The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. June 28, 1892
Savannah, Ga., June 25.-- Alice White was found guilty today of abduction.  She 
was implicated in the sensational kidnaping of Ella Holmes, a thirteen-year-old 
white girl, for immoral purposes.  Ella, it will be remembered, ws concealed in 
a trunk while the detectives were searching for her, and was subsequently put 
thorugh a bogus marriage ceremony with Percy Sibly, and then taken into the 
country.  Alice White, although but nineteen years old, is regarded as one of 
the toughest and most abandoned white women in Savannah.  It is believed she 
will get the full penalty of the law -- seven years in the penitentiary.  Pearl 
Pendegrast, principal in the abduction, will be put on trial next week.  

Isaac Simons has cheated the gallows.  He died in the county jail this morning 
from fever.  He brutally murdered Punch Hogans and was under sentence of 
death.
