Der wher abouts until Tuesday afternoon. whom she
accidentally met Cullen In the vicinity al Seventh
and Market streets, and with Q resolution and de.
teImiDa alton worthy Of oil praise she collared that
gentleman and com elled him to conduct her to the
unfortunate Ri'ls house. The accused had been in
the habit Of visiting the house. and the mother al

bard earnings Of the wash tub-and expressed to
the Alderman, as only woman can express it, the
foul disgrace, iDfsmy and shame which hal been
Brought upon herself and family by the accused.
Cullen ssked permission from the magistrate to
make bis statement In regard to the affair." which
was granted. IL was rather disconnected and con-
I'll ting. He eaid he had picked up the gth Ia the

improbable story.
The accused works at coat making, and boards at

rather fancy cbaracter--sporting profusion Of
jet black hair immel 90 whiskers, and formidable
nOustache. He was dressed In fancy blue cloth
coat, drsb pants, French boots, and hat Of the
latest style. The Officers, upon examining his
room, found that he had packed up bis moveables,
probably for the purpose Of taking summer trip to
Boston, Newport. or rome other healthy location.
When in the officers custody he was quite violent,
and when informed by the Alderman that he should
commit him in default of 81 900 bail, for further
bearing in the case for the purpose Of bringing up

faith in the soft impeachment

pleasing conference. The magistrate asked her If
she desired to 20 home with her mother. She an.
swered at first in the negative, but was subsequently
induce ed to do 20.

and has several children.
