ter OF one OF our prominent citizens at her

that he was in the employ OF her father

companied Schuyler to the place where

tered the room he locked the door and told
the girl she was a prisoner until money
had been paid him. He then forced her
70 copy the following part OF a letter TO
her father which he had written: -
"DEAR PAPA:-I ask you to give this

to be released, promising to raise the re-
quired sum and bring It to him,1

had had happened, she was released, and
yesterday told the story. Schuyler was
arrested and confessed to-day his crime.
