ALEXANDRIA. Va, November 2, 1911.
After being for nearly four years in the
hands of gypsies-not the real gypsies. but
Americans who follow the life of nomads
Joseph Zones. fifteen years old. rather
pale and haEgard is this morning nestled
beside good, warm fire at the home Of
his aunt. who is his legal guardian.
The lad reached the home of his aunt a
few days ago. after being in camp with
the gypsies for four years and attending
to their horses. tramping with them from
place to place He said their business
consisted Of fortune telling and trading
horses.
The lad was brought into the police
court today on a warrant sworn out by
X r. Cole Of Orange county, Va. 1t
was set forth in the warrant that the
lad, in addition to stealing SIS from Cole,
also took away two hypodermic syrinses
valued at s.. together with a pistol
valued at s..
Camping in Orange County.
The warrant was sworn out before a
Justice Of the peace in Orange county,
where the gypsies are said to be camp
ing. and Cole brought it along, his idea
being to have the boy turned over to
him.
Justice Cation refused to permit the
lad to be turned over to Cole. on the
ground that he had no authority to
show that he was entitled to take the
boy back. He was also more or less
uncertain as to the nature of the case.
The boy was apparently happy when
the court announced It's decision, and
returned home with his aunt.
Cole, who is alleged to be connected
with the gypsy band, left police court
apparently dissatisfied, for he had ex-
pected to get the boy. The court also
refused to return the warrant to him,
and announced its intention to return
it to the sheriff of Orange county. The
pistol and other articles were, however,
given to Cole.
Young Zones has been with the gypsies
in Orange for the past three weeks.
The police say that he told them that
the reason he took the articles in ques-
ton was that the gypsies sold his
two dogs, and failed to make any re-
turn for them.
When the hoy was taken away to lead
the life of a nomad he was employed
at a Washington bakery, it is said. He
was at one time employed at one of
the glass factories here.
