Anna Workman, an Inmate. and a
Montgomery Saloon Keeper. Ar
rested in Cincinnati. Where
he Had Induced Her to
Meet Him.
Girl Charge Former Director of School with
Seduction. Big Sensation

-. Il
The Girls Industrial School, State
Institution, has big scandal on its
hands. The affair is of very sensa-
tional nature and duplicates part of
the former management of the school.
1t is the outcome of the escapade of
Anna Workman, an inmate of the in
stitution. Anna is only II years of
age but she hied herself off to Cincin.
natl to meet Charles Dent, saloon
keeper at Montgomery, this state,
and they were both arrested there last
Saturday upon complaint of Annals
mother, Mrs. E. E. Bragg, of Mt.
Hope. They were jailed to await trial
at later date.
Mrs. Bragg, in speaking of the con-
duct of her daughterand the saloonist,
declared that ''if there is any law in
Ohio or West Virginia to hold Charles
Dent, will persecute him to the Bit
ter end" She said that Dent con-
niyed with man at Montgomery to
induce the girl to go to Cincinnati and
meet him. The girlherself says Dent
induced young man to aid her in
getting to Cincinnati.
There was pathetic scene, when
the mother and daughter met. Anna
is not much more than child. She
plead with her mother for forgiveness.
The mother claims that Dent has
been after her daughter for a long
time and tried to induce her to leave
home, when she was only II years old.
At the instance of her sister, Anna
was released last August from the
School at Salem with the understand
ing that she was to enter college, but
1t appears that the authorities were
hoodwinked and that the girl had no
such intention.
She was admitted to the institution
three years or more ago, but was
taken by a prominent physician and
member of the board of directors at
that time, to his home, where she re-
mained some time. The physicians
wife was known to- go to Wheeling and
stay a week at time but nothing in
particular was thoughtofthe incident.
Since the affair in Cincinnati, how
ever, considerable light, according to
her story, has heen thrown upon her
stay at the physicians home.
AS soon as the school authorities
learned of the escapade in Cincinnati
Mrs. A. o. Triplett, superintendent of
the school, went after her and
brought her back to the institution
Wednesday night. Upon her arrival
she was questioned closely and made
revelations, incriminating the former
member of the board above referred
to. She claims that he was her Sc
ducer and that 1t occurred while he
was a member OF theboa of directors.
She told very sensational story
Mrs. Elizabeth Erskine, of Wheel
ing, former superintendent Of the
School, and some of the directors are
now at work at the School Investigate
ng the matter. The School anthori.

That the little rain came too late to
save the hay crop is the generally ex-
pressed opinion of the farmers who
came into the city, yesterday. The
crop IS variously estimated at one
fourth to tWo-thirds the average. The
drought has dried up the pastures SO
badly that some of the farmers are
feeding hay, and others have cut green
grass TO keep their stock from going
hungry. The hoed crops have been
injured more by the frosts than by the
drought. In numerous instances the
ground has been so dry that the seed
has not sprouted, and the garden stuff
is expected to come up now that it has
got little wetting.
