for Minneapolis he told her he would marry
her as soon as he returned, and the 10th of the
present month was fixed upon as the day for
the performance Of the ceremony. In accord

and that if he married her his family would
have no sympathy for him, as he was already
indicted for the crime, he would be sent to the
penltentiary unless he could get his folks to
settle the matter for him. He even told her
that he was then his way to Milford, a small
town few miles off, to see the party whose
name he had forged, to endeavor to get him
not to prosecute him. Miss Pierce begged him
to consider her condition, and to make her
the only restitution in his power, but
he only told her that he could not marry her
now. Since then she has seen him but once,
and then he repeated that he could not marry
her now. Thursday night Miss Pierce wrote to
Dr.. stoddard and his daughter, informing
them that she had been seduced by Longbrake,
and was pregnant by him, in the hope that,

tive that knowing that Longbrake was engaged
to Miss Btoddard, he objected to his paying at
tentions to his daughter, when Longbrake in
formed him that his intentions were strictly
honorable, and asked him for permission to
marry his daughter. This was before she was
divorced, and before he knew that she was
married. After the divorce Lon1brake again
sllenced his objections to his visiting his daugh-
ter by renewing his professions of honorable in
tent and again asking and obtaining his con-
sent to marry Emma. Mr.. Pierce declares that
within the past week Longbrake confessed to
him that his story to Emma about his having
committed forgery was untruth and merely
told her to gain time. When asked why he did
not sue Longbrake for seduction breach of
promise and bastardy, Mr.. Pierce replied that
ne was unwilling to drag his family affairs into
the courts 1t it could be avoided, especially as
Longbrake had no means of his own, and could
only obtain money from his father who was in
no way responsible for his sons misdeeds. So
the affair stands at present writing.
Gossip in the town declared that Longbrake
is engaged to still another lady, a school-teach-
er in Circleville whose name it is not neces-
sary to mention.
DR.. Stoddard, the father of the lady who is
to marry Longbrake on Wednesday, was
formerly a professor in Miami University in
oxford, and is we'll known there
abouts. 1t is thought that when
he knows the real circumstances of
the case he will not permit his daughter to
sacrifice herself by marrying her to Lon brake.

the invitations were out for

made, and the affair was entirely private. That
a father should even consent to the marriage of
his daughter under such circumstances is pecu-
Liar, and when he insists upon it the peculiar

Miss Pierce was, at last accounts reported to
be very low, and thought to be in a dying con-

The indignation against Longbrake through
