Referring to the purchase of kidnaped children from the kidnapers by well-to-do Chinese residents of Hong Kong, without effort on the part of these purchasers to ascertain from whence the children came, he says: "In each of these cases I requested the prosecution of these well-to-do persons, purchasers of these human chattels, who had bought these children, whose money had occasioned the kidnaping, just as a receiver of stolen goods buys stolen property without due or any inquiry to verify the patent lies of the vendors.
For the very good reason that some hours earlier they had calmly removed a window from its moorings and by this time were much too far away to answer questions. The Flight of the Kidnapers Searching parties were organised and sent out to scour the country, late as it was. Swift riders gave the alarm along every roadway, and the station agent telegraphed the news into every section of the land.
"Sure, they'd steal you, and then they'd say to your father, 'Give! me a million dollars in cash if you want Miss Gwendolyn back. And if your father didn't give the money on the spot, you'd be sold to gipsies, or or Chinamen." But Gwendolyn persisted. "Thomas has killed el'phunts," she reminded. "Are are kidnapers worse than el'phunts?" She drew on her gloves.
"If if Thomas walked along with us," she began, "could could anybody steal me then?" Jane was taking out coat, hat and gloves. "What would kidnapers care about Thomas?" she demanded contemptuously.
Therefore these kidnapers frequent Hong Kong much, it being a place where it is easy to buy and to sell, and where effective means are at hand to make good a speedy escape.

Uncle John consulted with Judge Sands as to what was best to do about the kidnapers. A few days later two suspicious looking creatures were arrested.

The little boy, sobbing plaintively, tried to answer the questions of the sergeant who took charge and despatched men in every direction to search for the kidnapers and send the alarm through the city.
All the while flagrant crimes were committed against Negro women and girls, and free men in the border states were constantly being dragged into slavery by kidnapers. Two typical cases will serve for illustration.
Somebody else will have the say. You won't be hurt here unless you try to escape it won't do you any good to yell. It ain't a palace, but it's better than the grave. So be wise. All we got to do is to turn you over to the proper parties at the proper time. That's all." "Is the person you speak of my my mother or my father?" Rosalie asked with bated breath. With the Kidnapers
"But we'll look sharp that nothin' of the kind happens," she declared stoutly; "for who can git you when you're in the car especially when Thomas is along to watch out. So" with a great show of enthusiasm "we'll go out, oh! for a grand ride." She rose. "Aren't there kidnapers in the country, too?" asked Gwendolyn. "I I guess I'd rather stay home."
