THE SEQUEL OF JOUR- MAGGIE"
REMARKABLE CASE OF ABDUCTION.
ARREST AND CONFINEMENT OF THE KIDNAPpER.

Persons were at once sent in search Of her as we then
announced. We are now able to state that she has
returned; and that on the train which brought
her back to the arms of her despang parents there
came in charge of officer Hunt Of Cleveland and in
irons. Martin Hsvemsn, charged with having forc
bly, abducted and carried of from her home in this
city, Margaret, girl 10 years old, daughter Of VII
liam House. and secretirg her from her parents and
friends, and by threats and violence keeping her in du
rance over seven weeks.
On Friday night last at 10 clock Margaret reached
home. On Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, eight
weeks had elapsed since she left that home, before
stated, to visit school mate, expecting to return to
dinner As che bad always been sffectionate home
loving child, never abeent night from her mother,
her upaccountable absence now gave intense alarm.
IL was soon found that Martin Haverman, a German,
who had boarded in the house, also missing, and
fears of foul play on bis part at excited.
Advertisements were printed, handbils circulated,
every effort made to follow and find him, but although
dy on his track, he managed to eude his pur
susrs until Tuesday last when he was discovered by
uncle Of Maggie and arrested at Chicago.
Tie manner of his discovery and arrest was to say
the least very remarkable. Among the number Of
letters elected by the publicity given to the case, was
one from Cleveland written in brt ken German Eogish,
without name reference to the writer's residence,

Haverman had previously called Maggie 80, and this
gave hope. He found tn German and they described
the man and girl, but they seemed reluctant to tell
where he worked for fear they might be getting coun-
.rymar into difficulty. The reward printed in Ger.
nan decided them. They went to the shop with Mr..
ID. ard an officer in an obscure corner Of the German
quarter of the city, and found that such man had
worked II ere but was not at the shop, and no one
could tell where be boarded. His conscience dis

was n al recognized. He drew back and exclaimed

ard she thwarted his wish TO conceal her. by scream

came up the stairs.
Haverman was at first very defiant, and declared
that If he took her eway he would follow aud have

We saw and heard Maggie tell her story on Satur'
