Name
Esther Hudspeth Run-A-Way Article Esther Hudspeth, a thirteen-year-old girl, was taken into custody by the police Tuesday night as she alighted from a Wabash train from Blanchard. The arrest of the girl was through a telegram from William Hockabout, her stepfather. The girl told the police that her reason for running away was on account of harsh treatment from her stepfather. The girl gave the police the name and address of an aunt, a Mrs. Maud Hudspeth, 160 Vine Met. Council Bluffs, and she was turned over to the care of her aunt. The mother of the child arrived in Council Bluffs Wednesday afternoon, and upon persuasion by Rev. Mr. DeLong the girl was induced to return home with her. Hockabout, the stepfather, denied to Chief of Police Froom that he had ever mistreated the child, but said that her trouble was way- wardness and that xhe would not brook correction. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99021999/1910-06-10/ed-1/seq-5/
