THE STORY
of HASTINGS career is 8 very strange one,
sni were il fully written, would make
quite 8 remarkable volume. He is young
bes rdless bOy, will reach his 10th year
some time next month, of genteel appear
ance and good address and would never be
suspected of becoming the noted criminal
he has. According to his own statement
his ia hr and mother are 50 parated He
was RAISED in Car hage, Missouri, where his
father now resides. lie has an uncle and a
graz dfather now resiiing in California
Mo Ever since his twelfth year he hes been
roaming abOlt fem place to place but
m ,de his principal headquarters in Cali
fornia. During his wanderings he has al
ways been
NOTED CROOK
and TIE number OF his l;nquencies and
depredsri ,rs are unkn Jwn, but the follow
ing it is claimed can be proven: "At his
home in Carthage he is wanted for burg
lazy and the larceny of gold watch, a
number of watch caains, sn1 some shirts
and her clothing"
AT Nevada charge of lsrceny aw Its
him for the theft of poke book cOatain-
ing so in mon v, note for $3.50 and an
t. er for $50 Ire $3.50 noe has been re-
covered, ard is IN the possession of Mar
shal rilIery, of CslifOroia, Mo.
He is also wan'ei in Cole county for
the larceny of SlS from Mr.. Rains, in
whose employ Bastine for some time was.
At Csliforn a a charge rests sgairst him
for the forgery Of an order for so in the
n lme of Mr.. Chambers, and yes erdey
MARSHAL TILLERY
of that place arrived in Sedslia to ide nifty
him and If possible secure him for trial at
that place il he should escape here.
Under the laws of Missouri no re-son
committing any felony while under Is
years of age can receive a greater punish
msnt than one year in the county jail for
any such offence, and under these circum-
stqncss 1t is proposed, should Hastlne be
convicted here, to take him, after he shall
have served his term, to some other point
where he can be convicted and re.sentence
him there. Should this be done Hastiue il
in fair way to reach his majority behind
the bars, as it is claimed there is positive
proof to convict at al the four points
named, and this, should he be convicted
here, will make an aggregate of jail n
terces amounting to five years.
