14-Year Old Santaquin Girl Is Kidnapped and Brutely Ravished Sheriffs Forces Arrest Boys at Homes Shortly Short-ly After Assault; Parents of Girl Swear Out Complaints BOYS PLACE RESPONSIBILITY ON ONE After perpetrating one of the most revolting, atrocious, and dastardly deeds ever recorded in the annals of crime in Utah county, four boys were arrested in their homes in Goshen early Saturday morning by members of the sheriff's force. They are being held in the county jail awaiting preliminary pre-liminary hearing in the city court. Those arrested are Horatio Elliott, 19; Vern Steele, 18; Alfred Davis, 19, and Eddie Davis, 17. A charge of assault against a 14-year-old Santaquin girl has been sworn out against Elliott by the parents of the girl. At a late hour Saturday afternoon, the county and the district attorneys were in consultation with Sheriff J. D. Boyd relative to the complaint to be entered against the other three boys. All of the boys have told the same story to the officers and have partly confessed to the crime, according to Sheriff Boyd. The parents of the girl were in consultation with I. E. Brockbank, county attorney, Saturday morning when plans for the prosecution of the boys were being discussed. According to the story told to a distance from the main traveled Herald reporter by the mother, the girl, who is 14 years of age, was on her way home Friday night about 10 o'clock from a moving picture show at Santaquin in company with a younger girl. A short distance, from the homo, a small car In which the four Goshen boys were riding drove up to the sidewalk where the girls were walking. The boys wanted want-ed the older girl to go with! them but paid no attention to them and continued towards the home. She did not know any of the boys. As two of the boys started to run after the girls, the older girl ran onto a porch of a house and cried for help. It appears that no one was at home, however. The two boys then took the girl and drug her to the waiting car. The girl yelled for help. Her cries were heard by a Santaquin boy, but as he knew the four boys he wns of the opinion they were only fooling. As the car started towards Spring Lake, the boys tied the girl's hands bohlnd her back. In the meantime the companion of the girl rushed to the girl's home and told the mother what had taken place. The mother Jumped into a car and pursued the kidnappers. At Spring Lake she missed the car, it having turned onto a side road. She telephoned the sheriff's office at Provo and all of the police officers of-ficers of the south end of the county were notified to. be on the look-out. After the boys had driven a short road, Elliott, according to the story told the officers by the boys, took the girl out of the car. The other three boys continued on their way and then returned after a while. In the Interval, according to the story of the girl, Elliott attacked her. The girl was then taken back to Santaquin and was thrown out of the car when it reached her home. She was severely bruised and her clothes were soiled as she appeared at her home again. While the girl struggled with the boys, they are alleged to have told her to calm down. "Don't get excited," one of the boys is said to have told her. "You are not the only one we have had ahold of like this. And they have never squealed neither. If you know what is good for you, you had better keep still too." Investigation on' the part of Deputy Dep-uty Sheriff B. F. Hoper who with Deputies S. Willis and Ralph Niel-son Niel-son had responded to the mother's call, soon led to the discovery of the guilty parties. When the officers called at the home of the boys they found them all in bed. Elliott is said to have been especially sullen and ugly to the officers and would hardly dress himself to go to th Jail. At Santaquin the boys wer; confronted by the girl. She Identified all of them and pointed to Elliott as the one who had made the attack on her. Complaints against the three bojk will be issued sometime early next week.
