who was from Marietta, and to whom
he professed to be married. He took
his wife 10 Marietta on a visit to her
mother, to whom he exhibited GER
tificate of marriage (which he had
forged and remained at Marietta
several weeks, while he did business
with the farmers in that vicinity.
When Mrs. Tyson, the mother of
Sallie. discovered that her daughter
was not married to Engle, who in the
meantime had abandoned her, the
poor old woman became insane, cut
her throat and was found dead on her
chamber floor.
The last heard of Sallie Tyson she
was wanderer In the slums of New
York. While Engle and Sallie were
in Harrisburg he robbed her OF fifty
dollars on the plea that he wanted
the money to furnish room, but with
this sum he Immediately left the city,
going West, and was only heard of
by those who knew him here by his
late operations in Reading 1t is be-
lieved here, by parties intimately ac-
quainted with the young bigamist,
that he is not insane, but is playing
of" to escape the penalty of his
crime. He is an intriguer and a vii
lain, desperate and reckless to very
high degree.
