Chicago they went off together, leaving the
dead body of the husband in the depot But it
seems that the latter part of the statement was
erroneous, for the woman forwarded the dead
body on, and it arrived in this city on Saturday.
and she arrived with her new husband on Mon
day, and the funeral of the deceased husband
was held at Waterford on Tuesday last
