cate their son.
They did not see him until Au
gust, 1921, when the boy returned
with the circus to Lincoln. It is al
leged that he has stayed with the
show, and has followed the big top
about the country. The attorney de
clared that he could show by the
boy's own letters to Lincoln people
that his morals had been lowered.
The attorney for the defense de
clared that the evidence would show
that the lad had been ill treated at j
home, that his father had beat him '
and called him vile names, and that
the lad took refuge with the circus.

boy went home and told his parents .
that he had secured a job with the '
circus. !
Jacob was in the ninth grade when
he left home, it is said by the prose- ,
cution, and was known as a clean
young fellow.
