Losey." Scene In Fourth Street Several weeks ago a scene which occurred in Fourth street, near Chestnut Htreet, gave an intimation of the trouble which yesterday resulted In the court proceedings. At this time Mrs. Lena Hirst, a sister of Mrs. Losey, la said to have attempted to take the Losey boy from the automobile of Mr. Kennedy as it stood near the curbing, but Mr.

Kennedy intervened. A large crowd gathered, and, although Mrs. Hirst die not get the child, she declared that Mrs. Losey and the boy were being unlawfully detained by Mrs. Kennedy.

Mrs. Losey is the widow of Frank Morgan Losey, who was secretary of the National Foundry Machine Company, before his death, eight years ago. It is estimated that he left Mrs. Losey and his son an estate valued at about $70,000. This property included a farm near Ir.oquois Park, where Mrs.

Losey, her mother, Mrs. Henrietta Buetgenbach, and her sisters took up their residence. Acquaintance Formed. Accordlng to the attorneys for Mrs. Buetgenbach, not long afterward two women walked into the yard and asked that they be permitted to rest under the shade trees.

They were invited In, It Is said, and spent some time In a lawn swing. One of these was Mrs. Kennedy, say the attorneys, and the other Miss Vernier, Mrs. Kennedy's secretary and companion. From this Visit sprang up relations which ultimately resulted in the alleged gaining of hypnotic control over Mrs.

Losey by Mrs. Kennedy. Shortly afterward Mrs. Lceey's relatives left the farm and then she went to make her home with Mrs. Kennedy, it Is said.

The attorneys charge that gradually Mrs. Kennedy grew in her occult mastery of Mrs. Losey, and that now she has her in complete obedience to her commands. About a year and a half ago Mrs. Losey returned home, they say, declaring that she was rid of her mental disease and would not go back to Mrs.

Kennedy again, but they declare that Virc Kennedy called her over the telepUr 3.Lvi. Loey said: "Oh, I must return to Tr.o family say that since tltai time Mrs. Losey lias remained with Mrs. Kennedy and that much of her money has been invested In some sandpits which Mrs. Kennedy owns near Elizabethtown.

They also claim that her farm has been heavily mortgaged and that certain stocks have been disposed of through the influence of Mrs. Kennedy. A reporter last night visited the Detention Home, in Eist Walnut street, where little John Jacob Losey Is being held, pending disposition of the case. The lad was busily engaged in trying to frighten a bit of kitten by a still smaller rag dog. He was in the best of spirits and said that he liked It at the home and thought "the matron was an awfully nice lady." i When the reporter was leaving the child cried: "Say, mister, come back to-morrow at 1 o'clock and we will have a rattling good baseball game.

John Boyd Kennedy To File Answer To-day. Says She Was Made Guardian of Mrs. Losey's Son. Grandmother Carries Fight For Boy Into Courts. ALSO WANTS DAUGHTER Stffns of the zodiac, mysteries of plane tary influence and the occult powers of hypnotism and mesmerism were mingled yejterday with such mundane matters as writs of habeas corpus, charges and cojntcr-charires in the proceedings of Urs.

Henrietta Btutgenbach to get possesion of ber daughter, Mrs. Julia B. Losey, and her 8-year-old grandson, John Jacob Losey, from Mrs. John Boyd Kennedy, wife of a real estate dealer. Mrs.

Buetgenbach accuses Mrs. Kennedy of having hypnotized Mrs. Losey. The controversy has been of long standing, Mrs. Lena Hirst, a sister of Mrs.

Losey. having attempted several weeks ago to take the little boy away from Mr. Kennedy in Fourth street. Yesterday a motion for a writ of habeas corpus to compel Mrs. Kennedy to firing Mrs.

Losey lntJ Judge Field's court and another to take the child from the custody of Mrs. Kennedy and place him under the Ju-; venlle Court, were filed. Both applica tions we're granted, but owing to Dr. V. P.

Boggess presenting a written statement that Mrs. Kennedy was ill and unable to aunear In court. Judge Field passed the caso until 10 o'clock VhU morn ing, and Judge Weiieinger fixed the hearing of the motion to take the Losey child from Mrs. Kennedy's charge for 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Habeas Corpus Writ Asked.

Yesterday morning Attorneys Fred Forcht and Walter Huffaker filed an application in Judge Field's court asking lor a writ of habeas corpus to compel Mrs. Kennedy to bring Into court Mrs. Losey, daughter of the plaintiff, Mrs. Buetgenbach, and her S-y ear-old son. Mrs.

Kennedy was served with the no-. tlee of the petition, but when the case was called at 10 o'clock she did not appear. It was then that the certificate from Dr. Boggess was filed, stating that Mrs. Kennedy had suffered a nervous breakdown the night before and scarcely would be aoie to appear in court lor a weeK.

xne attorneys for Mrs. Buetgenbach urged that a writ of delivery be issued at once, saying that illness was no excuse in a habeas corpus proceeding, but Judge Fieid passed the hearing until 10 o'clock this morning and ordered a rule issued that Mrs. Kennedy must file her answer today and produce the mother and child In open- court. Orders Warrant Issued. Immediately the attorneys went before Judge Welssinger of the Juvenile Court and, with an affidavit made by Mrs.

Buetgenbach, asked that the court take custody of the Losey child on the ground that he has not a proper guardian at this time- Judge Welssinger at once ordered a warrant Issued for the detention of the child and directed that he be placed In the Detention Home until to-morrow when the part of the case relating to the child vill be heard. The warrant was given to Miss Mary Price, a probation officer, and County Patrolman Frank Williams, who went to the Kennedy home, 1256 South Third street. According to these officers they received no response when they rang the front door bell, but when they went to the side door, they say, a young man answered. Told they had come for the Losey child, he called Miss Antolne Vernier, Mrs. Kennedy's private secretary and companion.

Miss Vernier telephoned Attorney Edward G. Hill, who, when he learned from Miss Price that she had authority for her action, advised Mis3 Vernier not to oppose it. After he had been dressed the little fellow, was turned over to Miss Price and In the automobile of John Boyd Kennedy, the party was driven to the Detention Home, in East Walnut street. There the lad was placed In charge of Miss Thompson, assistant matron. Allegations Made.

In her petition for writs, Mrs. Buetgenbach alleges that Mrs. Losey is a person of unsound mind and that through hypnotism and mesmerism Mrs. Kennedy has complete control over her; that Mrs. Losey has been In a hypnotic state for many months and that she is completely incapable cf managing her estate; that Mrs.

Kennedy has assumed control of Mrs. Losey's property and her son, John Jacob Losey; that her relatives have not been able to see or talk with Mrs. Losey for more than-a year and that they do not know now where she Is. It Is further charged that she either Is being restrained at the Kennedy home or that she has been secreted from her relatives by Mrs Kennedy at some other nlace, and that despite frequent demands the defendant haa refused and still refuses to release tha child so that the plaintiff may have the care, custody and control of him. During the last few weeks private detectives have been busily engaged investigating the relations between Mrs.

Kennedy and Mrs. Losey and trying to locate' Mrs. Losey. They were unsuccessful and after every means had been exhausted the habeas corpus proceedings were resorted to. May Offer Reward.

It was stated yesterday by the attorneys for Mrs. Buetgennach that since Mrs. Kennedy claims uot to have custody of Mrs. Losey and therefore to be unable to obey the summons of the court, a large reward will be offered for any Information concerning Mrs. Losey's whereabouts, if she does not appear in court to-day or to-morrow.

However, was stated late yesterday afternoon by E. G. Hill, attorney for Mrs. Kennedy that a. telephone message had been, received from Mrs.

Losey, to the effect that sne would bo In-court. Mr. -Hill refused to divulge the place where Mrs. r-osev now fa StrtvfriD hit aaM fhnf 'inKU the turmoil of the truer el huta-oon relatives and Mrs. Kennedy, she had gone to a quiet spot where she is awaiting "io uoi yteseuce win oe needed In court.

Although Attorney Hill had been asked for aitvice yesterday morning when the child was taken from the Kennedy home Mrs. Kennedy did not have counsel in this case until yesterday afternoon. Shortly after 4 o'clock she left her home and in her automobile went to the office of Mr. Hill, in the Louisville building, and secured his services. I Mrs Kennedy was dressed in a white duck suit arid wore a nobby straw hat trimmed In white flowers, and white silk Cloves.

She carried a white parasol. Intakes ''Court Answer." Following the with her attorney, Mrs. Kennedy announced that, she refused to "to stoop to- the petty quarreling methods at giving Interviews," but Vould make her court answer serve the purpose of replying publicly to the allegations against her. The answer was sworn to before Edith F. Brleg, a notary public, yesterday afternoon and will be filed in Judge Field' court this morning.

In it Mrs. Kennedy denies that Mrs. Losey is a person of unsound mind and incapable of attending to her business affairs or oaring for her child, and that the plaintiff has any right to th possession of the boy.
