Harry Worn discovered in San
Francisco, seven years ago, that
Anna Morris, whom he was to
marry, had also q matrimonial en-.
gagement with another man.
Harry had given her $1,000 worth
of jewelry, clothes and money,
showing how much he loved her,
but upon learning of her deception
he said decisively that she could
never be his wife. She thought
differently, and threatened to shoot
him if he discarded her. To avoid
trouble he came 10 New York. She
followed, showed him a pistol that
she had bought, and declared that
she would kill him If he did not
marry her. He fled to Buffalo, and
for four years did not see her; but
she turned up at length, and re-
newed her threats. He appeased
her with $500 and went to Chicago.
He met her In the street few days
ago. She asked him if he was
ready to marry her. He said no.
She cooIly put her hand under her
sealskin sack, and drew cut the
same old pistol. He seized her, but
she wriggled away through the
crowd that had gathered and
escaped. But Mr.. Worn expects to
see her again.

A POLICE RUFFIAN.

To THE EDITOR OF HERALD
Allow me to contribute another to the many brutal
police outrages which you have recently recorded.

passersby attracted by the violent language Of

lent blow the head of one Of the poor girls. In

out. .'dst out Of here!" at the same time striking

nearly pushing both of them OF their feet. The at
tack was sudden that the bystanders stood al
most brcathless at this brutal and unprovoked
sault The women tried to expostulate. while the
bystanders Indignantly cried out to the officer to
leave the women alone and arrest the man who was
escaping. But no; the officer hvid with
passion. He began transferring his atten-
ton to those standing by. rushing from
one to another like mailman. lifting up his club,
but evidently not daring to strike. Seeing his in
furated condition several gentlemen began demand
ing his number. Thereupon the officer. selecting
one them special object of his wrath turned
upon him with fearful oath and told him to clear
out. This the gentleman very coolly declined to do
The officer beginning to realize the fact that he had
different parties to deal with than usual then
deavored to get away but by this time tho bystand
ers were determined getting his number il pos

he could not escape. finally gave some number, but
still refused to show his shield, which throughout
was concealed from sight. The bystanders con-
tinued to demand to see the number but did SO in
a proper but determined way. At length q sudden
idea seemed to seize the officer. and rushing
up to the gentleman above alluded to, he
rudely grasped him by the anu hurried him

while followed by numerous persons, he frequently
heaped the prisoners head abuse and insult. The

OFFICER NUGENTS BAIL.

An argument was had before Judge Van Brunt In
Supreme Court. Chambers. yesterday. in the of
Officer Nugent. indicted for participation in tho
Manhattan Bank robbery. Mr.. William +. Howe,
his counsel. in applying to reduce the amount of his
clients bail, said that this the third application
made to the Supreme Court in Nueents behalf. In
the first instance Judge Donohuc had refused the
application because the District Attorney had prom
iscd to try the prisoner in the June term of tho
Court of General Sessions. and IN the second in
stance Judge Potter stated that the prisoner was en-
titled to trial or reduction OF bail. The entire
term OF the Court OF General Sessions went by and
yet the prisoner not accorded his trial. Judge
Van Brunt said he would render his decision to-day.
