From the New York World Of Jan. "a.
Saturday night Mrs. Mackenzie, oil
| Montreal, eluded, the vigilance of her
relations and fled for parts unknown
with Mr.. John 81. Brydges. Mrs.
Mackenzie is the wife Of Mr.. w. e.
Mackenzie, junior partner in the firm OF
John G.. Mackenzie & Co., well
known throughout the Dominion. and
| a resident of No. Oil Sherbrooke street,
Montreal. Mr.. Benyon, who was de-
scribed as her brother-in law, is her
cousin, having married the daughter of
Sir Hugh Allen, brother, of Andrew
Allen of Iononteh, and 108 McTavish
street, Montreal, the father of the in
fatuated lady. When Mrs. Mckenzie
left Montreal she abandoned baby q
few months old that she was nursing.
On leaving the Tombs Police Court
Saturday morning, Mr.. Mackenxi, who
protested that nothing criminal had oc-
Cured between her and Mr.. Bridges,
reiterated promise that she had made
before Superintendent Walling that she
would return home, and her manner was
that of a thoroughly penitent person.
Her brother and cousin accompanied
her to the Windsor Hotel, and as mat
ter of precautioA engaged for her q
suite of rooms adjoining their own.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Mackenzie, in
a conversation with her relatives, ex-
pressed doubt as to her ever seeing
Montreal again, and said her happiness
was conferred in the man she run away
with. She was told that her father
and mother and family lawyer
would arrive yesterday, and appeared
willing to meet them. Early in the
evening she saw her two little girls put
to bed, and behaved In such an affec-
tionate manner that Messrs, Allan and
Benyon anticipated that she would yield
to the wishes of her father and mother
when they arrived. About 7 o'clock
Mr.. Denyon and Mr.. Allan went down
stairs to transact some business.
Meanwhile Mr.. Bridges planned q
second elopement. He led the detect
ives who arrested him to believe
that he was going back to Mon
treal via st. Adams by the 4
|P. N. train, and the officer on
duty at the Grand Central depot AYERS
that when the train started only one
ticket was sold for Montreal, and that
the purchaser answered Mr.. Brydges's
description. Instead of going to Mon
treal Mr.. Bridges registered at the
Hoffman House as j. II. Bridges, of
Phmnixville.
AS soon as her relatives went down
stairs Mrs. Mackenzie was seen by the
hall boy to leave the hotel hurriedly by
the southern entrance. She engaged
hack, drove to the Hoffman House, and
ten minutes later Mr.. Brydge's bag
gage was transferred to the vehicle and
they we're driven away, and all trace of
them has since been lost.
When Mr.. Benyon and Mr.. Allan re-
turned to their rooms they heard one of
the little girls crying in Mrs. Macken-
zie's apartment, and, suspecting some
thing wrong, entered the room, and dis
covered her plight. Messengers were
summoned, and Superintendent Walling
and Detective Phil Kelley were ap-
praised of what had occurred, but could
do nothing, as Mrs. Mackenzie fed in
her own personal apparel, and there
was no excuse for telegraphing for the ar
rest of Bridges on any technical charge.
At 1890 P. NJ, yesterday, Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Allan, parents of Mrs.
Mackenzie, arrived at the Grand Cen
trail Depot. They were accompanied
by their family lawyer, she Hon. J.
J. G. Abbott, @. c.. M. F.,
81. B. Ms Commissioner for Onta-
rio, and member of the firm of Ab
bott, Tail, Wotherspoon & Abbott. Mr..
and Mrs. Allan were much affected by
the news of their daughters second
opponent, and at their urgent request
were assigned apartment No. 112 at the
Windsor Hotel.
Yesterday Superintendent Walling
received a telegram addressed to Mr..
J. III. Bridges by his father, Mr.. @. J.
Bridges, and marked urgent and to
the care of the Superintendent. Mr..
Walling holds the dispatch, and ex-
poets tie arrival of Mr.. Bridges, ST.,
and Mr.. w. e. Mackenzie by the A.
M. train to-day. .
