Notes
a. Note:   taken from the West Plains Weekly Quill, July 11, 1929 LOCAL HOG THIEF BLAMES WOMAN FOR HIS ARREST Alva Ellison Says Woman Whom He Thought His Wife Tipped Officers Off To His Whereabouts When He Threatened Her (From Saturdays Daily Quill) Alva Ellison, West Plains man, who was arrested near Willow Springs yesterday on an old hog stealing charge, which has been pending against him in the Howell county circuit court in West Plains for several months, entered a plea of guilty today before Judge Will H D Green, and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Ellison plead with the judge for a parole, and blammed his downfall and also his arrest on a woman whom he said he thought was his wife and who according to his story to the court has been "two timing" him. Ellison said that when he stole hogs from his employer, Sam Grisham, a West Plains live stock dealer, he was aided and abbetted by a Mrs Hatfield, to whom he was married while living in Kansas a few years ago. He said that after he brought Mrs Hatfield back to West Plains with him he discovered that his first wife, Mrs Pearl Ellison, of West Plains, had never secured a divorce, although he had recieved a letter from West Plains stating that she has been divorced from him during his absence. This of course made his marriage to Mrs Hatfield void. Since a warrant was issued last year for Alva Ellison, for the hog thefts he has been in hiding and was not arrested until this week. He told Judge Green today that it was Mrs Hatfield who tipped the West Plains officers off to his whereabouts. He said he called Mrs Hatfield over long distance telephone and told her that unless she left the West Plains man with whom she has been keeping company and meet him (Ellison) in Willow Springs, he would "turn" her in to the officers for helping to steal the Grisham hogs. He said that immediately after the telephone call she sent officers word that he was in hiding near Willow Springs. Ellison declared that when he stole the Grisham hogs Mrs Hatfield went with him and helped to hold the sacks in which he placed them to carry them away. Alva married his fourth wife, Carrie Stark, and div. in about 6 months. Ethel Yarbough, his fifth wife, was the mother of Carrie Stark.
