New York city, he went there, and hls daughter
called at the factory to see him. She was then
living in New York with this man, whom she
represented as her husband, but he understood
afterwards, that while in New York she went by
| the name of Ellen Lacey. He heard or saw
nothing more of his daughter until he received
| the telegram from Arnold. AT the time Arnold
