Sheriff Easton H. Drown returned
Thursday from Leavenworth, Kansas,
where he attempted to execute Il
warrant for the arrest of Charles
Sawyer, formerly well known resi-
dent of this city, who Is wanted
here on a charge OF failing to sup
port his three minor children.
The affidavits for Sawyer's arrest
was filed with the local humane So
ciety by his former wife who now
resides at Crestine. More than a
year ago Sawyer is said to have left
bis family and since that time is
alleged to have failed to contribute
to the support of his children.
Sheriff browns expedition fesult-
ed in absolutely riothingss befhla ac-
eomplished. The authorities at Leav-
enworth paced Sawyer under arrest
upon the order of the sheriff. BY
the time Sheriff Drown arrived to
take possession of the prisoner, Saw
yer's friends had begun a habeas
corpus proceeding and the local
officer found 1t impossible to take
his prisoner out of the state. In
Kansas the law makes a nonsupport
case a misdemeanor while in Ohio
it is considered felony and the diff
ference in the laws rendered the
local officer totally helpless.
Sawyer is manager Of the Mis-
souri, sanatorium and is man of
considerable prominence in his home
state. The babeas corpus papers
which prevented the sheriff from
taking possession of the prisoner
were issued by Governor Hoch of
Kansas.
