home. They were the boys wanted.
They were ully about fourteen years old.
One was the son of Mr.. Pool and the
other the son of Mr.. J. J. Cox. Both
parties are we'll to do farmers living
near Bolton.
The boys seemed willing to return
home. They did not care to talk much
and gave no excuse for leaving home
except they wanted to take trip and
see something of the world. They had
bought tickels to Columbia. They had
also purchased a ticket for a negro who,
it seems, was to accompany them but
when the time came did not put in an
appearance. Each Of the boys had

tickets and dinner. Cox did not have
any money at all.
