True Tales About Ohio
Concluded from page II

~ at each other, much to the dis
comfiture of both
Adonijah Parrish was the school
teacher at the McElroy district
school, down in Guernsey County.
and he boarded at the home of
Anthony Jones. On the snowy night
Of January 5, 1884, Parrish was just
beginning to snore beneath his
blankets and pull up his knees to
keep warm, when he was brought
out of his approaching slumber by
the creaking of a door in the Jones
dwelling. Somebody had been admit
ted to the house. That was a bit un-
usual at that time Of night.
The teacher kept wondering about
it through most of the night. He
just couldn't go to sleep. Then, to-
wards morning his suspicious were
further aroused when he heard the
stealthy departure of the person who
had been admitted during the night.
''Uncle Perry
Next morning Parrish learned from
a young son of LONESOME of his
| own pupils-that the cautious visitor
of the night before had been "Uncle
Perry" Instead of opening school
that morning, the teacher hurried to
an adjoining district, now Harmony,
| and told of his discovery.
From Harmony, Robert Marshall,
Thomas Rannels, James c. Bay, f.
| Burt and Robert kells accompanied
| Parrish to the Jones house and from
there took up the trail, which thought
it had been sc1aped over, was easily
followed in the snow.
The trail ended in a deep ravine,
| about a mile and a half away. High
| projecting rocks walled the ravine
and it was filled with deep, dark
recesses-ideal for an ambuscade.
| The men crept forward cautiously.
Suddenly one of them cried out:
"There he is--by the rocks!"
The concealed man stood up, pistol
in hand and threatened to shoot the
| first man who came towards hfm.
But when the pursuers began to close
around him, the fugitive started to
run. Marshall and Rannels both
fired and the runner fell, shot in his
leg.
Answers Description
For the first time the posse got
good look at him. He was Walter
G. Perry, who lived five miles east
of Cumberland, Guernsey County,
near what now is called Blue Bell.
Perry was "short and stout-made,
with piercing black eyes" His dis
position was not so quiet. He al
ready had been under suspicion be-
cause of his description and mode of
life.
Perry's captors carried him to the
cabin of Clark Williams, where his
wound was dressed and later that
evening was taken to Cambridge,
where he was jailed.
He was tried and convicted at the
April term of court in ~Tuscarawas
County and on April 10 was.
sentenced to five years imprisonment
in the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus.
His wound did not heal and towards
the last part of his first year in
prison, Perry was pardoned by the
governor and liberated. He went
back to his home in Guernsey County
but soon, with his family, moved
away and never again was heard
from.
After Perry's departure evidence
came up that he was connected with
group of counterfeiters. About 200
yards east of his home in a ravine
slot was found cut in a tree and
near it a long lever, which he used
to press imprints of coins in short
blocks of seasoned wood.
