From The Niagara Gazette dug. 90
The New York papers contain long letter from the
lr G.. w. Godfrey, in which he tries TO explain his
seduct in the matter of the "eopemeent with Mrs.
bike We have thought best to give the pnblic
temert of facts which will prove his want OF respect
b the truh.
aThe Rev. G w. Godfrey, n. Y" viii be found in
O. published list of arrivals at the Monteage, on the
sth Of Jnly Either the same day or the day follow
By ne hired hackman giving directions TO take him
b house Of il-fame. He was taken TO the house
uhere Mrs. Dyke WAS stopping and there made her
nqualLtsnce.
While there he purchased several bottles of wine,
and made pretty free with the inmates, and also made
an arrangement with Mrs. Dyke to accompany him to
the Monteaele where they roomed that night together
He also hired carriage and with her rode around
Goat Island, and even proposed to call on Jusilce
Huet. 10 marry them, which she refused saying that
her husband would make row, &c; During these
interviews he was quite liberal with his money-this
fact pIObably secured her consent to accompany nm
10 New.York. As Dyke was in the neighborhood, the
question arose, how they should get away unooserved
by him. -.
He sought the advice of an officer who after telling
him wi at sor of girl she was, did advise hun how to
get away. She took carriage for Cayuga creek; ne
checked his baggage through from the rdge east ou
took the cars for Buffalo. Joining her at Cayuga
Creek he paid her fare, and expenses IN getting 10 tne
station It is the opinion of the gentleman who adj
viseS him, tbati REV G. W. Godfrey was
little the worse for liquor the afternoon OF their
departure. What followed when Dyke caught his
wife al Albany, has heretofore been stated. 49,
Mr. Godfrey said he was accosted on the day OF his
departure by Mr.. D., who told pttu story ana
prevailed upon him to take her 10 New. York In tnls
way he SAYS, she "insinuated' into his hanas
He says he did not know he in house OF ill'tane
&c. The facts are widely different. Again, he says
he never disguised his name. We answer by publish
ing the following letter addressed TO the gentleman
before referred to, and inclosng another to Mrs. Dyke
which we also publish:
