ESCAPED OHIO PRISONER
CAPTURED AT TWO LICK
Deputy Sheriff of Perry County Ar
rives Here and Arrests a Man
Wanted for Committing a
Horrible Crime.
The Man is Thomas Hardy. Indicted by Perry
County Grand Jury for Committing Incest
Upon FOurteen-Year-old Daughter.

Deputy Sheriff o. F. Sears, of Perry
county, Ohio, arrived in tbs city Mon
day on a search for man BY the name
Of Thomas Hardy ofthat place who
stands indicted by the grand jury of that
county for committing horrible crime
and who had escaped from the jurisdc-
tion of the state Of Ohio.
The sheriff had received information
that Hardy was in this county and he
made the trip here for the purpose of
capturing the man and taking him back
to Perry courty for trail.
The assistance of Deputy Sheriff Fred
Fleming was obtained by Mr.. Sears The
sheriff went before Magistrate Riley and
made complaint against him with felon-
iously committing incest upon his daugh-
ter, Maggie Hardy, girl just over four
teen years of age, sometime during the
month of April; that he had been in
dicted for the crime by the grand jury of
the Court of Common Pleas OF Perry
county and had absconded from the Gus
tody Of the Perry county officers and was
n hiding in Harrison county. West Vir-
sinia. A warrant was issued and the
Ohio sheriff and the Harrison county
deputy went out to Lynch's Mines, where
their information led them to believe the
man was staying. They arrived at the
Lynch Mines and found that the man
was not there at the present time but
had been there a short time previously.
1t was learned that he had gone up to
the Two Lick Mines and the two officers
went tot hat place.
They found their man there and with
out any trouble placedhim under arrest.
They brought their prisoner to this city
and placed him behind the bars Of the
temporary jail for safe keeping.
Indignation seems to run high in Perry
county wherethc crime was committed
and the officers are afraid that the man

him back there Immediately. It Is prob
able that arrangements viii be made by
the county ofeers of Perry county to
have the man jailedin an adjoining eoun.
ty until his time for trial.
The prisoner seems willing to return
with the deputy sheriff without state
ra,u;sitinn naners

dy and his family have been here some
