A Most Horrible Crine-A Lady
ChlOr0fOrmel, Robbed and Out
raSes.
New YORK, July 90.
The Times to-day adds to its criminal
record an account Of perhaps the most au-
dacious crime ever perpetrated in the coun-
try. 1t appears that some months since a
married lady OF Boston, of great refine
ment n beauty, and occupying a promi-
nent social position, had been visiting
friends in the interior o. this State, and
when leaving took a drawing room car on
the New York Central Railroad for Albany,
where her husband awaited her. Two vii
lains followed her into the car, probably at
tracted by the valuable jewelry which she
wore, and when the conductor approached
the lady for her ticket, they informed hin,
that they we're her friends, and that
she was deranged, and they unfor-
tunately had been selected to
convey her to the Utica asylum. In spite
OF her protestations and appeals for pro-
lection, the ~scoundrels succeeded in CON
vinclng the conductor and passengers Of
the truth OF their story, and removed the
lady from the cars at Utica, she swooning
as the train moved away. She was then
lifted into a coach, chloroformed End taken
to a house Of ill-repute, outraged and rob
bed Of her jewelry and clothing. The hus-
band learned of his wife's alleged insanity,
Wien be arrived at Albany, and pro-
curing a special engine, starttd for Utica
without delay. Upon arriving q few in
quiries enabled him to find the house
where his wife had been taken, and there
he foundh her lying upon a bed almost strip
ped Of her clothing and her mind serious
ly impaired by her terrible experience.
No names are given from considerations OF
delicacy. The husband made every effort
consistent with privacy to discover the
tends, but SO far without avail.
