Jenningsville Agog Over Disappearance of Man and Girl.
Says yesterday Athens Evening News; "Chief of Police Mulligan looking
for B.G. Emmons, a man about 40 years of age, who disappeared Wednesday
afternoon from the little village of Jenningsville near Laceyville, accompanied
by Miss Sarah Donahue, the pretty 15 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
R. M. Donahue of that place. Information received here stated that
the couple when last seen were in the Lehigh depot at Laceyville where
they purchased tickets for Athens and left on train No. 197. They
are supposed to be somewhere in this vicinity. "Cheif Mulligan believes
that they got off the train at the depot here and then boarded a trolley
car for Waverly, where they could easily make their escape by three different
railroads. However a close watch will be kept here by the police,
and officers in Sayre and Waverly have been notified to arrest the couple
if found. Emmons is about 40 years of age, has gray hair slightly
mixed with red, large black eyes and a smooth face with a reddish complexion
and is of medium height. When last seen he wore black clothes.
"It is alleged that Emmons is married and because of some family fifficulty
he has not been living with his wife. If he is found he will probably
be held to answer for the charge of abduction. It is a serious charge
and friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Donahue will do all that is in
their power to bring the man to justice." April 1912, towanda
paper.
