B8- A1IEDGED ABDucrIoS OF YoUsG
GrRL.-Yesterday young man came to
this city from Pittsburgh in search of his
cousin, Miss Johnson, who was induced 10
leave her home in that city some weeks
ago After some inquiry it was ascer.ained
that the girl was stopping at disreputa-
BILE house in the Fifth Ward, kept by one
Mrs. Hugans. Officers Vail and st. Myers
proceeded to the house and succeeded in
pursuading the girl to accompany them to.
a hotel. The girl appeared rather reluc.
tant to go home at first, but finally com
sented and left with her relative on the
Pittsburgh train yesterday evening. 1t is
represented that the girl belongsto very
respectable family in Pittsburgh, and that
she was persuaded to leave home by
young man belonging to the army who
brought her to this city. This is one side
of the story. We learn from those who
are familiar with the case that the girl,
who is remarkably good looking and well
and fiashily dressed, is "no better than she
should be,3'-that she was q very willing
captive, and that she was arrested and TAX
en- back to Pittsburgh in consequence of
some information which she possessed aud
which was considered very valuable to 9TH
ers. Altogether it is case of considerable
mystery upon which no one appears to be
quite clear.
