A Peoria ISOIuunce.

The Peoria, Qll.) TRANSCRIPT, relates an Incl
dent in the life of young girl named Lizzie
Pratt which has an air of romance about it,
The girl was tho daughter of n soldier of tho
late war; who died in the army when she was
about three years of age. Her mother, having
married, removed to Rome, Iowa, to reside,
while Lizzie remained at service, residing
with families in the vicinity of Dunlap, in
Peoria County, the last being that of n Mr..
Smith. In November last she left the Smiths
to visit her mother in Iowa. few days after
she left Mrs. Smith missed an imitation tor
t0ise shell neck chain, u pocket-bOok contain
ing SIS or $50 in money and some other ar
tclcs, and suspicion was directed to Lizzie.
This was strengthened by the fact that chain
resembling the one lost by Mrs. Smith was
found on the person of young man named
girl, and who claimed to have re-
ceived II from her. He protested to have
faith in the honesty of his beloved, and went
to Iowa to induce her to return and face the
accusations made against her, but found her
already making preparations to do so. She re-
turned voluntarily without waiting for n
requisition, TO strengthen the suspicious al
ready entertained against her, n pocket-book
which she had bore so strong q resemblance
to Mrs. Smiths that witnesses were ready to
swear to its Indemnity. The girl was indicted,
and last week her trial came of in the Circuit
| Court of Peoria county. 1t was shown on the
| trial that she had purchased all tho articles ut
| a certain store in the city of Peoria, aud she
| was triumphantly acquitted, the jury scarcely
| taking time for delibention. Attempts were
| made to induce her to confess the crime on the
promise of immunity from punishment, but
| she protested her innocence throughout, and
was finally rewarded for her firm determi-
nation to shield her name from dishonor by
her complete yndication,
