MEETS HIS MOTHER
Stepfather, Made Insane Because of
Accusations of Having Murdered
Boys, Confesses to
the Crime.
Sharon. Pa.—Yielding to a longing
to visit tile scenes of ids boyhood days,
George Burrows Keaster returned a
few days ago to the rural district of
Clarion county, just over the Mercer
county line, and in so doing cleared up
a mystery of many years’ standing.
In the early eighties William Keas
ter. a farmer residing on the highway
between Know and Colensburg, mar
ried a widow with two sons, ten and
twelve. Shortly after the marriage
the hoys disappeared and a search
failed to reveal their whereabouts.
The circulation of a story that Keas
ter had murdered the boys resulted in
breaking up the home. The accusation
so preyed on bis mind that Keaster be
came insane and was committed to a
state hospital, where he died.
Confesses Murder.
On the d:ite of his commitment he
told the warden that he had murdered
the eldest boy and had been forced to
repeat his act to prevent the youngest
from accusing him. He said that the
bodies of the boys were buried in the
garden near his home. A search of
the premises failed to reveal them.
Several days ago there appeared in
the locality of the old Keaster home
a stranger who claimed to be the elder
of the boys.
The wanderlust called the boys to
the West; they crept out of bed, left
the house, boarded a freight train and
finally reached the state of Washing
They Crept Out of Bed and Left
the House.
ton. They obtained employment in
the woods, where the younger was
killed five years after his departure
from home.
Since that time the eldest brother
has wandered over the Pacific coast.
He never wrote home and never re
ceived any word from relatives. Short
ly after his arrival in Clarion county
he located his mother, Mrs. Anna
Burrows Keaster, and a happy reunion
followed.
