seductiola Case.
SAINT PAUL


mo ,,rt;culars of a seduction case of pecu-
,;or atrpcity. were ELECTED yesterday, at the
Police Court. 1t seems that MIR. GeOrgeW ood-
;ngton who is a steamboat engineer, left this
CITY for New-O Orleans Q week or two since, ieav-
in; his daughter Martha, pretty and interest
Ing girl of IA years, inickarge Of gentleman
named Kecler, residing on Broadway near
Lower Market While in his house, Martha,
in some way, became acquainted with man
named David Perry, at whose solicitations she
was induced to take buggy ride with him last
Monday evening. Fearing that Mr.. Keller
would object, she stole from the house by the
back door, and soon after meeting Perry, she
got into the vehicle. After riding about for
some time Perry drove up to Sportsman Hall,
alighted, and called for room, to which ne cs-
corted Martha. After being treated, she ex-
pressed desire to return, but was put offwith
one prctext and another, until finally she was
told that il was too late to return, and had bet
ter spend the night at the Hall, to which she
finally assented. Shortly following, another
woman was introduced into the apartment, with
whom she was told to retire. She did as was
hid, but had hardly ensconced herself in bed,
when Perry entered the room, and partly by
threats and partly by entreatics, alleging that
he wonld make her his wife, obtained her con-
sent to share her couch. At an early hour the
next morning she returned to her home ruin
cd and sorrowful girl. Suspicion having al
ready attached itself to Perry as the partner Of
her flight, it was not difficult matter for Mr..
X. to draw from her the particulars as record
ed. What makes this case one of more than
ordinary atrocity, is the tender age Of the mo-
therless girl he has so mercilessly betrayed, and
the fact that he is already a married man, and
therefore can never make his promise good to
marry her. We had nearly omitted to mention
that as soon as Martha was missed by her
guardian, officers were despatched in pursuit.
Perry was suspected Of having abducted her,
but though most diligent search was made
their whereabouts could not be found, and it
was only till this most devilish outrage was
consumlnated, that their meanderings could
I've traced. 1t was thought best that Martha
be sent to the House of Refuge for the present
for safe keeping sad an order to that effect was
issued by Judge Spooner. In the meantime
a warrant was taken ont for the arrest of the
scoundrcl Perry, and it is to be hoped that ere
this he has been captured, and will soon be
male to bitterly atone for his outrageous con-
