a battle for blood. Gettysburg
and Bucknell have long been hated
rivals. Gettysburg was the favorite to
day. Bucknell for the first time of
fered a team of mostly new material
and a lightweight aggregation. The
officials were:
Referee, Bennis, University of Penn
sylvania; umpire, Washburn, Brown;
head linesman, Palmer, Swarthmore.
Each period was IB minutes in length.
A conference was held previous to
the game regarding the appointment
lof a Held judge. Officials were in favor
of eliminating this extra official, but
left It'tip to the umpire. To-night the
students will be the guests of C. Floyd
Hopkins at the Orphoum theater. Get
tysburg was scheduled to return home
at 11 o'clock and Lewisburg at 11.30.
