Boys, confesses to
the Crime.

Sharon, Pa.-YieldinG to a longing
George Burrows Keaster returned a
few days ago to the rural district of
Clarion county, just over the Mercer
county line, and in so doing cleared up
a mystery of many years standing.
In the early eighties William Keas-

between Know and COlensburG, mar
rled a widow with two sons, ten and
twelve. Shortly after the marriage
the boys disappeared and a search
failed to reveal their whereabouts.
The circulation of a story that Keas

breaking up the home. The accusation
so preyed on his mind that Keaster be-
came insane and was committed to
state hospital, where he died.

On the date of his commitment he

the eldest boy and had been forced to
repeat his act to prevent the youngest
from accusing him. He said that the
bodies of the boys were buried in the
garden near his home. A search of
the premises failed to reveal them.
Several days ago there appeared in
the locality of the old Keaster home
a stranger who claimed to be the elder
of the boys
The wanderlust called the boys to
the West; they crept out of bed, left
the house, boarded freight train and
finally reached the state of Washing
