JESSE POmERoY,s VICTIM.
The Discovery.

About the middle of March last the
people of South Boston, and in fact the
community at large, were startled by the
then supposed abduction of young girl
named Katie Mary Curran. The child was
ten years of age, and lived with her father
and mother, and the last seen of herwas on
the 18th of the above month, when she was
sent to a neighboring store on an GRAND.
1t was found that she obtained the article
for which she was sent and started for
home, but from that time up to Saturday
last no trace of her whereabouts could be
found. The sudden disappearance of the
girl excited great attention, and by direction
CT the city council the mayor was author
lied and did offer reward of $500 for the
detection and conviction of the person or
persons who abducted her.
After the matter had been investigated
fully by the police authorities without salts
factory results, the impression gained
ground that the child had been placed in
convent by Roman Catholic influence, as i.
was well known that the husband and wife
had quarrelcd as to the faith their daughter
should embrace, the former being Roman
Catholic and the latter Protestant That
such disposition had been made of Katie
was generally believed until dispelled on
Saturday by the discovery of her remains in
the cellar of a building which, until re-
