ANOTHER BROOKLYN SCANDAL.
Particulars of n Mock Marriage.


The details of most atroc1ous out
rage have been developed within the
past two days in Brooklyn. Nothing Of
a worse character has occurred for years
in the city. This affair involves the
reputation of an estimable young lady,
who has been basely deceived by the
specious representations of man whose
name is understood to be Abrams. His
victim is Miss Shuttleworth, maiden
of 16. To make matters still worse,
the man Abrams, besides being mar
ried, obtained the services OF willing
tool to perform mock marriage in q
house OF bad repute, whittier the girl
had been inveigled. The facts thus fan
ascertained, by dint of questioning in
every quarter, arc these: On the night
of the 9th inst, Miss Shuttleworth was
enticed into the house No. SO
Leonard street, kept by a woman
named Augusta Armstrong, by Abrams.
To all his overtures she refused compli-
ance. Among them was the worn out
argument that it would make no differ
ence, with or without the ceremony in
the eye of the law. She insisted that a
minister she would have, ere consenting
to his proposals, and to satisfy her
scruples, it was pretended "man OF
God" had been sent for. This individ-
ual, man named Williams, who is now
shown to have assumed the clerical
cloth, was a young man supposed to be
we'll known to Abrams, and it is sus-
pected that the arrangement had been
made in advance between this brace OF
conspirators.
The story of the mock marriage,
hitherto supported but vaguely, was
fully confirmed by the admission OF
Mrs. Armstrong, though, as she stated,
all the parties were unknown to her.
Williams only excuse for acting the
part he did in this tragedy, is that he
was drunk at the time. That such was
not the fact can be proved by two CT
more witnesses, who saw him imme-
diately preceding the pretended solemn
ceremony. The woman Armstrong says
he came to her house without being
sent for, entered with smile and bow,
removed his hat, and walked directly
into the presence of Abrams and his
deluded victim, holding a new bible OF
other book in one hand. Upon his neck
was white cloth, to further deceive
any who might have questioned his pro
fessional standing.
The punishment for personating a
minister, as in the case of Williams, is
said to be Imprisonment for term not
exceeding 10 years. Abrams is be-
lieved to have fed the city, as no clue
to his hiding place can be obtained.

A Horrible Death.

A jail in Forest Miss, has been burn
ed; the single prisoner confined in it
persisted in the flames. The structure
was built of logs, with but one door and
one window. Several men were first
attracted by the shouts of the prisoner,
and then the the fire burst out around
the door, preventing escape by that
exit. He ran to the window, which
was heavily barred, and gave directions
how to rescue him. The men were I'M
able to break the bars. The doomed
prisoner chung to the window after the
heat had become SO intense that those on
the outside had been driven away,
pressing his face between the bars for
air while the fire was catching his cloth
ing. At last, with touching cry of
despair, his hold loosened and he fell
back into the flames.
