The girl is under the age of consent. He is now in the county jail at Geneva and has asked that he be tried as quickly as possible, that he may begin serving whatever sentence is meted out to him. Brought up in ignorance, the girl is practically withont a sense of shame, and is only half witted, anyway, so that she easily fell a victim to Parren's wiles. Relatives took little interest in the case, and it was necessary for Assistant State's Attorney Johu R. Powers to sign the complaint in the case himself. The occurrences, which are admitted by both the girl and Parren, under oath, took place lasf July. The matter first came to the attention of the author­ ities about three weeks ago and Parren, hearing that officers were after him, Hed from the city. Since that time Constable Held has been working on the case steadily, and Special Officer Stacy with his blood­ hound has also done considerable work, the hound getting some valuable infor­ mation for the officials. Thru informa­ tion obtained by Officer Johu Rahn, Parren was located at Warrenville, and Constable Held and Stacy went there Saturday aud placed him under arrest. He was brought back to Elgin that night, arriving at 9 o'clock, and went immediately before Justice of the Peace Thompson,, who issued the warrant, pleaded guilty, signed a written state ment corroborating in every detail a signtd statement made by the girl, and was bound over to the grand jury and taken to Geneva. In Parren's pocket was found a letter from his wife, who, with her daughter and sou, resides in Elgin, advising him to get as far away from the city as he could. He was working for a contrator at Warrenville, and would probably have gotten out of the state as soon as he had enough money. The Overocker girl is a daughter of Mrs. Mary Overocker, who resides at 3*25 Douglas avenue, (0.
