Reporting the matter to Earl Mer ritt, a neighbor, they called the sher iff, but before his arrival Fletcher had taken the young lady drunk and sick as she was. in his car and made a get away. The other man, McNutt, was still at the home when the sher iff arrived and was arrested and taken to Plattsmouth by the sheriff, where he was lodged in jail to await a hearing.
