Newton, Aug. 12.-Another sensation
will be felt in the famous Myra G.. Ross
case, when it becomes known to the
public that on last Monday, Aug. Z,
her foster father, James NJ. Ross, deed
% all his property to his wife,
Mary Ross, the consideration being
one dollar and love and affection. 1t
. said that he was worth from fifteen
20 twenty thousand dollars.
The general surnnise is that the
transfer Of the property was made to
prevent collection Of damages should
Judgment be secured in the case
brought against James Ross demand
ing damages In the sum Of $4,000 al
leEing that Ross was for three years
criminally intimate with the girl who
was then merely a child and under the
Age OF consent.
The story Of the life Of this beautiful,
innocent, sixteen year old orphan, girl,
which has come to light In the past
week, reads like q novel. Her father,
whose name was Bales, died when she
was less than two years OF age, leav-
ing widow and nine children In the
city Of Des Moines. Her mother died
about 1899 after which she was taken
10 the home Of the friendless in Des
Moine,, In the spring Of 1900 the man
ayers Of the home adopted her to
James NJ. Ross and wife Of Prairie
City, where she has since lived.
Aside from the horrible story told
IN the damage suit petition, the neigh
bors describe many inhuman acts OF
cruelty on the part Of the foster moth
er, such as striking her on the head
with q stick OF stove wood and the
broom handle and often beating her
until persons talked Of bringing an ac-
ton against them.
II It Is thought that after the foster
parents had given their consent for her
TO leave their home and go to her sister
sin st. Louis they became afraid that
she might some time tell Of her In
human and most horrible treatment
and for this reason they had her ar
rested In Des Moines and then re-ar-
rested and brought to Newton. for the
purpose of preventing her from telling
the facts which are alleged In her
sworn petition.
The information was filed by the
foster mother, Mary Ross, Aug. 8, and
