of him, and would have him arrested
and sent TO prison. John ran out OF the
house when he realized the possibility
of occupying military prison.

hack ward. He attempted to scale a
high board fence. and she grabbed 2

phone. and told him that she had her
son and wnnfed the captain To send q
guard for him and give him the full
punishment for desertion.
The captain thanked Mrs. Maroney
and sent n guard to take the youns
man back TO camp. Mrs. Maroneys
