He had moved from Haverhill to work as a clerk and joined the Salvation Army, where he met the Fowler girl and her family. Police pursued Freeman across Newburyport and other cities as reports of her disappearance stirred the community. A mistaken call to the exemption board led Freeman to the police station, where he was arrested rather than examined.
