county Jail of Neosho county a man with a terri

county, and attracted attention from his solitary
habits He only seemed to court the society of
little boys several of whom told strange stories
about him One night the house of farmer
who was absent from home was entered and a
fendish outrage perpetrated upon lady who
was there. In the darkness he escaped unde-
tected. Search was made by Infatuated citizens
for the wretch, when the recluse exhibited great
er signs of fear than were ever noticed before.
He was arrested, brought before the injured
woman, and from his voice she declared
him to be the man. On the way to
the Jail the sherifrs posse met a party
of Alabama immigrants of whom look

name was Ogletree. but the whole Alabama
party united in declaring his identity with the
famous boystealer, who for six weeks kept the
borders of Georgia and Alabama in ferment
over his deeds He was first heard of in Atlanta.
where he induced newsboy named Tilton to go
with him.
Once out of the city, he cut off the boys ears,
for the purpose, he said, of identifying him in a
crowd After inflicting upon the boy unheard

county, when be took to the woods and es

county, Georgia, where he approached the
farmhouse of Mr.. Buchanan, coaxed away
two children, and kept them tied out in the
woods for several days, visiting them when it
suited his pleasure. He Joined in several of the
searching parties for the purpose of misleading
them as to their location, and. finally when he
saw that they were in the neighborhood of where
the children were took an abrupt departure By
this time the county getting stirred up. He
was next heard from the junction of the State
lines of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, where
he coaXed off a nine year-old boy named Joe
Allen, white, He was no more than day out
when detectives and relatives located his course,
and striking out in pursuit, followed up one of
the most difficult trails ever before undertaken.
From the Tennessee line down the Georgia
line to Newman, nearly 300 miles, through for
ests, over mountains and across rivers, the chase
