George Sacks, twenty-six years of age,
and Edith Moffatt. fourteen years old, who
disappeared simultaneously from their
homes here the latter part Of September,
and for whom the officers have been look
Ing ever since, were arrested yesterday af-
terroon at a farmhouse near a small sta
ton called Guinea, twelve miles below
Fredericksburg. Va, where they had stop
ped to get something to eat. The couple
stopped at a hotel in Fredericksburg

MED by City Sergeant Chichester, started

whom he knew well, he gave up The trio
returned TO Hyattsville late last evening,
and Sacks was Immediately placed in the
lookup and the girl taken to the home of
her mother, near Bladensburg.
The officers claim that he admits having
stolen horse from Mrs. Keane in Bladens-
burg and horse and vehicle from Gold
smiths livery stable in Baltimore. In addi-
ton TO these charges, a warrant accusing
him of abduction will probably be sworn
out, and 1t is also alleged that he has a
wife residing in Prince George county, who
is apt to give him some trouble.

Garrison received word from Baltimore that
a horse and dayton wagon had been stolen

erty, and Mr.. Ward, although he had paid
$40 for the outfit, turned the horse and
dayton over to Mr.. Goldsmith, who yester-
day drove the team back to Baltimore. MI
Ward stated to Officer Garrison that the
team was brought to his place Thursday,
January Is by a man, who was acoompa-
MED by a young girl The man offered to
sell the outfit for S45, and Mr.. Ward agreed
to buy if the horse proved satisfactory at
ter a trial of ten days. At the end of that
time he purchased the team, and the man
from whom he had purchased left the
neighborhood, going III the direction of the
Potomac river.
Sacks and the young Monatt girl have
been tramping about the state, 1t is SAID,
ever since they left their homes here the
latter part of December. Officer Vincent
declares that they have been travelling un.
der assumed names, and when they stopped
a. boarding houses or hotels never regis
tered as man and wife. Sacks was for
merly an elevator operator in Washington

CAMEL to Buy His Own Release.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, February At
seems to be an almost assured fact that
John Camel will cover first base on the
Grand Rapids team during the coming
season, as he has decided to purchase his
release from the New York Americans for
$500. The sale of First Baseman Carey
to the Memphis team in the Southern
League is an indication that such is the
case Carey is one of the best men In the
Central League. and was purchased last
year from Buffalo for $500.
An effort is being made by Camel to
make a deal by which Pitcher Van Anda,
who was sent back to Canton by Cincir-
natl, will play with the Grand Rapids team
In trade for Cooley and Havel and cash
consideration.
