Carpenter Takes Abused Girl
Home With Her
Today.
DRUM CHANGES HIS PLEA

Guilty to Assault on Help

Present idications are that Beulah
ne Hart, the thirteen year old girl
vhose case attracted more than ordi-
nary interest since her plight became
Known to the police, will have bright
r. and more cheerful life in the future
This morning Mrs. Louis Witch wife
If 4 Keokuk carpenter, called at police
headquarters and the girl was turned
over to her. With conditions proving
satisfactory the girl will probably be
adopted into the Witch home.
The De Hart girl was brought to
Keokuk last fall by a family named
Drum, from Ottumwa, her parents
having died a short time previous. A
few weeks ago the girl ran away from
the Drum home, following a series of
vhippings administered by Drum and
his wife, The girl wandered into the
country, where she was found and
brought back to Keokuk and since that
time has been sheltered at the police
station. An investigation by the po-
lice showed that the story OF the in
human treatment at the hands Of the
Drums, was true, and numerous par
ties, both in Keokuk and out of Keo-
kuk, offered to take the girl and give
her a good home. The parties who
offered to give her home in every
case we're perfectly able to do ais they
said, and no trouble was experienced
IN finding suitable place for the girl,
where she will be given good home
and sent to school. In addition to re-
peated whippings given her by the
Drums, the girl says they would not
permit her to attend school, but chose
tc have her do the family work in
stead.
\ few days ago an information was
fled in the superior court against
Drum, charging him with assault and
battery on the girl. He entered plea
OF not guilty and being unable to fur
nish bond, was committed to Jail.
Now Drum comes and changes HIS
mind about the not guilty plea, and
substitutes plea of guilty. which was
accented conditionally Drum secured
his release by paying the costs of his
arrest, and was sentenced to thirty
days in Jail. The sentence was sus-
pended upon his promise to leave the
city.
The girl left this morning with Mrs.
Witch, and is apparently pleased
with her surroundings. The De Hart
slrl appears to be a remarkably good
grl. She has had stormy time of 1t
since the death of her parents, but it
IS thought now that life win appear
brighter to her and worth while.
