Jester drove into that town He asked
Jester where the other driver was. Jes-
ter told him that he had left him out
west and that he was going TO Indiana

home. Jester had two watches, hunting
case and an open face watch. saying that
he traded with the young man for them.
Jester had traded two of his horses for
other horses. He had enough bed cloth
ing in his outfit for two.
In a short time detectives came
through Decatur searching for Jester for

hospitality Of the people. Jester next
stopped with the Glen family. The Rev.
George Glen, boy then, a Methodist
minister now. said Jester came to his
house IN 1871 with two teams and a
buffalo calf, ate supper with them and
hired him to drive one OF his wagons to
Indiana, offering him 80, but went away
without him. He told the witness that
the young man with him was Of a dissi-

and gone west.

Bush's escapades are not agreed in
opinion about them. Some regard the
incident as joke. Others are inclined
to be indignant that man should be
so Indifferent to a girls pride. One
young woman said:
"He is worse than a vivisectionist,
because physical pain can be allayed
by opiates, but for serious heart
wounds thereis no remedy"
Bush explained his experiments by
saying that he went no further with
any of the girls than many another
young man.
81 did not carry matters so far as 10
make a proposal to any Of the girls"
Bush said. 1T was not necessary. Any
of the things may have done am sure
were perfectly permissible and not diff
ferent than others are in the habit OF
doing with their girl friends"
Bush says the girls have done him
an injustice in asserting that he heart
lessly made them the subjects of ex-
periments, but there were at least 12
of the young women who stated posi-
lively that the young mans courtships
had no other purpose than to garner
psychological data for a thesis which

partment in a few weeks.
