PREACHER IN THE TOILS.
_
R. S. Dreemer, Pastor of Batesville
Church, Who Escaped Justice
Nine Years Ago By Flight,
Must Answer For Old
Charges.
Sheriff John A. Hinkle of Indepen
dence county, was in Newport Tues
day morning with a prisoner in
charge, who nine years ago was pas
tor of the Southern Methodist church
at Batesville. His name, as will be
remembered by all those living here
at that time, was R. S. Deener.
He enjoyed the confidence of a
large portion of his church member
ship, until it suddenly became dis
closed that he had violated the laws,
whose penalty was a penitentiary
sentence. He was indicted on five
different counts, two of them being
for forgery and obtaining money un
der false pretenses. Upon being ar
rested he gave bond, which was
made up by relatives of his wife,' $500
being required on each account or
$2,500 in the aggregate.
When he thus secured liberty, he
was not long in taking his departure
presumably for Mexico, where he
could not be secured as this country
had no extradition treaty with Mex
ico covering such an offense. The
bond criven bv his relatives was re
garded as the purchase of his liberty
and his flight to Mexico was looked
upon as proof of his guilt.
But Deener it seems became ven
turesome as the years rolled by and
came back to Arkansas on a visit to
his wife’s relatives at Huntington,
where he was arrested by Sheriff
Hinkle. He must now stand trial for
these charges at Batesville.
