was unaware of the divorce. Apparently, Julie didn't tell him. Scott and Julie

Julie named their son Zachary Arvan (not Zachary Worsham). That was when Scott
found out about the divorce. He discontinued his partnership with Julie at the

shop and relocated (with son Zachary) to parts unknown. Scott became a partner in

"Fort Smith, Ark, January 31
- A band of Gypsies has, for some time past, been encamped in the southwestern part of
this state, and on Saturday last one of the number was arrested in Richmond, Little
River county, for being drunk and disorderly. He was fined for the offense, and left
in charge of a young man by the name of House Wisham until the fine should be paid.
The Gypsy, being still under the influence of liquor, declared that he would return to
his camp, and started from the surveillance of his guard, Wisham then killing him
instantly. The law-abiding portion of the community, believing the killing to be
unwarranted, made complaint against Wisham, of which fact he was informed before the
arrest could be made, whereupon he left? town, and soon after came back with an armed
mob, defying the authorities and declaring that he would not be arrested, in which
declaration he seemed to be correct, for, after a due amount of cursing, swearing and
defying, he rode off with his crowd unmolested, and is still at large. Wisham claims
that the officer who put the Gypsy in his charge instructed him to shoot the prisoner
if he attempted to escape."
