Kidnapper Returns Boy to Parents After Trail of Tales
Frightened by newspaper reports Crawford Sewell son of Dr J A Sewell of Codege Park was returned home Tuesday night from Jonesboro by the itinerant who had taken him. The boy said he accompanied the kidnapper trusting his mother would consent and only realized trouble when the man tried to trade the horse in Jonesboro. Jonesboro authorities held the agent until contact with relatives, then released him and gave Crawford fare money home plus 30 cents spending money. Sewell emphasized no hardship but said the ordeal would deter his son from wandering.
