Freewater Man Held After Kidnapping Plot Claim
Edward Hall a 30 year old resident of Freewater is jailed in Walla Walla on suspicion of kidnapping following a claim he would inherit a million dollar estate in September. Mary Perkins a 14 year old of Milton is in the adjacent cell. Hall had courted the girl and fled after her father objected to marriage. The pair were seen together in Walla Walla after meeting in Prescott. The case appears to center on Hall's wealth fantasy and the girl’s guardianship.
