Lewis Ash of the county, hiding from arrest, was captured near Mr. Frank Ash's on Sunday night by Sheriff Davis and jailed. He has prior punishment in Oglethorpe county for stealing a pistol and later stole clothing from his employer, then worked for Mr. Lipscomb in Tall County before taking more clothes and fleeing. Arrested after word from Bucktown, Tennessee, he is accused of stealing $50 from a room and jumping a board bill, with Tennessee penalties noted as harsher. Ash, about 20 to 24, had only $44 when arrested and was released yesterday on a habeas corpus. Attorney Hull says the Oglethorpe warrant was bogus.
