Altar-Bent Pastor Jailed as Abductor

A 33-year-old Baptist preacher, Rev. George Washington Rollins, faced a preliminary hearing on kidnapping charges after allegedly taking Frieda Ogle to Georgia to marry. Frieda, turning 12 today, remained in love with Rollins per her statements and guardian. The episode follows Rollins’ July arrest after a run to Atlanta and back. Separate Milwaukee case: a 14-year-old runaway and a 68-year-old farmer wed under a forged plan, with guardians seeking annulment.
