Hazel Green Herald - April 6, 1896 Charged with Murder John Sebastian Arrested for a Crime Committed in Texas Detective George W. Drake arrested John Miles Sebastian in Morgan County last week. Sebastian is a young man and belongs to one of the most prominent families in Morgan County. He is charged with murder in Texas. About five years ago he left Morgan County and located in Texas. Two years after his arrival there a murder was committed. Sebastian made his escape and went to Canada, remaining there two years, and then returned to his native country. It became known in this community about six months ago that a reward of $100 was offered for him. It is said someone arrested him in Magoffin County, but he paid the reward and was discharged. Soon afterward Detective Drake was notified from Texas that such a man had made his escape from there; so after months of careful work the detective located his man. He will go direct to Texas with him. Sebastian had often said that he would never be arrested alive, as a trial in Texas meant death to him. Carole
