Davis has been charged with kidnapping, the sheriff said, and is the object of a widespread search centering in Savannah.
   Victim of the alleged kidnaper is pretty blonde Mildred Aspinwall Teston, 14, who thirty minutes before the incident occurred had been married in Alma to Doniva Teston, 17.

Last night Davis agreed to drive them to Alma, where the ceremony was preformed.

   In Savannah, Chief of Detectives John C. McCarthy reported that an all-car alert had been given and that a special detail of detectives had been assigned to cover Savannahused car lots. It is believed that Davis is without funds, and will probably attempt to sell the automobile.

   Teston is also small in sise, the sheriff said, and weighs about 120 pounds.
   Davis has been a resident of Bristol, in Pierce county about eleven miles from Blackshear, for about two months. He was an employe of the Myron Construction Company, and engaged on a building job near Bristol. The young couple had know Davis only about two or three weeks, said the sheriff. Both young Teston and Miss Aspinwall lived on farms near the construction job.
  Davis was already suspected of having stolen the 1937 Chevrolet coupe he was driving last night, the sheriff said. Sheriff Taylor said the construction worker tried serveral times to sell the vehicle, but had been unable to produce proper ownership papers.
