Sept. 22 The general interest excited throughout the country for the capers of Ogletree, the kidnapper, led the Constitution's representative to seek an interview with Joe Allen White, the little boy who has just escaped the clutches of the demon. The little boy has been so much sought after that it was great difficulty that I could get him from the crowd to hear his story, which here follows: ENTICED AWAY My name is Joe Allen White. I am nine years old. I was at home when I first saw the man who stole me. It was Wednesday, August 28th. He asked me to go down to the spring to show him where some cows were and when we got there, he picked me up and toted me a half a mile. He then put me down and then told me I had to go with him to Tennessee and work in a saw mill. It was about nine o'clock in the morning. We traveled through the woods most of the time and pssed through a great many swamps. We staid in the woods the first night and I had nothing to eat until dinner the next day after I was stolen. He told me that his name was McBride and that he lived in Tennessee and owned a saw mill. He called me Lee. I got nothing to eat from Thursday until Friday at dinner. We did not sleep in but two white people's houses all the rest of the time. WHIPPED WITH A HICKORY When I was at Paint Rock, about three miles from home, I got a little behind and hid. He came back, found me and when we got to Keel's mountain he cut a hickory and whipped me. I had dinner nearly every day when I was with him but never had anything to eat more than once a day. McBride had five dollars but paid for nothing. He begged everything. He got a pair of shoes and a hat. He had no pistol but talked about having one. We traveled every day and some nights. He whipped me a second time because I could not keep up and a third time because I talked. He got me a pair of shoes at Sand Mountain about 50 miles from home, but my feet had got so sore I could not wear them. HEARD THE DOGS BARK We traveled all day last Tuesday until one o'clock at night and was fixing to lie down when we heard the dogs bark on our tracks. He then told me that if the dogs caught me, they would eat me up and told me to follow him. We ran into the swamps and woods until four o'clock Wednesday evening, when they found me and he got away. I had not had anything to eat since Monday and had not rested a day since I was stolen, except a part of Sunday at Oak Level. A good many times when we were traveling he said he wanted to get something to eat for me and him. He then tied my hands together and tied them to a bush; and went and got something to eat and a great many times, ate it all and gave me none. After I was found I was taken to Mr. J.J. Dennis, and kindly cared for there until today. He brought me to Newnan. THE FATHER'S STORY J.C. White, the father says: " I will leave to home tomorrow via Atlanta and stop at the National Hotel. I discovered that my son was gone in four hours. I knew by the next morning he was stolen and have been in pursuit ever since. I think Charles Ogletree is a thief. I live in Jackson, Alabama near Gurley tank. The people have been kind enough to contribute money to get us home, but can't know whether enough, until I reach Atlanta and ascertain the cost. The boy is a timid country child and it is impossible to get further details from them. ------ WHITESBURG News Married on Sept. 18th by Rev. R.J.
