-
JOHNSON, OF TAMPA, COMES
CHILDREN ADOPTED BY
BRUNSWICK PEOPLE.
Psf IS A VERY SAD ONE
After Becoming Infatuated With Little
Girl, Mr. and Mrs. Bohne
Had to Give
Her Up.
C. A. Johnson, of Tampa, father of
the two little girl children who were
adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Ross Hurray,
of this city, has been in Brunswick
for two or three days, and loft last
night for his home, taking one of tin
little girls witu him.
The story of the two little girls
has been published in thiso column
before, and is familiar to our leaders.
Some year or two ago. Mrs. Ross
Jhirgay was visiting relatives in Tam
pa. While there she scoured these
two little girls from the Childrens’
Homo in that city Where they pad
been placed by their cither.
On returning to Bruns wb k ,v. ■
lhtrgay gave the oldest one to Mr
and Mrs. J. H. Bohne. who have since
had the child, Rnd who have made it
ly'nd y nd loving parents.
malty, some two or three month:;
ago. Mr. Johnson decided that lie
wanted his children buck. He railed
at the Childrens' Home, but was told
trial the children were not-there and
those in charge at the home would not
tell him where the children were. He
at once employed a lawyer and fought
the case. He said the children were
not placed there on account of ill
treatment, hut merely as a boarding
place. Tae ease was tried, and tin
Jury decided that the children should
ho returned to ii.m.
Uoth Mr. and Mrs. Burgay and Mr.
and Mrs. Bohne had become greatly
infatuated with the little oner, and
they received Hie host treatment possi
ble. The little girls, too, had grown
fond of their foster parents, and when
the oldest one left Mr. and .Mrs
Bohne to return home with ner -ather,
tears crowded the little ones eyes.
The other child ha: ~,eeii ill for
some time and. after reaching i ie city
Mr. Johnson ■tedded to j.>t li remain
with Mr. and Mrs. Burgay. The father ]
was Seen bv n >,ev.o; report'-)’ Jr I

“I ha.) no reason to believe that the

anything but kind and prop i and li
she had remained under tneir core and

to be estimable people, and only for

Georgia.
He has now been 111 hiding in the
Savannah liver swantps the upper
part ot tin- county. He has h-en seen
. everal tinn-s since coming to Georgia

an article as the famous Washington
outlaw. He met a gentleman in the
road the other day, and at the* point of
a pisi.v. compelled him to undress and
go to his nome without any wearing
apparel. Another time he went up
to a grist mill not far from his swamp
hiding place and compelled the miller
to pul a bushel of meal on the back of
a iiins . Then he mounted, said good
morning and rode away.
