MARUEDMAN ACCUSED OF ELOPING WITH GIRL N. B. W. Sistrunk Arrested in Green ville at Instance of Father of Miss Louise W. Norris. The State. Greenville. July 17.-Charged in a waant swori out by the father of Miss Louise W. Norris of Greenwood, who had eloped from h;er home in Greenwood with him, with being a fig-ive from justice, N. E. W. Sis trunk, a merry-go-round operator, a-bu,.t 24 years of age, whose home is in Soartanburg, where his wife and her mother live, was taken into eus tody by the officers here today and helki until late in t.he afternoon, when his mother-in-la-w, Mrs. Emma C. CaL.h of Spart inburg, said to be worth con iderably aiore than $0,000, gave bond in th'e sum of $500 for his ap pearanee before the court in Oconee county within t.he next three months. The father of the girl (she is about 22 years old) came here in company wiT :is friend. Mr. J. K. Durst, pres ident of the bank in Greeiwood, and took tile young woman home. She confesses to having left McCormick, wV1ere she had been visiting, with Sis trun1 and to having following him to auusta. Atlanta and back to Sene ca. wlere lie was arested and where sae naid his tine of $40. She drew ot tie 'bank 3$00, all the money .slie ad, and left with the man whose wife was in Spartanburg. Wiien the train from Seneca arriv td today the conductor informed Of tiee! MeLeskey of some trouble the man had been in in Seneca, and that he was then in company with. the girl. Sistrunk was at once arrested and the girl went to the Mansion house, where she rt gistered as Biss Louise W. Nor ris, Greenwood. Aiter his arrest Sistrunk sent a w.ire to his wife an&she and her moth er eame to the city at once. In the meantime the father had gone before Mazistrate, Stradley and sworn out a warrant, charging the mal wth being a. fugitive from justice. Sitsrunk went before the justice of the peace with the wife and her mother and Mrs. Cash gave a certified bond for $500. The man accompanied his wife to Spartanburg in the evening. At first it was thought that the charge of abduction would be lodged aganst Sistrunk, but it seems that such a c.harge could not be substa,n iated. the woman being old enough to know her mind, so it was said by the attorneys for the man. Just what chrze will be preferred against him is a~matter of conjecture. Mr. Norris is one of the best known citizens of Greenwood. For a number of years he has been the agent of the Seaboard Ar Line railroad there and for a long time his daughter worked in t.he office with him. Reeentbly she went to McCormick to visit friends and while there met Sistrunk, who w.as operating a merry-go-round .and who~ boarded at the same house with he. He is alleged to have persuaded her to leave wth him. They wvent to Auzsta and from t.here to Atlanta. They; are alleged to have registered as m'n and wife at hotels they visited.

The announce ment to this reffeet came as a m' prise to all of t.he patrolmen. For more than a month thieves have operated here and none have been caught.

'he home of t.he mayor was 'entered not long ago and $60 taken from his' pants pockets, while he and his wife nd ba'by slept in the room. Chief of Plie Kennedy was not slighted, the burglars breaking into 'his home, but not stealing anything.. Further aection of Mayor Mahon later tonight in issuing permission to citizens to arm themselves may bring about a clash between the executive department *and the police commis sion, the latter officials claiming 'tha,t the mayor has exceeded his authority. Chief Kennedy of the police de partment said tonight the had only t wo men out in uniform. all the night patrolmen being in plain elothes and patroling pasrts of the city where rob beries have been of most frequent oceur.rene.
