PRETTY GIRL KIDNAPPED.
Jessie Ashousc, Il pttsburg lIcircss, Alb.
Quoted by Strange Young Man-No
Clue to the Missing Girl.


By the United Press
Pittsburg, Feb 2l.-Jessie Alshouse,
an unusually bright and handsome
pupil of the Sharpsburg public school,
has been abducted, and her adopted
parents believe that she is being held
for ransom. Jessie is an orphan, II
years of age, and is heiress to consid-
cradle property.
She is unusually large and we'll de-
veloped, and with her intelligence would
readily be taken to be three years older.
On Monday afternoon young man
called at the school and asked permits
sion of Jessie's teacher to take the girl
to her aunt, Mrs. Mary Cusick, who
lives in Allegheny He said Mrs Cusck
was alarmingly i'll, and wanted to see
Jessie without delay. Jessie seemed to
know the young man, and went with
him without any reluctance.
Upon the death of her parents, sew
eral years ago, Jessie was adopted by
the family of John Overlook, at Sharps-
burg. When she did not return from
school as usual the family became
alarmed, and learned that she had been
dN dN dS Stittu w Iltll lHtS sent
to the house of Mrs. Cusick, in Ale
gheny, Jessie had not been there, and
had not been summoned by her aunt.
The matter was kept very quiet in the
hope that Jessie would return the fol-
lowing day. The case was placed in the
hands of a detective, who hopes to find
the missing girl; but is handicapped
badly, as no one at the school is able
to give a good description of the young
man who called for her.
The Overlook family can ascribe but
one motive for Jessie's abduction, and
that was to secure the property which
she will inherit. As she was docile
and obedient in every way, the family
cannot believe that she would willingly
remain absent by her own will. Mrs.
Cusick, the girls aunt, is the legally
constituted guardian, and S. G. Barnes,
publisher of the Springfield Record, is
executor of the estate of the late Henry
Alshouse. The affair has created in
tense excitement, and should her alb
ductor be captured in or near the town,
he would be lucky to escape with his
lifa

Evidence Showed lie Had Been Repeat.
cdly Recognized Years Before Arrest.
BY the United Press.


Washington, Feb. 21.-The case of
Captain Howgate was given to the jury
today. The judge in his charge to the
jury construed the evidence strongly
against the defendant on the facts. but
laid some stress on the proof of the al
legation as to whether or not the de-
fendant was fugitive from justice
under the meaning of the law.
Evidence in the case showed that
Howgate had visited Washington since
his disappearance nearly fifteen years
ago, without molestation, and that he
had been repeatedly recognized in New
York, where he was carrying on the
business of a dealer in second hand
books under an assumed name, but
that although officers of the govern
ment thus recognized him. no effort was
made to secure his arrest.
