RFY. KELSEY is jailed
CHARGE OF CHEATING.
Former Pastor Is Hauled
Back Here.

When the Reverend J. S. Kelsey rode
into Americus yesterday aboard the
train from Atlanta there was no vast
assemblage of his former flock here
to sing Eosannahs and katow to their
old shepherd, Notwithstanding the Wis
ible fact that he wore shining brace
let's and long tail coat.
But had his coming been heralded
the "sisterin' and the brethren would
have been lined up at the depot in
sorrowful plgAanx to extend him again
the glad hand.
Neatly attired in a pair of handcuffs,
along with his ministerial toga, the
Reverend Kelsey walked in the rear
of Deputy Sheriff Fuller, under whose
personal escort he came from Atlanta.
Rev. Kels is the guest of the county
during. his indefinite sojourn in Amer
icus.
Comfortable apartments at the jail
We're already in readiness and he inn
mediately retired there to seek repose
after his long journey.
Since leaving Americus several
months ago Kelsey Las annexed Il
wife, and this fact, doubtless, is re,
sponsible for his dilemma, for there
is a modern Delilah doing business
down at this end of the line.
This too trusting brunette. Mary
Sheppard, alleges that the unbleacheo
Adonis, the Rev. Kelsey, had harpoon-
ed her heart, and under promise OF
marriage she had dug up the family
stocking and loaned Bro. Kelsey the
goodly sum of $699 in horrible cold
cash.
With the money in his jeans, she
alleges that this good shepherd forgot
his own Shepherd here and left 70.

ensnared him and where he has since

wider swath in Atlanta coondom since
he recently adjourned there.
