Seduction, Death, and public Ercnn,ont.-
The Norwich Courier gives account OF the do
ings in reference to one Guy, proicssedIy an "ln-
dian DOCTOR" which had thrown that generally
quiet place into very partonabc excitement.
The story is briefly thus:
Guy had a widow for patient, at Greenvillc.
whose daughter, aged about seventeen, he persua-
ded to clopo with him, and they remained absent
three days and nights. The discovery of the
daughters error caused the mothers death. GUY
was seen in Norwich and rcconzcd. The story
of the double mischief he had effected was known
and separations were made to tar and feather
him and ride him out of town upon a rail, bat his
arrest on a warrant saved him from the afcton
A ftcr n few hours Imprisonment, there being no
one to appear against him, he was discharged q nd
contrived 10 get out Of the town without farther
violence.
On Friday evening he sent a messenger to his
victim, with a note in which he desired her to
come 10 him and he would place her in security.
The citizens of Greenfield, however. suspcCtinu
that he wished only to get her TO New York, and
here sooner or later abandon her, warned the
messenger whose name was Woodward that the
girl should not be taken away, and that he had
two alternatives only-either to go back alone
and instantly, in the carriage he had brought, or
be taken out, attended, on rail which they had
brought. Tho man wisely chose the former.
