Man and Wife Clash as Father Seizes Baby in Savannah
Savannah July 9 a prominent contractor Stephens Leonard was arrested on assault and battery after his wife swore out a warrant for kidnapping the five month old child. The chase moved from Liberty and Barnard to West Broad and the courthouse where both attorneys were tied up in the Johnson murder trial. Leonard kept the child and left with it for his office and later the attorneys, culminating in a warrant for Leonard's arrest. Mrs Leonard, a nurse from Siena, says the marriage since April 1900 has been stormy and she has twice left him due to his temper and abuse.
