GIRL CAPTIVE OF
GYPSIES 3 YEARS
Louise Mitchell Tells of Kidnap
ing and Her Marriage to
V Chiefs Son.
i4 _
New York.—Kidnaped by gypsies
w^en her family lived at Roanoke. Va.,
forced to marry the “prince” of a
gypsy band and to tell fortunes to all
comers during four years of wrandering
through the south, Louise Mitchell, 18
years old, has been reunited to her
family through a chance meeting with
an elder sister in Newark, N. J.
She is a younger daughter of Louis
Mitchell, coppersmith, who lives in
ilylhmond Hill, L. I.
Her adventure became known when
her father took her to the district at
torney’s office in Brooklyn to learn
M arricd in Accordance With Some
Weird Gypsy Ceremony.
they could obtain redress. To
Peter A. McCabe, assistant district at
torney, he outlined her experience as
he had learned it from her.
Mr. Mitchell in 1915 lived at Roan
oke, Va., with his wife, two daughters
andlfc^n, when Louise disappeared.
Th^^imily was frantic, but never
gave up hope. Last week the elder
daughter, visiting in Newark, spied
her young sister on the street. She
embraced her and took her home to
Richmond Hill.
Louise explained that she had been
captured by a gypsy band headed by
a man who called himself “Gregory
John.” Gregory fancied her as a wife
for his son Joe, and in a few months
»py were married in accordance with
me weird gypsy ceremony. Two
years ago, the girl i dated, she bore
the son a child, whom the gypsies still
possess.
From the time of her kidnaping the
band roved all over the South in a
couple of automobiles, the girl related,
stopping here and there to gather in
the shekels. They made her pose as
a “queen,” she said, and forced her
to tell fortunes wherever they stopped.
The band drifted north this summer,
and was in the outskirts of Newark
whe% she met her sister. The girl
led her family to where it had been,
but it was found that the gypsies took
to their heels and fled when they dis
covered that their “queen” had found
her folks.
Mr. McCabe referred the Mitchell
family to the federal authorities in
New Jersey.

If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us;
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
