Another Regular Ovation

The Degree Of Honor In Holiday Attire

A Bride And Groom Made The Recipient Of A Beautiful Rug And A Regular Feast

The distinguishing feature of the Degree of Honor meeting last Monday evening was the feast of reason and cake, sandwiches and doughnuts, and the flow of soul and coffee. Yes, the event was extraordinary in another respect: The hall was graced by the presence of a real, live bride and groom - Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Shively nee Miss Agnes Flynn. A recess was called by Chief of Honor Mrs. Dodley Halford in order that the newly wedded couple might be given an opportunity to receive the congratulations of the lodge — Bro. Shively being the Master Workman in the A. O. U. W.  The bride looked lovely in pearly white, is an admirable woman, and Mr. Shively can congratulate himself on making such and excellent choice.

After the young married folks had been called in, and just prior to the feast, Mrs. Belle Sloss stepped up, and after making a very pleasing address to them, produced a beautiful rug, which the groom accepted with hearty thanks.

Those present were: J. C. Sloss and wife, F. C. Berendes and wife, John Berkin and wife, Rowland Rightenour and wife, Dan Merrill and wife, Dr. Leighton and wife, John Guthrie and wife, Richard Hammer and wife, Rev. Blythe and wife, S. A.

The following was copied from The News-Messenger, Fremont, Ohio, Wednesday, March 14, 1934, Page 1:

Elmer E. Jackson, 76, widely known pioneer resident of Fremont and Sandusky county was perhaps fatally burned, when flames destroyed his apartment at 417 South Front street about 2:30 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was taken to Memorial hospital in a police car where his condition is regarded as critical.

Mrs. Elta Eckenberger, Toledo; Mrs. L. Wireman, Detroit, Willard and Wayne Jackson, children of the injured man are at his beds, having been notified of the accident by police. Lloyd Jackson, of Minneapolis, another son, has also been informed of the tragic happening.

Reports Vary

Reports regarding the fire vary and police Wednesday morning launched at investigation to determine the cause. It is said another man had been in the Jackson apartment shortly before the fire was discovered. An early report said the fire was due to an over-heated hot plate but it was later determined that this equipment had not been burning during the night. Police say they have a clue as to the identity of the other man and he is to be questioned. James Burns, deputy state fire marshal of Norwalk, will also be called into the case.

Jackson, who is said to have been residing in Clyde recently, came to Fremont Wednesday and applied for a room at a boarding and rooming house owned and operated by Mrs. Rose Spattig, of 415 South Front street.

Took Room

Mrs. Spattig said that Jackson, unable to obtain quarters in her rooming house, agreed to rent a room in an annex in the rear of the rooming house. The apartment selected was formerly occupied by Jackson and is the center room in a wood structure. The front end is a garage and the room on the opposite side was occupied by Orville Riffle and his 12 year old son. Mrs. Spattig said that Jackson, after renting the room, went down town and returned to his quarters about 10 o’clock Tuesday night.

The first alarm of the fire was given by Orville Riffle who, with his son, escaped from the rapid advance of the flames that completely destroyed the annex. Riffle hammered at the door of the rooming house and aroused the occupants.

Mass Of Flames

When firemen arrived the annex was a seething mass of flames and the rear end of the boarding house was also burning. The flames from the burning structure case a great reflection and attracted a large crowd.

Firemen and police are of the opinion that Jackson, attired in underwear, had been sleeping until the fire contacted his bed and converted his room into an inferno. The man walked through the fire and made his exit through the only door opening into his apartment.

His clothing was burned from his body and he was conscious despite his terrible burns. He was taken to the hospital by Captain Pat McGuire and Patrolman Charles Johnson.

Damage $350

The contents of the annex, together with an auto owned by Mrs. Spattig was destroyed. The back end of the rooming house was also damaged. The loss, estimated at $350, is covered by insurance.

The fire was located in a thickly built district, but the snow fall on roofs prevented burning embers from contacting other structures.

Jackson is a native of Sandusky county and has practically spent his entire life in this locality. He was a cement contractor by trade. His wife preceded him in death 12 years ago.

It was not Ray McNabb, as reported, but his brother, Bert McNabb, who lured Myrtle May Shively to Toledo and deserted her.

McNabb Faces Serious Charge

A case has been filed in the circuit court here against Ray McNabb and William Stafford, in which the defendants are charged with larceny — the theft of a horse from the livery barn in Pleasant Lake.

Both of these young men, who are residents of Angola, are now held in jail at Auburn for a minor crime, to which they entered a plea of guilty and the case is held under advisement by the court.

But against Ray McNabb, who is the son of Bert McNabb, there rests a still graver charge, for which he will be held to answer, possibly, to the federal court. Myrtle May Shivelly, aged 14 years, daughter of Mrs. Edith Clark, who is employed at the Hendry hotel, is held in jail here of charge of delinquency, having been committed by Esquire Ramsay on the above charge, and will be made to appear as a witness against McNabb at the April term of the Steuben circuit court, or in the district federal court, if the case is taken there. The following, taken from the Toledo News-Bee, of March12th, will explain the cause and indicate the nature of the crime charged against McNabb:

“Is Lured From Home And Deserted Here”

“Myrtle May Shively, aged 14, who then police say was lured from her home in Angola, Ind., by a young man named McNabb, was found in a rooming house on Broadway, near Courtland ave., Tuesday afternoon. Local authorities were asked by her parents to find the girl.

“The girl told the officer that her companion deserted her. McNabb is reported to be held at Auburn, Ind., on a charge of burglary.. It is probable that he will be prosecuted by federal authorities here.”

At the request of Mrs. Clark, officer Domer Cassel went to Toledo last Thursday and brought her daughter home, and she is now held in the county jail as above stated.

McNabb Was Quickly Nabbed

After He Nabbed A Horse And Other Things

Is Charged With Committing An Assault On Small Girl - Other Neighboring News

(Special To The News)

ANGOLA, Ind,, March 22. —Myrtle May Shively, aged fourteen years, daughter of Mrs. Edith Clark, is held in jail here on the charge of delinquency having been committed by Esquire Frank Ramsey on the above charge, and will be made to appear was a witness against Ray McNabb, a young man aged nineteen years, of this city, at the April term of the Steuben circuit court, or in the district federal court, if the case is taken there.

Miss Shively was lured from this city by McNabb, and they went to Toledo, O., in which place McNabb deserted her, returning himself to this city. At the request of Mrs. Clark, officer Domer Cassel went to Toledo and brought her daughter home. Mrs.Clark’s testimonial against her daughter, or McNabb, can not have much weight in court, as she ran away from home herself when a girl with a man and was with him for a number of days. But McNabb will probably be made an example of, that other young men in this vicinity may learn that running away with young girls and not marrying them is not the right thing to do.

McNabb on returning from his trip to Toledo joined William Stafford, of this city, a young man of eighteen years, and together they went to Pleasant Lake and are alleged to have stolen a horse from a livery barn. The case against William Stafford and McNabb for larceny will be tried in the April term of the Stueben circuit court.

McNabb To Reformatory 

Stafford Put To Work

Judge Powers sentenced Ray McNabb in the Dekalb Circuit Court this week to the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville for a period of one to eight years, on the charge of grand larceny on which he was being held in connection with breaking into the school building near Summit a few weeks ago, and he has been taken to the reformatory.

In the case of William Stafford, who was with him, sentence was suspended during good behavior on the condition that the young man go to work steadily and show a disposition to improve his time. He has engaged to work on a farm. A more serious charge awaited McNabb had he been released, it being alleged that he enticed away with him Miss Myrtle Shively, the 14-year-old daughter of Mrs. Edith Clark, and prosecution would have followed. The young girl is now being detained by the sheriff of this county.

The girl to the keys and let him out. Her age is 14; she accompanied Davidson. Sylvia Richardson, who is employed as a domestic, made the discovery. The Shively girl and D. had been exchanging notes for a week.

Secured Escape Of Burglar Lover

Girl Held As “Trusty” In Angola Jail Liberated And Fled With Vandy Davison

Angola, Ind., April 17. — Miss Myrtle Shively, a pretty girl, aged 14 years, who has been held in jail here for some time as a witness in a white slave case, last evening effected the liberation of Vandy Davison, of Clear Lake, who was awaiting trial on the charge of house-breaking, and fled with him. The escape was discovered a short time afterward and a search of the pair was immediately begun.

The girl had assisted in the housework at the jail and was not locked up even a night. In her duties she assisted in serving meals to the prisoners and was on friendly terms with all of them. Her attachment to Davison had not been noticed.

Previous to liberating her lover she donned male attire and thus dressed she escaped with him. A description was telephoned broadcast last night by the sheriff and it is thought the couple will be apprehended.

Girl Aids Lover In Escaping From Jail

14-Year-Old Miss Dresses In Clothes Of Sheriff’s Son

By Associated Press.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, April 17. — Dressed in a suit of clothing belonging to the sheriff’s son, Myrtle May Shively, 14, a trusty at the Steuben county jail, last night secured the keys to the cell room, opened the cell in which was lodged Vandy Davison, awaiting trial on a charge of housebreaking, and escaped.

The Shively girl was held at the jail as a witness in a white slavery case and because of her youth and apparent willingness to remain and aid the state, had been allowed the liberty of the jail.

The sheriff and his deputies are now scouring the countryside in an effort to locate the couple. It is not believed they had time to catch a train and they are believed to be in hiding in the neighborhood.

Misplaced Confidence

Two Youthful Criminals Escape From Jail, But Are Retaken

Wednesday evening of last week, between seven and eight o’clock, there was a jail delivery in Angola when the sheriff did not turn the key. Locked in the jail was a young man by the name of Vandy Davidson, who is charged with housebreaking over in Clear Lake township. On the outside and within the mail home was Myrtle May Shively, aged about fifteen, who was held in custody by the sheriff on the charge of delinquency, but was especially being quency. Miss Shively had been given liberty to go about the jail residence, and in carrying food to the prisoners had become acquainted with Mr. Davidson, and together they made plans to escape. On the evening mentioned above, when the girl knew the sheriff would be away from home, as he had planned to go to Orland, she procured the keys from the cupboard in the kitchen, and while the family was busy in another part of the house, unlocked the jail, let out Davidson, relocked it and together they walked out the back kitchen door. They went east to the first street and then north to the Lake Shore railroad and followed the railroad track to the Bell school house near Ray, where they took the road east, and were in hiding the balance of the night. The next day they went to the home of Mr. Davidson’s people, where they claimed they had been married, but kept in the shade until Friday, when they went to Ray, with the intention, they say, of returning to Angola to give themselves up to the officers, but for some reason, they do not make very satisfactory, they went north and that evening were seen by a farmer west of Reading, who knowing the description of the parties wanted, telephoned a deputy sheriff at Camden, who took them in charge and they were later that evening brought to Angola. The fact of their escape was soon known to Sheriff Hershey’s family, and at once search for them was instituted, and now that they are in custody again, Mr. Hershey says he will know where to find them in the future, and the little, misguided, incorrigible Miss will have to be content to remain behind the bars in the ladies’ department of the jail, until taken to the girls’ industrial school at Indianapolis, as ordered by Judge Powers this afternoon.

Troublesome Pair Captured

Last Wednesday evening, as Sheriff Hershey was about to take the special train for Orland with about seventy of his fellow Masons, in the anticipation of having an enjoyable evening, free from official cares, the discovery was made that two of the prisoners at the jail, Miss Myrtle May Shively, who was being held on a commitment for delinquency and to appear as a witness in a case to be tried in the present term of court, and Vandy Davison, held to answer the charge of housebreaking and burglary, had escaped. The sheriff at once abandoned his proposed trip, and immediately planned to pursue and, if possible, recapture the fleeing prisoners. With an automobile and with the assistance of Night Police Cassel the official was soon on the road, but having first visited the Lake Shore depot and had then passenger train guarded. News of the jail-breaking was sent to various points to apprehend the fugitives. It was suspected that the couple would go to Clear Lake, which was Davison’s home, and so the sheriff and his deputies went in that direction. But morning came and the sheriff returned without a clue. Friday news was circulated here that Davison and his fair companion had been seen Thursday evening, or night, in the vicinity of Clear Lake and Friday evening at Ray. The sheriff again took the road and a little later was overhauled by a telephone messaged that his prisoners had been recognized by a farmer residing near Reading, or between Camden and Reading, win Michigan. So they were soon overhauled and invited to return with the officers to their former quarters at the county jail. Of course they returned. While in the jail Miss Shively was regarded as a willing prisoner, anxious to remain and appear as a witness in the trial of Bert McNabb, who some weeks since had taken her to Toledo, Ohio, where after remaining with her for a few days, he had deserted her in a boarding house, where her friends found her. She was therefore given much liberty and was not locked in. But it seems that something of an attachment had formed between Davison and herself, and at the former’s suggestion, as appears from a note found later, she undertook to assist him to his liberty. She knew that the key to Davison’s apartment was kept in the cupboard in the kitchen; she went to the cupboard and got the key, and with it she unlocked the door and Davison stepped outside. Myrtle then returned the key to the cupboard, and the two proceeded to “shake the dust” off the jail from their feet and to the enjoyment of liberty and the keen night air. They traveled in by-ways and sojourned in the swamp to escape public notice. But the story of their escapade traveled faster than they, and confronted them as soon as they came out in the open. So, it appears, that their scheme, howsoever shrewdly planned, did not prove to be she. Both will now have two charges, instead of only one to answer for in the open court and the penalty will not be lessened by their effort.

Writing Revealing, Shively Says

CHERAW (C-SJ) - How do you cross your T’s?

Ernest Shively of Cheraw says the more-or-less horizontal line on the top of the 20th letter of the alphabet can reveal some interesting things about you. In face, some persons have told him that the analysis of their characters according to their handwriting was “so accurate it was almost embarrassing”.

Shively, secretary of the Colorado Grapho-Analysis Society, can speak with authority. He has been studying handwriting since its analysis was demonstrated by a friend, Sidney Montague, a Canadian Northwest Mountie. Last year Shively gave almost 100 talks on handwriting,  conducted evening classes at Otero Junior College, and held four teacher’s workshops.

He received his training in grapho-analysis from the International Grapho-Analysis Society. All of the training in the one-year course is by mail. The course is released to a student only after the applicant has passed a type of entrance examination in longhand.

Professionals grading the preliminary test can screen potential forgers or other persons wishing to make illegal use of the course. As a precaution, Shively’s classes use only eight traits of writing. There is no possibility of a forger getting enough information from the short course of two three-hour sessions to help his business.

The International Society offers a post graduate or second year course dealing with special career problems and counseling. Shively hopes to use this counseling aid in what is called, “Ernest Shively Services”. However, he believes grapho-analysis ought to go beyond mere analysis of character - he believes it ought to include philosophy as well.

Shively is a former minister for the Church of the Brethren, taught high school for six years, and nows is a salesman for an investment syndicate. Because these phrases of his life made him realize the potential strength of grapho-analysis, he hopes to write a course on what he calls, “graph-dynamics” combining handwriting analysis, philosophy and salesmanship.

School, religion and home life create certain molds for characters, Shively points out. The person who resents any of these molds may feel so guilty that he fears an analysis of his handwriting may reveal his true traits, according to Shively.

“Traits are not good or bad in themselves. The way they are used determines whether they are good or bad,” Shively says. “If a person would learn his true traits, recognize them as his drives and learn to like himself better because he understands himself, eh would be happier, “the analysts from Cheraw says. Happier life is a part of the philosophy he hopes to incorporate in his article.

Handwriting changes with mood, occupation and growth, just as a person changes, Shively says. However, the basic part of the handwriting remains the same. For a true analysis of handwriting Shively advises three or four pages of long-hand written at three different times.

Among the Shively services are self-development projects such as home study of languages, graph-analysis, Montague executive tapes, and the newest addition - the Chamberlain Memorial Library. This is a lending library that developed after the deaths of Judge and Mrs. H. S. Chamberlain of Rocky Ford who willed Shively their library for a borrow-a-book-a-month club.

Shively offers program services on handwriting, a lecture featuring the Chamberlain library and other programs. He has counseling and resident classes in graph-analysis and grapho-dynamics.
