nH-A MArRIMosIAL SpEceLArIoS-Ho w
TOMBSTONE MAN FLoUR,snED FOR A WHILE
AND now He CANE TO GErEr.-There is a
marble sbopin .hisciry, over whish stands
the name, ~ o'Byrne.' In aud about the
shop there are many fine specimens ofmnr-
BILE, intended To mark the last resting places
of the dead. Mr.. O'BYrne has been in bu-
siuess in this city for about four years. AS
his name indicates he is an Irishman. A
few weeks ago he took a trip to Doddridge
county with view of increasing his trade.
In Doddridge county he made the acquaint.
ance of young widow whose maiden name
was Pritchard. Mr.. OBJ. applied to the
widow and asked the privilege of putting u
tombstone at the head of the grave of her
departed husband. Mr. OBJ. soon discov-
cred that tho widow was young and very
wealthy, and being marrying man he set
himself at once about winning her afFec-
lions. AS this would require little more
time than OBJ. cared about devoting to the
object, he decided to facilitate the business
by employing a couple of persons in the
neighborhood to favor his snit He was to
reward these persons handsomely in case of
success. They were to represent that Mr..
OBJ. was wealthy, and sustained a good
character in this city. These representa-
tons were daily made, and, together with
the constant attentions, compliments and
destinations of the elegant OBJ, soon sue
ceeded. OBJ. married the widow and
brought her to this city. The pair remain
ed couple of days in town and then went
to Pittsburgh. From Pittsburgh Mr.. OBJ.
wrote to the person in Doddridge county
who had charge of the widows affairs, and
requested him to send Immediately to
Pittsburgh the modest sum of Eve hun
bred dollars to the address of 'yours afFec-
tionately, ]. O'Byrne." The widow has
two big brothers living in Doddridge.-
These brothers, in the meantime, had
found ont that OBJ. had wife in Cincir-
natl. another in Ireland, end perhaps one
or two more. Instead of sending the mon
ey the brothers packed up few little
traps and started for Pittsburgh. Arriving
at that point, the first thing they did was
to hunt up policeman. The first thing
the policeman did was to station himself at
the general delivery of the post-office for
the purpose of arresting o'Byrne when he
called for the expected letter. About the
first thing that o'Byrne. did that morn
ing, after arranging his toilet and saying
his devotious, was to call for the letter
He was Instantly seized and requested to
conduct the policeman aud the 1ritchards
to his lodgings, which Mr.. OBJ. did with
out hesitation. OBJ. and the widow were
brought down TO this city on Saturday
night. OBJ. was lodged ia Jail. One Of
the brothers took his sister home, and the
other remains here to see that O'Byrne is
prosecuted for bigamy, false presences and
that sort of thing.
The Pritchards claim that their sisters
mind has been seriously affected for some
time in consequence of chronic dyspepsia,
and that oByrne lied to her and employed
every conceivable deception. It's said the
widow is worth hundred thousand dol
lars. o'Byrne, it's said, had wife in this
city some time ago with whom he did not
live peaceably, aud separation took place,
the wife going to Cincinnati. It is also
said he has wife in Ireland.
