New YORK, Aug. lon the evening of
the 4th of July handsome young lady,
Miss Louise Heuser, of Brooklyn, who has
been spending the summer at her brother
in-law's, DR.. Hasbrouck, at Milton, on the
Hudson, was seized by two masked men,
chloroformed, and her clothing removed
She was found on the floor of the hall with
her feet against the front door.
After careful investigation it was re-
ported as probable that the outrage was
committed by young men in the village
whose sweethearts we're jealous of Miss
Heuser and that it was done to disgrace
her. DR.. Hasbrouck employed New York
detectives to clear up the case, and now the
citizens of the village are greatly excited
over the arrest of an English physician
named DR.. Miller, charged with being the
perpetrator of the outrage.
Threats of summary vengeance are in few
instances even made. He is TALL etteminate
in build, has quiet voice and hands as fine
as woman's and aged forty years. Last
Friday, when Miss Heuser was sitting at
the window, she saw a man jump out of a
wagon, and as he walked toward the side
| walk she cried out to her sister, Mrs. DR..
Hasbrouck, ooh dear, there goes one of the
men who assaulted me. | know him by his
build. Look at his feet, they are exactly
like those of the tallest of the two who
stripped me on that fearful night"
The detectives theory is that all of Miss
Heuser's clothing was removed so that
there should be nothing to identify the
girl by. She was to have been rolled in
sheets that men outside had, and at once
carried away. The chloroform on the
sponge would have been renewed, and the
body been sold for medical purposes. A
body like hers, he said, would have been
worth much money. They were already
carrying her out when they heard persons
on the piazza.
The neighbors heard the scufling in the
hall, and tried the door. Then the scuf
fling ceased, and they tried to open the
door, but could not. The reason was, Miss
Heuser's feet were against it. The rutfians
heard some one coming, and left her in
that position to delay pursuit. The detect
ives think the other man or men were
roughs hired by DR.. Miller TO help him
carry her off. Miller is graduate of Edin
burg University, and has practiced med
cine in England He came to this country
ten years ago, and settled in New Hamburg
