The Seducer of Miss Stedman-Interyiew be
tween the Villain and his Deserted Wife,

We have already published the particulars of
the elOpement of Miss Stedman from female
academy at Auburn with married man named
ilallenback. We find in the Auburn American
the following account Of an interview between
the villain and his deserted wife, from which the
inference Is plain there is no Judge Lynch in Ca
yuSa county, and that the people of Auburn are
ignorant OF the virtue which, in some localities
IL attributable to tar and feathers:
W e learn from a gentleman belonging 10 the
Northern Hotel in this city. that Hallenbeck-the
seducer Of Miss Stedman was there on Monday
the 18th ult, and that an interview took place be-
tween him and his deserted wife. She is desert
bed as beautiful and interesting woman of un-
impeachable character. Hearing that her husband
was there, she came with her little child in her
arms TO persuade her wandering husband TO re-
turn to his wife and family The scene is repre-
sented as one calculated to draw tears from one
with heart of marble-as the heartless seducer
was called to confront his virtuous and injured
wife and forSaken child.
The step-mOther Of the seduced girl had like
wise heard that the DESTROYER of their honor and
peace was there, and she also appeared to him to
upbraid him, but toward all he manifested bru-
tai lnsenslbility, while the bystanders were af-
1ccted TO tears. Ii was Il scene to melt the hard
est heart, as the mother stood with her child in
her arms and offered up PRAYER to God 10 turn the
heart Of her unfaithful husband and the unnatu-
raj father OF her children again to the family
which he had so cruelty de5erted. He maintained
stOlld inditference-tredting her SuppIications
with contempt, and even spurning her from him
with violence only to be found in a savage At
first he told her she could not stay under the
roof with him, but at length consented that she
might remain for the night.
" hen he was shown TO her room. she rose up
almost insane with agony and her eyes streaming
with tears, and extended her arms to meet him
when he turned upon her with a sour and angry
look, and bade her in a surly tone, " Sit down
sit down. The wretched wife, bursting into
ht of uncomfortable grief, inquired s'W hat have
ever done that you should treat me and my dear
little children in this manner 30 His only reply
was, - don't love you and can't be happy with
you you must forget me, and you find some
one else to love you This british proposition
threw her into fit of wild and almost naniacal
agony He refused to receive her and treat her as
wife, but threw himself with his clothes on
across the foot of the bed, and in the midst of her
groans, cries and tears, fell asleep and slept
Sonndly TIL morning, when he took the cars and
left her at the hotel The landlord kindly CON
