Was It Win. Hay?
The ThompHontown "Globe" pul
lishes a letter this week iu which the
statement is made that a man by the
llama of Varner of McAlisterville has
identified the picture of the burglar
who died in the Middleburg jail as that
of his brother-in-law, William Bay,
formerly of McAlisterville.
The correspondent to the "Globe"
says that Bay left a wife and two chil
dren some years ago and that Bay is a
pensioner.
The prisoner at the jail gave his age
as 50 years and if that Is true, he was
only 10 years of age in 1804. There Is
another story alloat here that Win.
Bay resides at Oriental. This has not
been vererled.
Tuesday evening the Millcrsburg
"Sentinel" told us by phone that the
picture published in the Post last
week was that of Wm. Bay, ' who had
lived in one of the houses owned by
him and that he had moved away on
tbe 30th of last May. The picture was
identified by half a dozen people in
Mlllersburg as that of Wm. Bay. It
remains to be seen whether this Is true
or not.
