story, in substance, that she was married
TO defendant many years since, and had
five children; that in 1858, when the

Sttae, the defendant brought to the
house, as a servant, one Anne Newlove,
a girl OF bad character, who lived in the
family some time and then took lodging
in a room over a storerwhere defendant
visited her; that IN the summer Of that
year defendant abandoned plaintiff, going
west with horses and other property
across the plains to Nevada, taking with
him the two Oldest children, Cboys) and
plaintiff with the other three
children to support, but wholly without
means; that the girl Newlove disap-
peared from Findlay at the same time
that she (plaintih) followed defendant,
up with him thirty or forty miles
from Findlsy, but could get no satisfac-
ton from him in any way; that she then
to Trumbull county, where they
had formerly resided, lat Viennal and
took counsel, and acting on advice given,
again started in pursuit Of defendant.

the train with which he was travelling was
lust in advance. She then caused war
rants to issue for the arrest Of defendant
and Anne Newlove, on charge Of adul-
terry, and accompanied by officers, con-
tinued the pursuit, OvertRking the train
in the night. She then obtained Of the
defendant several horses, twenty dollars
