finally succeeded after it was learned that Nash's Mother who lives at
Hinton Iowa was forwarding letters to her son at Valley City, South

seemed certain to succeed but as often the fugitives became wary and
slipped away. Finally Nash was arrested at Hurley, S. D., and Minnie
Nash was taken in custody at Miller, S.D. They were taken to Sioux Falls
jail. Nash and the woman who accompanied him came to Sioux City from
Davenport last summer. While Nash worked as an automobile mechanic, the
women was employed in a basement restaurant near Fourth and Jones

girl was witness against Nash and Minnie Nash. Immediately afterwards
