Four weeks ago Friday, Bean was
arrested in Marshfield on the charge of

was fined about $l6 which he paid and
was released. Just about this time
complaint was made that he was abus-
ing the little Kent girl, who was liv-
ing at his home, and that he had

He was arrested there and the officers
here communicated with. The offence
for which che warrant was issued was
for misdemeanor only and es the
Kent girl had gone away he was re-
leased. Bean left Manchester then for
parts unkownn.
Soon the seriousness of the crime
for which Mr.. Bean is now held was
learned from Josie Kent who had been
examined by physicians IN New York.
Then the search for Bean continued.
Last week Mr.. Pike got track OF his
man in Haverhill, Mass and he sent
word to that city to. have him ar
rested. Inspector E. L. Shannon got
on the scent and succeeded in tracing
the man to Groveland where he had
hired out on farm for a year. This
was Friday morning, and the arrest
was made on the charge of his being
a fugitive and Bean was brought to
Haverhill
Mr.. Pike was notified and, having
procured the necessary papers from
States Attorney Senter, started for
Massachusetts to get his man. Bean
finally consented to come back with
out the requisition papers for which
Mr.. Senter had applied to Governor
Mccullough. Mr.. Pike took his man
as far as Manchester. N. H., on Sat-
urday, and preferring to travel by day
light with man of Beams character
left him there in the police station
over Sunday, starting away ON Mon
day for Montpelier, where he arrived
late in the afternoon, Sheriff Pike
speaks in high terms of the way the
New Hampshire and Massachusetts
officers used him, all manifesting a
keen interest in bringing the criminal

hour with Mr.. Roosevelt in his H.
brary. The petition, which was the
expression of 225, 600 men of the union
