EVIDENCE
Strongly Points To Violation
OF White Slave Act
By The Arrest In This City
Of Earl Anderson

A rather melodramatic story has
been unearthed with the arrest of Earl
Anderson on a charge of suspicion.
Evidence strongly points to violation
of the Mann White Slave act on the
part of Anderson. The girl in the af-
fair resides in the northern portion Of
the city, while Anderson's home is in
Indianapolis.
1t seems that Anderson became ac-
quainted with the girl the latter part
of July. He was in the city at the
time with carnival company and had
charge of the motordrOme. The two
became enamored of each other, and.
when the carnival left the city, the
girl was induced by Anderson to ac-
company him. This she did.
In September, the young lass return
ed home, having left Anderson in An
napolis, Md. On Nov. 80, Anderson
came here and made representations
to the girls father that the couple
were married and he had returned to
claim his wife. The father was inclin-
ed to be bit skeptical and withheld
judgment. Anderson continued to live
at the girls home.
In the meanwhile, the father of the
girl had quietly instigated little in.
vestigation on his own account which,
last week, brought forth that Ander'
son has a wife an child living in In
dianapolis.
The story was outlined to Chief
Parker who Immediately placed An
derson under arrest on charge OF
suspicion. The details of the story
made the chief feel that Anderson
should be prosecuted in the nationa
courts on White Slavery charge and
accordingly he got into communication
with U. s. District Attorney Fl. e
Burns of. Columbus, and told him thu
circumstances of the case. Burn
| stated that federal officers would b.
sent over to Mt. Vernon after AndeI
1 son.

ment will probably be returned charg.
ing him with rape.
The hearing to determine the de-
pendency and neglect Of the two
Stewart children, Eliza Ann, aged 6,
and Nancy Irene, aged 4, was held in
juvenile court before Judge wilkins
on Thursday. The hearing consumed
most of the day. Is was held in the
common pleas court room. There
were about two hundred persons pres
ent in the court room, while twenty
five or more witnesses were present
from Jefferson township to testify in
the case.
The testimony Of the witnesses dis
closed the fact that the Stewart fami-
| ly, which resided north Of Greers-
vile, was in destitute circumstances.
The witnesses testified that this con-
dition existed for a period of from
one to six years. 1t was shown that
the children were not properly cloth
ed and that the family had but little
to eat. The young children had been
without clothing for SO long that
scales had formed on their skins.
Through the kindness of Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. F. Kerst of Greersville, the
two little girls appeared at the hear.
ing in new clothes and shoes and
with their faces and hands clean. The
little girls have been at the Kerst
home since last Sunday and they
have been bathed several times, their
hair cut and provided with new cloth
ing.
The rags which were on the chill
dren when discovered by the officials
at their home last Sunday, were ex
hibited at the hearing Thursday and
attracted considerable interest. II
seemed almost incredible that sucf
rags could be worn by human beings
for clothing
The fact was brought out at the
hearing that the step-daughter, Opa
Young, was soon to become mothel
and according to Stewards own con
fession to the officials he is the faith
er of the unborn child.
The father and mother took thu
witness stand in their own behalf a
the hearing, although they were toll
10y the prosecutor that they need no
do so If they thought they would in
criminate themselves in any way
However, both determined to taxi
the stand. The father stated tina
during the month of December he hat
earned but 50 and that was all tn
family had to live on. 1t was brough
out that year and a half ago he re
, ceived $210 from the girls father
: George Young, for the support of tn
step-daughter, but he could not az
count for the money and how 1t wa
spent. He further testified that he RI
ceived 81 per month from Mn Youn
f for the care of his step-daughte
