neartIess Seduction and Deser.ion of a
lFrom the Cincinnati Times. !

We stated yesterday that the dressna
king establishment of Miss Black, on Long
worth street, had been entered early in the
morning and robbed of several silk dresses
1t was supposed the crime had been per-
pefrated by some expert burglar, but an in
vestgation by the police, led to the sus-
picion that the theft was committed by
some one we'll acquainted with the prem
Uses. Further inquiry caused them to take
into custody girl named Ellen Williams,
who was in the employ of Miss Black -
She at once confessed to the robbery, and
gave up the goods. She is only IA years
of age. and it appears is the victim of a
base and heartless seducer. ,sr
Some two months ago, she applied to
Miss Black for employment, and was Civ
en- situation. She was very ready with
the needle, and was SO Industrious, atten-
tive to her business, so amiable and gen.
tie in her disposition, that Miss Black soon
became fond of her. Ellen, however, was

had taken his seat for the first time upo,

ed, and the plaintiff stood ready. 1t wa.
case that had been. in litigation for iv,

"Our witnesses are absent, and there

"Do you doubt my word as to the
facts?' General Smoot exclaimed sharp

cane
"Not at all, !" replied the Judge with his
blandest smile, "but the law requires that
the facts justifying a continuance must ap-
pear on record, and the court has no pow
, or to annul law, nor any will to see it an
nulled"
The Judges calm and business-like tone
and manner only served, to irritate the
bully and he retorted, shaking his sword
cane IN the direction of the bench, "W hat
ever may be the law, /, for one will not
learn 1t from the lips of an upstart dem
agogue and a coward"
Judge Yel's blue eyes shot lightning but
he only turned to the clerk and said

Gen. Smoot, as see him named on my
docket, for gross contempt of court, ana.
