ALLEGED Kidnapping Of q brooklyn Girl.


Alleged KidusppiuE OF = brooklyn Girl.
The Hackeusack IN. j. Republican Of yes
to-day publishes the following singular story;
spectacle appearance called at cottage near
the Highland Station, and asked, Where is
Brooklyn The question was so odd, and
the girl appeared so strange, that the State
Marshal, Mr.. ii. P. Domarest, was sent for.
He questioned the child, and elected a start
ling story. She gave her name-which, at
present, we shall not, for obvious reasons,
publlsh-and that Of her parents In Brooklyn,
and their street and number. She started
that morning to visit IN aunt, residing In
New York; and, on reaching the Battery,
waited for Tenth avenue car.
"While waiting, she saw carriage standing
near, and noticed it-that It was rather
shabby, the yarnish rubbed off, the horses,
one white and the other dark, and poor hacks
at that. While thus walking and waiting, 0
man, who came along as II TO pass her, sud-
denly threw flannel cloth over her head
She remembered nothing more until, as II
waking from dream, she found she was In o
close carriage, and somebody was Just going
out, shutting the door behind him. She
moreover, heard tho person say, BY ---sl Its
all day with US II we don't get away from
here pretty SOON Rousing still more, she
discovered that the carriage was broken
down, and peeping out, she saw two men In
slouched hats, two or three hundred yards
of, apparently looking for something. When
their backs were turned, she contrived TO
escape unseen into the woods. Her escape
must have been somewhere near Fort Lee.
She described graveyard which she passed
that seems to have been the Catholic bury
lng-ground, aud she remembers passing the
Eaglewood Presbyterian church,
"But she wandered on Until she reached the
cottage where Mr.. Demarest found her. Mr..
w. g. Vermllye, living near, also came In,
and the two gentlemen brought tho poor
young creature-sbe Is only fourteen--to the
Englewood depot. Here they telegraphed TO
her father, aud took her to the house Of q
friend. The father did not get this telegram
until 10 o'clock p. IN, but then came directly
on, reaching tho house where the child was
about midnight Mr.. Demarest has seen the
father, and he finds the girls statement quite
correct The poor thing was, on Sunday,
still so much under the influence Of the mar
c0tic That she dozed off while telling her
story. She furthermore says that for some
weeks past she has been followed by an old
woman, who was striving to decoy her away,
and who threatened that she would have her
before long. The girl thinks she could iden.
tify at least one Of the men, but 1t Is to be
feared the chances OF arrest are now small"
