Two Are Bound Over for Kidnapping Girl
Montesum Georgia December 9 An unusual kidnapping case saw Ed Hamilton and George Norton bound over to the superior court on a felony charge. The presiding proecutor F M Shores maimed his 17 year old daughter who was enticed from his home at Maton and kept hidden by the Reynolds Show company. Shores followed them to Montezuma, found the troupe at the opera house, and demanded his daughter. The troupe hid Miss Shores in a trunk and let the man and officer depart. They allowed the girl down a window with a rope and Hamilton and Norton fled with her into the country. They were captured this morning and a warrant issued for the entire show troupe, with trial expected to convict all bound over. The Montezuma populace is deeply stirred, with many supporting the father. Hamilton resides at Montezuma. Norton is said to have ties in Atlanta. The prosecution believes each will be convicted.
