NJ. Briggs of this city, a church and
mission worker, former business man,
and, during the Baehr administration,
assistant superintendent of the War
rensville farm colony, is being hunted
by federal authorities as fugitive
from justice.
Failure to find him has led them to
the conclusion that he has fled to
escape service of the warrant sworn
out by the Rev. A. Frank Houser,
pastor of the Trinity Baptist church,
charging him with violation of the
Mann act in taking Cora Meegs of

employers since March 16, when he
explained to r. T. Montgomery, his

that ne had been summoned to court
and had to leave Immediately.

charges, he must be unbalanced" his

the home of the Rev. Mr. Houser,
where she has been living during the
investigation which led to the Rev.
Mr.. Houser swearing out the war
rant for Briggs.
HE told me he was single, and
even talked of our getting married.
My parents also thought he was
single. He came to see me several
evenings a week, and l was in the
habit of meeting him at the store
often.
