RAN AWAY TO ESGAPE ABUSE Tho Boys' Body Covered With Bruises From Boatings and Klckings To bo Returned to St. John's Homo. HE identity of John O'Kourko, tho twelve-year-old boy referred to in the Herald of the last two' days, has been established. Yos terday morning Chief Burgess Smith and Poor Director Tracoy took the boy to Mahanby City, determined to locate his stopping place before he was arrostod on the streets of town on Monday night for vagrancy. The boy wept-bitterly at tho depot and offered rosistanco when 'ho was taken on the train to go to Mahanoy City. Burgess Smith consoled the boy by telling him that if it was found that tbo people he had lived with were his foster parents and that they had abusod him he would not be re turned to thom. On tho way to Mahanoy City the boy gavo his history. He said that a family named McCall, residing at CjIo's patch, .took him from St. John's Homo in Philadelphia. That they put him at work in a breaker and abused him. Thoy first sent him to the Boston Kun breaker, which is about a milo and a half from Mahanoy City, and subsequently got him a place in a breaker nearer the town. Messrs. Smith and Tracey took the boy before Kov. Hennigan, of St. Canicus church. The priest identified the boy and spoke favorably of him, but did not speak of tbo McCall's in complimentary terms. A neighbor ol the McCalls was next seen and ho very reluctantly stated that the boy had receivod a severe beating on Sunday last. Tho foster mother, who is the wifo of Patrick McCall, was next seen. She at once upbraided the boy and behaved in such a manner that Burgesa Smith was very unfavorably improssed. Sho wanted to tako charge of tho youngster, but Smith said that it was evident to him that the boy was not being treated right and that he should be returned to the Homo in Philadelphia. ' Mrs. McCall then said, "Weil, take him along." "Has bo got any clothing besides what ho is wearing7" "Yes, but he is good enough as ho i'. Tako him along." Burgess Smith insisted upon going to tho McCall residonce. Whilo tho boy was un dressing himself to wash positive ovidence of ill-treatment mado themsolvoa apparent for tbo first time. There were large black and bluo spots on the boy's left side and bis legs below the knees woro covered with bruises. . The Burgees asked tho boy how ho be came so bruised. The boy taid that Mr. McCall kicked him in the side. The boy said, "Papa kicktd inc." Then turning to Mrs. McCall he added, "Because I had a piece of tobacco you whipped mo with a club." Chief Burgesi Smith says that tho be havior of the woman was such that he re gretted that sho and her husband were not within the limits of this town so that he could prosocuto both for cruelty. The boy was brought back to town and is now with tho family qf Chief Burgoes Smith, Several people have offered to adopt the boy, but Mr. Smith is making arrangements to send him back to the Home in Philadelphia so that any one who wishes him must adopt the usual measures.
