that married lady of Boston, of great refine
ment and beauty, had been visiting friends in
the interior of New York State, and when
leaving for home took a drawing-room car
on the New York Central Road for Albany.
She was followed into the car by two villains,
who were probably attracted by the valuable
jcwelry she wore, and when the conductor APP
peared they informed him that the lady was
insane, and that they were her friends con-
veying her to the asylum at Utica. On arrv-
ing at that place they conveyed her from the
cars, she swooning away at the time, took her
to disreputable house, and robbed her and
subjected her to the grOssest indignity and
outrage. When the train arrived at Albany
her husband learned Of his wife's alleged in
sanity, and Immediately started for Utica on
a special engine. He soon ascertained the
Whereabouts of his wife and found her in
woeful condition, her mind being seriously
injured by her terrible experience. Every eff
fort has since been made, consistent with
privacy, to discover the fiends, but so far
without avail.
