A sad case of seduction, suffering and
death, has come to light, at Elmore,
Ottawa county, within a short time.
Several months ago a woman named
Sebring, land who it now appears is the
same that disappeared number of
years ago with former treasurer of
Sandusky county, arrived in Elmore,
having with her young lady named
Laura Reed, from Cincinnati. They
stopped with friends of the Sebring, the
the younger being apparently in her
charge. A few weeks ago the young
girl gave birth to a child, and from that
time till her death was kept confined
in a garret, and but poorly supplied with
necessaries ofa sick bed. Her attending
physician attempted to have her remov
ed to more comfortable quarters, but the
girl appeared TO fear the Sebring, and
would not be moved. Some benevolent
ladies Of the town hearing of her condi
ton attempted to alleviate it, but it was
too late and she died on the Sth. Before
her death she charged that she had been
seduced by married man named Rey-
nolds who boarded in her fathers family,
and who taught class of young ladies
in the Sabbath school, attached to York
street church, of which they we're all
members. When she discovered her
conoition she confessed the matter to
her father, but Reynolds succeeded in
making him believe her story false, and
in SO arranging matters that his victim
was sent to Elmore in the care of the
woman Sebring as stated. Ather death
her body was sent to Cummingsville by
express to her friends, and it was buried
on Saturday the 11th. The matter
should receive full investigation, as in
timations are thrown out that her death
occurred after strong manifestations Of
poisoning. The Cincinnati Gazette has
published Il statement of the facts, but
the matter appears TO have dropped with
that.
