GRATED W itheB story o. i. ii. SUllomii
proprietor Of racket store on east
Seventh street sUllom knew Graham
seven years ago, when that worthy
was combining the preaching and
horse;stealing professions 10 his great
advantage.
ullom then resided near Alleppo,
Pennsylvania Graham, when ullom
first knew him, made no pretense of
being a preacher. but posed as a
plano and sewing machine agent.
HIS principal occupation, however.
was horse trading. He seemed 10
possess m unusually large number, Of
new animals. but his ministerial bear.
Ing and conduct dlsarmed suspicion as
to where they came from.
Mr.. Utfom was engaged to the pres,
ent Mrs. Ullom, and frequently called
OF the home OF her uncle, Albert Hin.
ermen, Of ,Alleppo. One day Graham
happened along and effected horse
trade with Mr.: Hlnermen. He Sc.
cured thirty dollars as boot for a
crow.bait and left seemingly satisfied.
A few nights later the crow.balt was
found In the Hinermen barn and q
fine 5000 animal, a saddler, which
Mr.. Hinermen had recently purchased,
was missing. So was Graham.
An Immediate search was Instituted
and the missing man was traced to
Metz, a nearby town. where It was
discovered that Graham had. a few
weeks previous, conducted Q series OF
remarkably successful revival meet
ings, attended by several conversions.
He had also married a young &o.
man there, at about the same time.
He had later left Metz. but had re.
s..
turned on the night Of the theft, for
n short time.
He had stayed but few hours, how.
ever, and the Alleppo searchers
gained no further trace Of him until
they were Informed that their horse
had been located in Tayette county,
West Virginia. After a long trip,
Mr.. Hinerman secured his animal,
though considerably the worse for
wear, by paying q $50 reward. 4
1t was learned In Fayette county
that, upon his arrival there, Graham
had Immediately traded the Hiaermea
horse for q much poorer animal and
500. He continued trading until he
had practically nothing left, a few
days later, he went over into Mineral
county, stole another animal. aud was
caught, He received Ave years
sentence in the Mounlsvilie peniten.
tiary. Mr. Hinermen, Mrs. Uiiom's
uncle, visited him there, but later de.
cIded to drop the prosecution.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. iullom would
prove valuable witnesses for the pros:
