PITTsBURG, July 21.-1'he most in
tense excitement exists in Somerset
and WestmOreland counties over the
abduction and outrage last week Of
Saloma Blrkett by twenty attaches of
Boyd and Peters circus. The girl was
recovered yesterday. 1t appears that
after the circus men found her father
was after her at Ligenier, they took
her across the mountains and aband-
oned her. She fell into good hands,
who sent her to her home. Miss Bur

II years old in December.
At the hearing to-day before Judge
Hunter, of GreenSburg, in the case of
). G. Peters, A. d. Davis, II. Marks
and Clark Wise, pro prietOrs and attach
es of the circus and menagerie, charf>
ed with abduction the girl from her
home near Shanksville, Somerset coun.
ty, Congressman CJffcoth volunteered
his services for the prosecution.
The girl testified that she was at the
show at Shanksyille, OH Tuesday, the
18th instant, ut , O'Clock. When the
show was over she started to 60 home,
but Snowman met her by .the church
and asked her to go back to the show.
She told him she didn't want to go
back, but he took hold Of heI and drag.
ged her back. She was at the show at
night, and when the show was out she
started to go home with the Zury fam
lily, at the door she was met again by n
crowd of showmeh; she was thrown
down and they all violated her person.
They then put her in the ticket wagon
and took her to Jenner Cross Roads,
and on the way one of them renamed
in the wagon with her and again viola
ted her person. She again tried to get
away from them, but was prevented.
Five of them took her to the woods and
again violated her person. After this
she has no recollection of anything

she was at Ligonier or how she got
there, and did not know how she got
back to Somerset.
The case was Continued and the pris-
Oners were sent to Jail. They were all

had come to do as they pleased. One Of
the White boys drew knife and CONF
