Too Many Wlves-Thc Troubles Of y
Handsome Young Man.

Quite on excitement was caused nc
the depot last evening, says The Toledo
Hi1dc, on The arrival Of the Detroit
train, by seeing un officer get on The
cars with % tall, handsome young man,
with % pair Of handouts on his wrists.
Considerable curiosity was manifested
ia regard to the crime the we'll
dressed young man had committed,
but the officer was very reticent, and tho
scandal-lOyers were left in utter dark
ness in regard to the affair.
The officer escorted his prisoner 10
the Central Station, where the following
facts were aseertained by means Of care
full inquiry; The young mans name is
b. +. RyersOn, alias Frank Van Astrand,
alias Harry Corwin, alias a dozen other
names. In the year 1874 he became ac-
quainted with Il charming young girl ut
Delaware, Ohio, the daughter of a
prominent clergyman in that place. The
acquaintance ripened into intimacy, and
as RyersOn had a very prepossessing APP
pearance and was very intelligent, he
o o won the girls affections and love,
and IN the 4th of October they were
married, the BRIDES father performing
the ceremony. Every thing went as
smoothly as could be desired for some
time, and the trusting girl fondly be-
lieved that she was to enjoy a quiet,
peaceful life, loved by her husband and
respected by her friends and %acquaint-
ances. But, alas! her hopes were soon
to be blasted. Ryerson proved to be a
fond and loving husband for nearly Il
year, when he became acquainted with
a beautiful and accomplished young
widow, who resides in Springfield.
She was very attractive, and in addition
to this she had a large share
of this worlds goods. Ryerson
called quite frequently on the fascinat-
ing widow, and Notwithstanding
the fact that his first wife was at home,
trusting in his honor to remain true to
her, the man become infatuated, and
the widows wealth was only another in
c~entive. To make a long story short,
he left his young wife in Delaware, went
to Springfield, wooed and won the
widow, and on the 2Sth of last Septem-
Der he was married a second time, with
out having a legal separation from his
first wife. He had not long been mar
ried to his second wife before it began
to be limited about that he had been
married before. The young man heard
of these rumors, and, knowing their
truth, packed up a few articles of cloth
ing and left for Detroit, whence he went
to Windsor, Canada.
Soon after his flight a Springfield
officer started after him, tracing him to
Detroit, thence to Windsor. Then came
the task of getting him on American
ground, so that he could be arrested.
BY a nice strategic movement Mr.. Ryer-
son was led to go to Detroit. Some
thing induced him to go to the Michigan
Exchange, where the Springfield officer
was awaiting his arrival. He saw that
he was fairly trapped, and pat out his
hands for the bracelets. Mr.. Officer
took his man in charge and arrived here
with him last evening, as already stated,
at 6 o'clock. They left at 8 O'Clock for
Springfield, where he will be tried on a
charge of bigamy.
The terrible deception that had been
practiced upon the young widow so
preyed upon her mind tb at she has be-
come ~hopelessly insane, and has been
confined in suitable quarters.
