Frustrated.
from the Pitsbnrg (Pa Evening Chronicle July 1871
On Monday fore noon, about 10 o'clock, young
man; who gave his name as J. II. Subtitle, and who
hailed from the land Of wooden nutmegs, was
rested by officer Rea, and brought before Mayor
Noiz. charge Of attempting to force young
lady, named N. j., to accompany him against her
wishes to Philadelphia.
II appears that the young lady in question is
resident Of Franklin, in Louisiana, and daughter
Of the editor of the P B., a very Influential
southern publication. About two years ago she be-
came acquainted with Sutlife, who attended store
in Franklin, and. being Of an easy, pleasing dispo.
sition abe conceived an affection for him. which he
lost no opportunity of cutiyatiDg.
This acquaintance continued for some months.
during which che became much attached to her
lover, and it was only terminated when Miss IS
their education at seminary ia Granville Licking
county, Ohio, conducted by MI. Sanford. Whether
it that the lovers corrcsp0nded, that Sutlie
had learned the whereabouts Of his mistress through
some other charnel, we cannot say. but eighteen
months after her arrival at the seminary, the prs.
0ner made his appearance there. and the intimacy
between the parties was renewed Whatever repre-
sentations he made to Miss -, he prevailed on her
to ny with him from the seminary, and under pre-.
tence Of taking her to Philadelphia, where he
promised to marry her, he brought the lady to this
city.
they arrived here on Friday night. put up a. the
Riley Hotel, on Grant street, where he introduced
this girl az his cousin, and remained there until
Sunday night, when Mr.. Riley learning some Of the
facts Of the case and fearing that the fellow intend
ed seducing the girl, and then perhaps placing her
in one OF those fashionable brothels which abound in
Philadelphia. ordered him to leave the house. He
refused at first; butt Constable Tea was called in,
and his presence deferred the fellow from Offering
any further opposition to the will Of the landlord.
The girl, hearing Of his conduct became alarmed
for her safcty and opening her eyes to the gulf Of
misery which she had escaped, desired to be sent
back to the seminary.
The prisoner was arrested at her request, and the

elry, and attempted TO gain possession Of the re-
mainder, ordered the fu1lan TO leave town in six
hours, else he would send him to the hill as Va.
and declared that he intended making the girl his
wife, but tho guilt OF his intentions was too apparent
and the Mayor declared that when the hour arrived

well educated. She will DO sent back TO the semi

pearance OF being sharper.
Since writing the above, we learn that SutliHe,
refusing TO comply with the order OF the yer, was
arrested and committed to jail in default OF So 00e

and answer charge Of attempting 10 abduct Miss

charge was made By Mr.. Kelly, who considers him.

duct OF the prisoner, and TIE fact that he told Miss
j. that he intccded introducing her to lady in
Philadelphia, whose name ne gave, and who, II
has since been ascertained, Is proprietor Of house
of " repute IN that city.

permit him to ace the lady. on which he swore he

Of doors, and gave him parting salute with his
boot as he left. He subsequently called watch
