AFTER THIRTY YEARS
Mr.. Moore Meets His Mother After
Separation of Many
Years.
A REPORTER TOLD A STORY
THE WANDERER WAS NOT KIDNAPPED
BY A GYPSY NOR HAS HE
FALLEN HEIR TO $4,000.
His Father Took Him to the Wild West.
He is Now Having a Good Time.
Knows a Reporter When
ever He Sees One.

All the Philadelphia and many of the
inland newspapers today contained dis
patch dated at Shamokin and reading as
follows; "W. N Moore, who claims to
have been stolen by gypsy 26 years ago
and taken to Mount Pleasant, Ohio, re
turned Monday night to visit his aged
mother and>two sisters at Shenandoah.
1t is alleged, a year ago, the gypsy died
leaving to Moore property worth $4,000
Moore was taken from home when four
years old and knew nothing of his family
until his captor revealed the secret at his
DEATH"
AS stated in the dispatch, Mr.. Moore
came to this town, but the story he told
HERALD reporter is not in accord with
that which has been given so much circu-
lation. Mr.. Moore cannot imagine how
the story got out and says he did not talk
to any reporter on his way to Shenandoah.
He says he knows a reporter when he sees
one, and as evidence of that fact he
pointed to the reporter who was inter.
viewing him for the HERALD and said to
his friends, "Sartinly know reporter :;
this is one of 'em"
Moore is stopping at present at his
mothers house i'll Robbins row, on East
Line street. The story about his being
kidnapped and having been left $50, 900 by
defunct gylsy is a fake. The truth is
this "About 80 years ago Moore's mother
and father parted and the latter went
West, taking with him Moore and his
sister, who subsequently became Mrs.
Charles Long, of this town, and is now
Mrs. Charles Billings, of Scranton. Moore
remained West for thirty years and did
not meet his mother until he came to
town yesterday. There was no kidnap.
ping business in the case and Moore has
not received a $4,000 legacy. Moore's
mother is now Mrs. Charles Beltz. She
married twice after the separation from
her first husband, and the latter married
in the West. The son, who has just re.
turned, has wife and four children at
Mt Pleasant, Ohio. He will return to
them after spending few days here and
paying a visit to Scranton. The Beltz
home on Line street is now the scene of a
grand reunion. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Billings came here from Scranton last
night in response to telegram telling of
Moore's arrival, and now all handsare
comparing notes on their experiences of
the past thirty years. '."

and was intimate with Pearl She cOrrob-
GRATED the testimony of the plaintiff,
aud upon cross examination proved
tough witness for the defense.
George Phillips, John Hooks) submitted
a letter he received from George Horatio,
in which he stated he intended marrying
Pearl Lake and that he loved her devot
edly.
George Lake EVAN j. Davies, father of
Pearl, testified that George Horatio asked
for the hand of his daughter in marriage
and that he gave his consent. He also
loaned the defendant $1,000. On cros4
examination the witness answered que-
tions right and left fred at him by the
attorneys for the defense, but he varied
but little from his first testimony He
stated that he was formerly a butcher,
but had retired, aud that Pearl could
carve steak. Here the defense tried to
draw from the witness that at the time he
said he was at Atlantic City, when the
proposal Of marriage was made to him by
letter, tat he lived in Colorado, but their
efforts were unsuccessful.
The eloquent Bamberger, after the
Commonwealth had rested their case,
presented the line of defense to the jury,
claiming that it WAS a clear case Of
blackmail.
The first witness called for the defense
was +. G. Reese, who stated that he him
self was in love with Pearl, and wanted
to separate her and George Horatio. The
object of the defense was to impeach the
character of the plaintiff, and the testi-
mony as given by the witness was
favorable to the defense.
Fred. Hooks testified that he and the
defendant were in Philadelphia on the
day upon which George Horatio is said to
have proposed to Pearl
The defense then put B. J. Yost upon
the stand, but he was not allowed to
testify, the Judge deciding that as a
witness he was non compus mentus.
William Davis said he was married to
Pearl R. Lake, the plaintiff, in 1890, and
that she was an adventures. Upon cross
examination this witness didn't know
when he was born or how old he was.
Rev. John G. Thomas swore he married
Davis and Pearl but would not tell what
fee he received for testifying.
S. L. Brown was called, but he proved
a damaging witness for the defense. He
was supposed to represent lody, but
upon the stand stated that he was a
married man, proving that he did not
follow instructions from the attorneys
The Judges charge to the jury was
very impartial, and he disposed of the
legal questions brought out in the course
of the trial to the evident satisfaction of
the jury and the opposing attorneys. The
jury retired at 1880, and at midnight
brought in a sealed verdict stating that
they could not agree upon verdict.
