Monday night ho was takr en to Nortonville not by officers of the law and a complaint was filed against him before Squire Brown who issued a warrant for him on the charge of grand larceny. He pleal guilty to 'Squire Brown; but next morning when taken from ail and learning the Hudson's were gone he told 'Squire Brown that he was innocent and why he made the confession to save his life. Tuesday he was taken to Oskaloosa and placed in jail. In a day or two he was bailed out by friends to whom he related his experience. They investigated, found the place and the tree where he was strung up.

Evidently a great wrong had been perpetrated en the boy. It was plain why he confessed to save his life. Strange and Bishop refused to pay the orders given Hudson.

The case came here on a chango of venue from Nortonville. The costs in this suit amomnt to about 75.
