meaning, or suppose that he meant any,
i thing when he told her he wanted her to
60 somewhere with him. When she left
the house he met her unexpectedly al the
next corner, valise in hand. and told her
he wanted her to come with him. She
oblected-he insisted-she wanted to re-
turn, but he took her by the hand and
said if she did not come right along that
he would go back to the house, where her
mother was alone, and Kill her and then
he would make her 90. So she reluc-
family went forward to the Hudson River
Railroad, and he hurried her on the cars
just as they were starting. She then
wanted to know where he was going to
take her, and he told her that she would
seen see, and SO kept her still by alter
nateIy threatening and pacifying, ffe-
quently declaring that he would take the
most terrible vengeance upon her and all
her family if she did not go along quietly
and do just as be babe her. On clided
the cars till they reached Albany Hay
erman made no stop here, but hurried her
on, never allowing her to speak to an in
dlvdual, and she dared not try tc escape.
On, on they went, till night came, bring
ing sleep and dreams OF home, while she
was still speeding away from it, perhaps,
she thought, forever. She remembers
stopping for breakfast, and that day cross
ing the Suspension Bridge and getting
glimpse of the Falls Of Niagara, and then
he told her she was IN Canada, where her
father could not follow her and take her
back if he wanted to; and now in Cana
da, she must submit to him altogether, or
else he should never let her 90 back to
see her mother.
As to where they went she knows but
little, as she was forbid to talk with any
one, and her memory of dates and places
is very indistInct. From q letter dated
London, Canada, written June %, writ
ten by DR.. L. w. Bradway, we quote:
"The couple You describe came here
May 20th and left the 2Sth. ! met them
as they came from the cars and nay atten-
ton was drawn to them by the apparent
disparity in their ages-at least for hus-
band and wife--she being mere girl.
and he appeared middle-aged, say 40. |
remarked to a friend at the time that thew
were a runaway couple. The next day
after they arrived here | had fair op-
po-tualty to scrutinize them, and find they
corres spond exactly with the description
since given IN the Tribune. They PIT
up at the Western Hotel; he registered
his name as S. Leeks and wife, engaged
board for week, and occupied room No.
30 while they stayed"
Hayerman said he was going 10 Mon
treal when he left London, but he was
shortly afterward In Cleveland. Maggie
has no distinct recollection about the route
/ there, only that they were at Port Stanley
at some time. H scolded her . great
deal for crying so much about home, and
I at Cleveland read to her from d German
paper what purported to be an advertise
ment of her father Offering two shillings
reward for her return; and then laughed
at her and told her they did not want her
back. At some places he said she was
his wife, at others his daughter, and 9th
ers his step daughter, that be had run off
from her mother because she was unkind
to her, and was afraid that the girls bro
ther might pursue her. He told her to
say that she was fifteen years old, and that
she wanted to come off with him, but
watched her as carefully as Col. Wheeler
watched his slave al Philadelphia, so that
40 Passmore Williamson should tell her
she might go free.
