Jesup, Euston and Miles Middleton,
the white boys arrested by Detectives
Stark and Bostick for forging the name

stated at police headquarters that if
they remained here they would have
to work. while if they were with their
father he could afford to send them

This she seems anxious to have them

The boys used the money that they
secured from the drug store to buy
tickets to Savannah where their moth

the special friends of the young Roose-
