Miles son of Ed - kidnapped

Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 7 February 1896
 
New Ross, Feb. 6—Yesterday morning the thirteen year old boy of Wash Miles, of Jamestown, was taken away from home by two toughs from that place. The boy was dispatched on morning train west. The originator of the deed is supposed to be a man  by the name of Culverson, who has spent time in the reform school and has a considerable record. All the trains were watched both here and at Jamestown., but they evaded the efforts of the police. Mr. Miles hastened here thinking that they might put him off here, but no one had seen him, so in the afternoon he went to Crawfordsville, where the abductor had first gone. When he arrived there they had left that place. Mr. Miles returned home last night greatly worried over the horrible deed.
