Remarkable Memory.

Mrs. w. J. Stanfield. a prominen; resident of Rison, heard much of the
 boys troubles and believing that she might be of some assistance to him, she called at the county jail The handsome youth won her favor and she called to see him several times. She was positive there was something about the boy that recalled her girl hood days and his resemblance to brother of Nina Reed, her chum of school days, prompted her to take a further interest in the case. She knew of the kidnapping years ago and figured that the youthful prisoner might be the long sought boy She wrote her friend Mrs. DeJarnett in Memphis and telephone message from her few days later requested Mrs Stanfield to look over the boys right eye for scar. She found it there and his complexion. his age, everything was favorable. Mrs. Stan field had never seen the boys father. but she knew Mrs. DeJarnett so we'll she felt sure 1t was her son. She communicated the fact that the scar was on the boys forehead to Mrs. De Jarnett
 Mrs. DeJarnett arrived at Rison Thursday She positively identified her son at the jail and there was happy reunion when they met. The boy told her he knew himself as Ed ward Holeman. He said he was reared in Cutler, Illinois. and that his father was known as Holeman. A. though the boy will not reveal any in- cidents of his life for the past six or eight years, those who have talked with him believe that his father was with him on the night of the burglary at Ne wEdinburgh.
