Now comes the Sheriff of Warren
county with a warrant for the arrest
Of John Schlooser, a carpenter of this
city, charging him with seducing Liz
zie Bolton, formerly of Jonesburg,
Montgomery county, but lately a
house girl for VIM. Harper, of this
city.
Schlooser for some time has lived
in Mexico, and lately married a young
lady of this city, who, of course at
the present time, feels rather peculiar.
They had not been married long be-
fore Lizzie Bolton appeared with a
child that tried, but failed, to lisp
''papa!" Schlooser, of course, did
not know the parties, but the Sheriff
appeared, and then introductions were
useless. The Sheriff took the gay
Lothario to Warren county. A wife
vas left. without a husband, a mother
was not a wife and child was without
a father. 1t is hard to see, at the pres
ent time, how matters a be adjusted
so as to please all concerned. The
Warrenton Banner says:
John H. Schlooser was brought here
Friday afternoon from Mexico, under in
dictment by oui Circuit Court, for the
seduction of Lizzie Bolton, and in default
of $500 bail he was committed to jail.
Lizzie Bolton's parents came to Warren
county from Pennsylvania several years
ago, and are now living on the Hamp.
Ball farm, in the western part of the
county. Lizzie is a neat-appearing, good
looking girl, and though a mother of near
ly four months standing she has not quite
reached her 18th year.
Schlooser is a young man, and is also
from Pennsylvania. Lizzie knew him here
and also while she was in the employ o.
of Mr.. VIM. Harper, Of Mexico. Schloos.
er was her first lover, and in him SHE
placed the utmost confidence and sacre(
trust. He told her of his love and, under
the solemn promise of marriage, he &C
complished her ruin, and left her an out
cast to brood over the shame he hat
brought upon her.
Schlosser Stunned Lizzie after he hat
accomplished her ruin.
Lizzie came to Warrenton and mad
complaint against the young man and ha'
him indicted under the following section
eff any person shall, under promise O
marriage, seduce and debauch any un
married female of good repute, under 2
years of age, he shall be guilty of a felon,
and, upon conviction thereof, be punishe,
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary no
less than two nor more than five years, O
by fine net exceeding $1,000 and impris
Onment in the county Jail not exceeding
one year. But, if before judgment upo1
an indictment the defendant marry tn
woman thus seduced, it shall be a bar t
any further prosecution of the ofense."
The girl says her father expressed sym
pathy for her shame, and attached th
blame to her recreant lover; but he
mother drove her from home and, in con
sequence, she is nov staying at Jones
burg trying to earn a living for herself.
Schlooser is a brunette tall, slender
about 25 years old, and of rather goo
appearance. He has been working at tn
carpenters trade In Mexico, and was
only a few weeks ago, married to a vOun
lady of that city.
The above is made up in accordanc
with the statement of Lizzie Bolton, an
on which the Indictment was found. W
are not in possession of Mr.. Schlooser'
version of the matter or the line of de
fence he proposes setting up. Mr.. H. "
Johnson, of Jonesburg, was here Frida
afternoon as counsel for the defendan
and we understand Mr.. L. j. Dryden
also employed in the case as associat
l counsel for the defense.
