IN JAIL AT LAST.
Major Fields Now Has Time 70 Reflect
on the Error OF His Way.

The celebrated Major Fields is
getting wound up at last, and has
not only got his foot in it, but has
gotten his feet in it, and likewise the
rest of his carcass. He has been
boarding at the Hotel de Jail in
Morgantown the past ten days at
the expense of Monongalia county.
In another column will be found
an account from the New Dominion
about his undoing over there. He
had taken his wife-sister over there
and left her with their mother, and
would go over to see her whenever
he pleased, so the authorities of that
place concluded that the business
had gone far enough, and too far,
and that the Major had cavorted
around the country enough for a red
brush scrub like him, and they at
last began to move and persuade his
wife-sister to swear out a warrant
for him and write to him to come
over, and agreeing to let her off if
she would help land the Major. He
got the letter and hired a horse of
the livery stable here last Saturday
week, telling them he was going
to Gainesville and would be back
next day. They collected the two
days hire in advance and the Major
struck for Morgantown. He told
"Aunt Polly" Fields (his foster
mother) that he had a team at
Fairmont, where he had been work
ing till lately, and that he was going
there to see about it. They were
ready for him when he arrived in
Morgantown that evening and nab
bed him, but it was too late for a
trial, neither side being ready with
witnesses, etc, the trial was set for
Monday afternoon before Squire
Hayes, and the Major had to give
bond for appearance at that trial or
60 to Jail. So Gay Fairfax, from
Reedsville, being there, went on his
bond till Monday. The Major de-
MED that Ann Webley was his moth
er, but she came on the stand and
swore that she was the mother of
both Of them. That settled it, and
he was held under $500 bond to
await the action of the next Grand
Jury. AS he could not give it, he
had to go to Jail. He has written
to "Aunt Polly" Fields here to go
his bond, but she will be very fool
ish il she does.
The Major wanted to swear out a
warrant for his wife also, claiming
that she knew of their relationship
before she married him, (Which is
true9, and that she is just as guilty
as he is, which is absolutely correct
and can be proven by forty people in
this town, but they told the Major
that If he did that, it would be ad.
hitting his guilt, and he concluded
he was in deep enough, and so took
his swearing out in the ordinary
way. The Majors wife sister work
ed around town here before hei
marriage and always spoke of the
Major as her brother, while he fire.
quently referred to her as his sister.
When he came back here from Fair.
mont he told the writer that "the
Ralphsnyders, Il. c. and Geo. M. ]
were his attorneys, and he wasn't
afraid but what they could keep him
out of trouble" but it looks now
like they had tough job on hand.
