reported in yesterdays Gazette, should
prove warming to young girls, or old
girls for that matter. who may be tempt
ed to open correspondence with stran
gers with view to matrimony, or any
other view.
John p. Dabney married man, un-
der the name of S. D Plat and +. NJ.
Works, advertised for correspondence
With girls between the age OF IL and 20.
which was answered by quite number
of females, and In one case Dabney, un
der the assumed name Of Works. con
tracted an engagement with girl at
Cornersville, Indiana
This Dabney, who is, of course, a
worthless seoundreI, was turned out OF
boarding house for non pay ment OF
board. and a trunk belonging to him wa
retained by the landlord This piece of
furniture was subsequently opened by
his wife. and among its contents were one
hundred and Fifty love letters. and
number of photographs from girls who
had answered his advertisement These
documents are IN the hands of lawyers.
and were made public in court The
newspapers mercifully refrained from
giving particulars, otherwise the foolish
girls who wrote the letters and furnished
their photographs might have been ex

Another case recently occurred in this
line which is also TO be mentioned as
warning. A man advertised for CORES
