A GENUINE ROMANCE.
Ellen Murphy, Uho Recently Read All
about Her Murder In the Ne,u York. Pe-
pers, Masries Her Supposed Murderer.
From the New York Sum-
Ellen Murphy's history, SO mysteriously
hidden since August from every one Of her
intimate friends who supposed her body was
hatfonnd in the barrel at Sill yer Lake, Staten
Island, in September, had it's latest and to
her most eventful chapter acted yesterday
In yesterdays San it was briefly related how
Ellen left her trunk at Mrs. Condren's in
Tompklnsyille, and went to look for her
lover, Louis Riege, in Somerville, N. j., how
she did not find him, and how she then dis
appeared. She had limited that she was 90
ing to Europe if Louis Riege would not pro-
vide for her and protect her when she
was about to become the mother of his
child. The avenues of travel to Europe
We're visited by reporters, but moth
ing could be learned of Ellen's departure
by any water route from the city. 1t had
been tacitly agreed that the fate of Ellen
Murphy was to be only one of the hundreds
of similar ones. Apoor girl had again been
weary of life, and sought self-destruction.
Riege had been as anxious as anyone to
know of her whereabouts. After his dis
charge from arrest he resumed work in
Freeman's brewery, in Clifton, where,
eighteen months ago, he first met Ellen. AS
ne had been in danger Of indictment for the
murder of Ellen while the body in the barrel
was thought to be hers, and as the news
papers had heralded his testimony before
the coroner's jury, and yet Ellen had not ap-
peared to set him free, he feared that she
was no longer living. On Thursday last
Louis was told at the brewery that woman
wanted to see him. In moment he stood
before Ellen Murphy. With cry of Joy he
took her in his arms. Her face was pale.
Together the couple returned to Ellen's hired
apartments i'll this city, where the father was
presented with healthy girl baby just two
weeks old. It's blue eyes and its nose are the
reproduction of Ellen's, while the lower face
is an image of Louis. A San reporter, cal
ling on the young couple last evening, found
them on the point of starting out to be mar
ried. friendly German woman in the house
had the baby in charge, and was to stay at
home and care for it until Ellen and Louis
should return.
The bride elect wore drab dress trimmed
with navy blue and blue ribbon was at
her throat. She took from nail white
hat, jauntily cooked up on one side, and
tastefuliy trimmed with light blue silk. s.Be
careful of the BABY was her parting re-
quest. Louis, who wore business suit
picked up his soft felt hat, and, before put
ting it on, bent over the baby and kissed it
tenderly. The reporter was an invited
guest, and on the way to the ministers, Ellen
told, while riding in street car, some of her
history. She refused, however, to reveal
where she Went after giving up Louis, in
August. 1t was not to any rooms in this
city, as has been said, but to a country town
100 miles from New York, in private fam
lily, where she went undsr an assumed name.
In her skirt lining she had sewed up all her
savings, amounting to 300 in cash. and on
that she relied 30 pay her expenses. A ply
stefan and careful nurse attended her.
The findings of the unknown body was
known to her, and the subsequent dispute
whether it was her own or not, but she
would not reveal her whereabouts. When
Louis was arrested, she eagerly read the
newspapers to see whether he was to be i'm
prisoned for her murder. If 80, then she
had determined to return home and have
him released. But if be was to be only for
time in trouble she would let him endure
it. She thought that he ought to have some
punishment for his neglect of her in Clifton.
Ellen added that they had decided, in many
conservations last summer, that they would
Immediately marry, but the dread of ex-
posure, and, more than all, of facing their
friends, who objected to the union, either
on account of differences in religious belief
OF in nationality, kept them unsettled in
purpose.
Ellen's story was told in intervals of con-
versation with Louis, and her words as well
as her manner toward him showed that she
was glad to have found protector. There
was even sparkle in her eyes, faint color
on her pale cheeks, and renewed vigor in
her motions. When the wedding party
alighted from the street car Louis led the
way to the De Witt City mission chapel, in
Greenwich street, near Cedar, a tiny Gothic

is unsectarian. The Rev. George Haft, a
Baptist minister, is in charge, however, and
he greeted the wedding guests.
There was a brief prayer, invoking the
Christ who was at the marriage in Cana of
Galilee to witness and bless the nuptials, and
a briefer address in which the little company
was reminded that it is not good for man to
live alone, and that therefore God made
woman to be a heipneet for him, when the
minister joined the right hands OF the couple
and pronounced them man and wife. Louis
meanwhile looked at the minister, and Ellen
kept her eyes fixed on the floor. AS a prayer
was offered that the marriage might be recog-
nized in heaven, Louis eyes filed with tears
that rolled down his face. Then Louis tuck
ed something into the minister hand. The
minister held the outer door open and shook
hands with each member of the party as it
walked into the street. Up Broadway it
vent, and, in passing the flower stand in front
of St. Paul's church, the reporter bougat a
bouquet Of roses and v1olets and gave it to
the bride. It was their only present. The
neWly-married couple returned to their COM
Portable room. Louis says they are to re-
turn to Statan Island to live, some time in
this week,
