An IMrosrER AN alleged detective named Day
hailng from Stanstead, created some excitement
in town, last week, by detailing the extraordinary
abduction Of the wife of wealthy merchant In
that place. Day pretended to be on track OF the
abductor. Two days after he returned here,
stating that he had arrested the abductor at Yer
gonnes, had hin locked up in jail there rescued
the woman who had been kept under the iniiu-
ence Of opiates for twelve days and knew nothing
all the time, and had taken her 10 the hotel. The
husband Of the abducted wife he represented as
having gone stark mad at his loss, so that he was
confined in a lunatc asylum, where II took three
men to control him. The story was exceedingly
improbable, but he told it with minuteness
which convinced many Of its truth. Day sud
denly disappeared and day OF tw. afterwards
parties rom Stanstead arrived here In search Of
him. 1t appears that he was involved in pecuniary
difficulties, and had " lit out, between two days.
Days story they pronounced a fabrication, no
such affair having occurred Day may be crazy,
but he is an accomplished liar anyway.
