NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 18th, 1870.
Tuesday morning, 9th inst, just two
months after her abduction man call
ed at Mr.. Thos. Digby's house, and
when Mr.. Digby made his appearance
informed linn that lie had his lost child.
Mr.. Digby then accompanied the gen.
tleman to the residence of Capt. Broad
we'll No. 40 Chestnut St. where the
child, Mollie, was found and Mr.. Dig
by Immediately took it home. The
news soon spread aud the widest ex-
element prevailed in the neighborbood,
crowds of friends, and citizens OF all
classes called at the house to see the
child and congratulate the parents.
; The story as far as unraveled, and much
is vet to be learned, is as follows. The
child was abducted by u light mulatto
woman who belongs to Mobile, but who
was at the time on a visit to her sister
Ellen Angeles, residing at the corner
of Belle Castle and Camp Streets, sixth
}. District (late jefferson City, where she
0 keeps house for the private accouch-
e ment of women. who wish to keep their
condition from public knowledge. Her
e sister keeps like establishment IN
n Mobile. 1t seems that the woman Ell
q len Angelic, had in some way made
the acquaintance of Capt. BroadwelFs
family and induced Mrs. Broadwell to
take the child and return her to her
= parents. The woman asserts that the
= child was left with her last Wednesday,
l. by woman she does not know, but
20 who promised to return for it. A wo-
f. man who was boarding with her at the
" time, her son twelve years OF age and
,e her cook, all say the child has beer
n there three weeks, whllo another sor
A. about sixteen years of age coroborate'
y his mothers story. The parties herr
= are all in custody but whether step

Ill woman Ihave not learned. The motiv'
re for committing the outrage, and othe
at particulars have not come to light bu
n will undoubtedly be fully ventilated
d. the police tolloao the mother up.
