Hiles Still Missing From Reform School
James Hiles, 20, escaped from the West Virginia Industrial School for Boys at Pruntytown and remains at large. He had attempted an assault on a twelve year old girl after his getaway. Hiles was sentenced in 1923 for an earlier assault as state police expand the search with distributed descriptions. Parents say the girl suffered no lasting harm. An English preacher quote about women prompts a reader to call him a liar, illustrating a reaction to perceived gender commentary.
